      Does not value employees

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      If you are new to business there is lots of room to grow. Several interns have become directors of their respective department in only 1-2 years.

      Cons

      Employees are not valued at all... SEVERAL employees who took maternity or sick leave for serious medical issues have returned to find that they had been fired or their position in the company had "disappeared" Compensation is NOT competitive, also no 401k matching. The CEO is extremely impulsive and will change the company's "direction" so many times per day or week it is impossible to obtain any goals in any department. Senior Management is a revolving door.

      Company centered on greed and exploitation of young workers

      Business outlook

      Pros

      It's a salary... it pays my rent and puts food on the table, and it is 100% the only reason I'm still working at this miserable organization. If my superiors found out I wrote this, I'd be fired immediately.

      Cons

      Jobscience is owned and operated by the CEO and funded by his octogenarian father, the CFO. Despite being in existence for nearly 20 years, the company still considers itself a "startup" -- an illusion perpetuated by Management to justify their greedy and exploitative practices. Jobscience has developed a particularly callous model; They hire young, naive, and inexperienced new college grads for salaries which in the Bay Area can only be described as poverty wages. The company (bottom line) benefits enormously from the undervalued and underpaid labor of these young workers, who have no real choice but to stick it out until they've accumulated enough experience to leave and go to a real company. The only personnel in the organization who make anything close to a market-rate salary are the executives and managers. Believe me, corporate greed ain't just for the Fortune 500's...

      Thank you Anonymous for your candid comments about your experience of working at Jobscience, it is sad to hear that you just “show up to work every day for the salary”. At Jobscience, we are in hyper growth mode and for a small company of around 50 people, the change that growth brings can be unsettling. We offer all our employees market rate salaries as well as valuable employee benefits to all our employees young and old. We pride ourselves in the investment we make in our younger employees including partnering with The Challenge in the UK to create an apprenticeship program, we have built training programs and succession plans for all staff and there is a very clear growth plan for your career at Jobscience. Our year on year growth shows that customers have faith in the leading recruitment platform on force.com and we believe with this new management structure in place that we will continue to see this growth in years to come. We are building an environment of trust. We are about a respectful work environment where people can express their ideas, have honest discussions and in the end achieve the goal as a team.

      Mismanaged and unprofessional

      Business outlook

      Pros

      If you like a "start-up environment" then this is the place for you. It's been a "start-up" for 15 years and hasn't changed much.

      Cons

      -Compensation is drastically uneven across the company. It's been said that the only way to get an increase is to show an offer letter from another employer -Leadership and promotions are based on "who's left" after the constant departures of staff -Meetings are unprofessional and have been downright hostile at times -the few long term employees (over 3 years tenure) are not valued and in most cases valued less than newly hired staff -the company never does annual reviews or disciplinary actions -CEO and COO are father/son and that often leads to an imbalance of power -favoritism is rampant -there are a lot of "plans" but nothing is ever executed -The company continues to chug along, but never really gains any momentum in an industry that is booming

      Thanks for the feedback, it's not for everyone, the company grew new sales last year by over 200 percent and renewed 90 plus percent of our clients. Sorry it wasn't right for you, anonymous feedback will help us grow. Or you can call us to discuss where we dropped the ball, if you feel we are missing it, we need to know.
