Customer Experience
The tone of the reviews is overwhelmingly negative, with only one reviewer expressing a positive experience. Two out of three reviewers had a poor encounter with the company, citing unhelpful and arrogant behavior from management.
Unhelpful Management
Adam Lester was left frustrated with his experience, stating that a manager was uncooperative and refused to let him speak when trying to make a complaint over the phone. He also reported that the manager failed to provide the details they promised and ignored subsequent written complaints.
Contrasting Experience
In stark contrast, Mike Wilky had an excellent experience with the company, praising the recruiter as "kind, friendly, professional, and always doing the best to find the right job for you." He highly recommends the company based on his positive encounter.
Mixed Experience with Job Offers
Adrian Dreghorn joined the company and attended two interviews, but ultimately lost out on the first job to an internal candidate. However, the reviewer received a phone call about another job opportunity shortly after and was able to start the following Monday.
