Pros

It's a young, ever-changing company and with that comes opportunity A lot of opportunity if you are willing to work late and say yes to all orders Potential to make a lot of money Decent base salary Work with bright, driven people

Cons

The company is completely disorganized. Executives change company policies on a weekly basis. Ridiculously high turnover rate. They would rather fire someone than provide the time and effort to help train them. Essentially, you are nothing more than your metrics and they will cut you loose as soon as you struggle. The CEO is a piece of work. Very type-A and shows blatant preference for obedient, attractive employees. Account managers are asked if you are "presentable enough for John" after your first in-person interview. Very much a turn 'em and burn 'em company. Don't get attached to your coworkers because it is highly likely that at least one of you will leave the company soon.

I wish I had read these reviews first.

Pros

Pros? I never found them.

Cons

If I had read the reviews of Outsource before I accepted a position there, I think I would have made a different decision regarding my career path. There are a few positive reviews that have been posted in the past few months - and I can say with certainty that they are both false. I learned that organization inside and out, and if you're smart and motivated and wish to be treated like an actual person - you'll stay away.

Beware!

Pros

The positive is the fact that I met some really cool people in training and my fellow office recruiter is bomb.com.

Cons

Everything, seriously. The CEO needs to be on medication. Someone needs to read the new DSM criteria and diagnose him with something. The company as a whole is horrendous. The base pay sucks depending on your market and the "unlimited" commission they promise you is a joke. Everything is tiered, meaning Outsource profits way more than you ever will off of your placements. You're expected to be "on call" all hours of the day and night. Heaven forbid if you attempt to get a few hours of sleep and don't answer a call at 6:45 in the morning. Turn and burn should be the new motto of Outsource. They claim to spend so much money to send employees to training and to pay their salaries, yet they would rather fire you if you aren't performing to their standards or meeting their metrics instead of investing in you and training you. You know there's an issue when an HR employee quits within weeks of being hired. They promote the most undeserving people to higher positions. Seems like being pretty (according to Outsource standards), dumb, and submissive are the standards for being promoted. Oh I forgot to mention the convenience factor. It's a little scary when the company is primarily ran by a bunch of 20 something year olds. That in itself spells disaster. They also expect you to make 250 cold calls a week while fitting in 5+ interviews. I don't know who they expect you to call each and every week, but that metric is a joke. Especially in developing markets and markets that have a lot of staffing competition. Don't bother asking the people that have "come up through the ranks" for help. They are worthless and give you "typical Outsource" answers. Heaven forbid if you need a day off and want to use the PTO that you actually earn after your 90 days. It's like a freaking inquisition just to take time off. I would rather be unemployed than work for that miserable company ever again. I hear the strip clubs are always hiring. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy and I hate her.
