Pros

Good place to work when you first get out of college, you work with nice people and it teaches you a lot about hard work, diligence, and really sets you up for a career past staffing and recruiting.

Cons

There isn't any opportunity for a career growth. This is true not only at Avid TR but throughout the staffing and recruiting industry. People who are young in their career like to see advancement and career opportunity, and there isn't much opportunity if any to grow here. There are long hours, they can pay off because you have uncapped commission, but there is slim to none in regards to working from home, vacation time, any sort of flexibility. The benefits here are terrible, no 401K match, you pay a ton and a half for health insurance, no cell phone reimbursement, 10 vacation days. You can find MUCH better benefits elsewhere. HUGE turnover at the company between offices being shut down, valuable people being fired, and people quitting on their own. There is a huge turnover in general in the industry but this was surprising.

AVID Technical Resources Response

We appreciate hearing feedback from our employees and former employees. Ultimately, we do pride ourselves with not only being a great place to work straight out of college, but for those with industry experience or changing careers. This review is accurate in that we’ve built a team of people that is pleasant and fun to work with, while helping set them up for a successful career. We’re always open to constructive criticism, however some of the cons referenced are just not accurate. For example, we do provide flex hours and remote work. While we do give 10 days of vacation PTO, we also allow 10 days of sick time off, thus providing our employees a month of PTO a year. We feel this is actually quite generous and above industry norm. We’ve also changed our healthcare plan in the past year to be less costly. As for our 401k plan, unfortunately we do not offer a match for the sole reason that we extend our retirement plan to all of our external consultants. No company is perfect and we’re certainly always looking to improve. However, when it comes to transparency, we respectfully disagree with this review. AVID management works hard to keep an open, respectful dialogue with employees. We try to share information as it becomes available and we constantly ask for feedback and ideas for improvement. We pride ourselves in our transparency and go out of our way to communicate. We want our employees to know they are the most valuable aspect of this company. This has always been a priority for AVID management and it always will be. We’re sorry things didn’t work out for you here and we certainly wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

I had the pleasure of working with Millie Trin from Avid Technical Resources during my job search for a payroll position. Millie was incredibly professional, responsive, and well-informed throughout the entire recruitment process. From our initial conversation, it was clear that Millie took the time to understand my experience, skills, and career goals. She provided valuable insights into the payroll role I was applying for, offering detailed information about the company, job responsibilities, and what the employer was looking for in a candidate. This helped me tailor my application and interview approach, which made a significant difference. What stood out the most about working with Millie was her level of communication. She kept me informed at every stage of the process, promptly following up after each interview and providing feedback. Millie was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had and made me feel supported throughout the recruitment process. Thanks to Millie’s efforts, I felt well-prepared for my interviews and confident about my application. Ultimately, I was offered the position, and I truly believe Millie’s guidance played a big part in that outcome. I would highly recommend Millie Trin and Avid Technical Resources to anyone looking for a technical recruiter who is knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in their candidates' success.

Cons

Entry level positions are scarce
