Pros

If you read most of the reviews on here, they will bash the company or share outlandish statements about choosing no job over Modis. Here is the thing with Modis, it use to be a great company to work for. About 3-4 years ago they were focused on creating relationships with their employees, contractors and clients. Metrics weren't important, putting butts in seats was. This created a high level of success for many of its branches and then they got the great idea to make a Billion Dollars by 2017. This "marketing movement" changed everything Modis was about and in turned changed day to day operations (which is what made them so successful). They stopped treating employees with respect and only focused on the numbers (Calls/submittals/Interviews/placements). As this happened, senior level management pushed on every office to go make more money and moved away from what got them to the land of success. Management changed and stopped caring about the people. Individual offices lost their voice and senior level management's voice took over, even though they weren’t sitting in on a daily basis. They judged the office based on numbers and only numbers. As this new strategy to make a billion clouded the Senior Management, people felt unwanted. The turnover went through the roof and the stability was gone. Modis was losing good/quality resources but didn’t care because maybe they didn’t make 150 calls a week. The mentality was we only want people who put up a lot of calls/submittals and make crazy money even if the way they do it is at the expense of candidates and clients. Some of the top performers in Modis are snakes in the grass. They dont do things by the book, they step on toes, they disrespect candidates and yet because they make money for the company they are untouchable. This is not the modis I started at. I have faith that eventually it will turn back around, but a lot of very good people have left modis and by the time Modis realized they had a culture problem, it was too late. Modis still has a few good people left, and therefore I say judge each situation differently. PROS Good starter job Get some good people skills Fairly flexible work schedule Make some decent money once you get your feet wet CEO Jack Cullen is actually a good guy. I think he is just feeling pressure from above

Cons

-Management only cares about metrics -Top performers are protected citizens and can get away with anything. Management gets bonuses based on money generated, so top performers are allowed to do anything if they get results. -Very poor training program. -No upward growth -Most office Management is unaware how to deal with conflict and fix problems - Concerns are not heard or flat out ignored. Many people have shared the concerns on the way out the door and nothing has changed

Pros

Recruiters get a $100 expense credit for their phone

Cons

LIES LIES LIES. This company is built on lies and false promises to employees. You will read a few good reviews on Glassdoor but for your own happiness and professional development I beg you to read this one. This is a very poorly run organization. People are put in management positions that are not trained or capable to do so. As a result, their ineptitude trickles down to employees who are not put in a good position to learn and grow professionally. Additionally all upper management cares about is numbers! They don't care how many people actually get hired, they only care about your call numbers. Work life balance is horrible. Compensation is below average. Benefits suck and don't kick in right away. 401K is even worse. They will lure you in with their commission plan but in reality you will never actually get anyone hired so therefore you won't make any commission... ever Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Pros

Pay is decent, benefits are decent.

Cons

Many of the contractors that this company hires are of international descent. Behind closed doors in internal office meetings, these same contractors are made fun of for their various cultural backgrounds, accents, and names. I've been in these meetings and been disgusted by the behavior and discrimination. This company uses contractors of foreign backgrounds to line their own pockets and mocks the contractors behind their back.
