They have a great eye for talent, but they are very dishonest to their employees

Pros

I honestly can think of none after the experience I had. I realized that everything I thought was great about the job was a tool to manipulate me in the end.

Cons

No one is honest with you from the lowest level of Management, all the way to the CEO. It is a small company, so you do have quite a bit of exposure to Richard Lock. There are no chances to improve on anything. If you aren't performing as expected (which, no one really tells you what is expected of you), they just fire you out of the blue.

Negative disheartening experience

Pros

Location, parking, access to gym, many years of experience behind them, work hard play hard mentality.

Cons

I worked for LS for less than one year. I was promised that I would gain exposure to their strong client list, I would benefit from introductions to their clients and that I would have their full support in building up a brand new division. NONE of this happened I made many attempts to reach out to LS's internal recruiters for assistance that was simply put ignored. I went to upper management the same person that made all of these promises that was flat out ignored with a shrug of the shoulders because simply put this was not his problem.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to hear about your negative experience working for Lock. It is never our intention to make promises we cannot keep. Our upper management does its best to be accessible to all employees, however, granting all requests is not always feasible. We have made a conscious effort in recent months to ensure new Recruiters that join our team benefit from our existing relationships and clients through regular conference calls meant to facilitate the sharing of information and connections. Thank you again for your feedback as we are always looking for ways to improve.

Pros

They say GOOD leaders make you feel like THEY are important, but EXCELLENT leaders make you feel like YOU are important. That's exactly what comes to mind when I think of my team at Lock- excellent leaders at all levels. The collaborative and supportive environment that LSG has is unmatched by any previous employer I have ever worked for. Your ideas, input and opinions are always accepted and that is the only true way that a business will continue to develop and innovate.

Cons

There is nothing at this time.
