My first impression of this company was not on the basis of much other than being treated well. I did not know much about the company and had no previous business with them.However, I had believed they must be doing something right as they've been in business for over a decade with offices around the world. Unfortunately, the honeymoon phase was over as quickly as it came. I was coerced into believing I would be treated well and well compensated for my hard work, but I quickly became overworked, underpaid and under appreciated. When I brought my concerns and questions to middle and upper management I was always asked to smooth things over with a fresh start as if things never happened. The company's progress is suffering from the infrastructure as there are too many corrupt and incompetent employees full of egos and false impressions whose worked four or more years with the company and are stuck on the way things used to be. I was under the impression that what I had to offer the company would be pleasing and beneficial for the advancement of the company to help drive the mission and productivity. But, I was faced with vindictive behavior and harassment not to mention character defamation. Unfortunately, there are many unhappy and dissatisfied workers who were once employed by this company as employment has become a revolving door with employees coming and going on a weekly basis. If your looking for a challenge this is the place, but if your looking for ethical behavior proceed with caution.

Work-life balance
A stickler about keeping the office and employees in until 6PM, despite a lot of business  losing steam around 4:30PM

Pay & benefits
Benefits come at a fairly high deductible, don’t kick in instantly (which is standard). Company does pay for some catered lunches as well as offering weekly massages (can’t always get a slot) and a stocked kitchen.

Culture
Small but barely there attempts at making employees feel included. It’s a very catty office as most are competing for their respective numbers and business, as well as divisive among races (barely any minorities in the office and most tend to congregate together).

Overall
Company gives off the impression of career growth and being a collaborative culture, but it’s not entirely true. If you enter under their accelerator programs (as an AMC or BDC) you are provided training and tools to grow. Outside of that position, the growth and collaborative environment is non existent. Very catty amongst colleagues and management, inappropriate comments are made about employees as well as talent (some racist, which is unfortunate) and can be a divisive office. Pay is also not to standard for the Business Development Managers, most of commission is given to the Recruiting team (and it’s a lower base salary).

The recruitment world is one of the most competitive service industries.  Add to that the unpredictability of people and it can be a very high pressure, stressful job. Fortunately, most of the employees, clients and candidates at 24 Seven are wonderful to work with on a daily basis.  
It is a very entrepreneurial environment and one must be aggressive to really succeed but if you thrive on working independently while at the same time relying on others to help produce, then it's a great place to work!  
My favorite part is working on a consultative basis with my clients and really being a true partner in their employment strategy.  I very much dislike working with clients who don't value that we essentially work for free unless they hire one of our candidates.  The hardest part of the job is not knowing if we can find the right candidate for a job order...but if you can accept that we only have so much control over that process then it is a lot easier to be happy there.  
Overall, I think that 24 Seven is the BEST creative recruiting agency out there.  I wouldn't consider for even one second working for other 'competitors' in our space.  


My typical day consists of branding and marketing to increase highly potential leads for the sales company. This involved being extraverted and being actively on your toes, speaking with consumers. I learned how to become more confident in front of people, how to handle rejection, and how to analyze my individual quota. I also learned how to set up for events at sports, concerts, or at local community events. My coworkers were very diverse in culture and race, depending on the area of the assignment. However, I can easily adjust to cultures and beliefs. My thoughts of people are always non-judgmental and I take people as they walk in the door. The most enjoyable part of the job is working with a cooperative team that was willing to help each other when needed. Another part I enjoyed was having as we were working an event. The hardest part of the job is handling consistent rejection.

I typical day working for 24-Seven Inc. would not be definite. This corporation has multiple areas of work with selections processing based off of ones experience and personal preferences. The management is always professional, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. My co-workers are diverse as the jobs themselves and unique in their own set of skills which 24-Seven is fond of. The hardest part of this job would be choosing which event to work with, there are many possibilities available every week depending on your interest and based by location. I enjoy helping other people and utilizing my customer service skills along with my creative background with the freedom of 24-Seven's possibilities for hire. My favorite jobs were working for charity events, women's events, and retail pop-up stores and events.

Everyone in the office is absolutely amazing. They cater to the employees and send work daily. Most jobs that they have sent me are high end retail jobs, but they do send Brand Ambassador positions as well as some other positions that aren't necessarily retail but involve customer service skills. I really love this company, because whether I am in the city or not, they still send work. I am a professional dancer, so I have been in and out of the city for work. With 24seven, they are flexible and willing to work with me. You either are available for what they send or you're not and they are okay with either or.

I had an internal role as a business development manager. There is a very hostile energy. People are not helpful. They speak to you disrespectfully. While I was in training and instructed to shadow someone I was told I was a "F*$%ing distraction." Really nice to hear as the new girl. My VP was non existent but made judgement calls on assumptions. The infrastructure is a mess. It is smoke and mirrors with a beautiful office hiding the lack of organization. I am embarrassed to have ever been affiliated.

If you're in retail and are interested in a week's worth of grueling training only to be let go the next week along with half of the staff, I would highly encourage you to apply to a position. The luxury clients they recruit for foster a toxic work environment & no one will have your back. Your recruiter is only there for their cut and to call you in the middle of the day to fire you. Worst agency, go somewhere else.

I'm a previous employee of 24Seven, and incredibly unhappy with my experience.  I have tried so many times simply to connect with the recruiter there and, after having been completely dismissed -- over and over -- I am going with some of the more reputable agencies in town.

Seriously, how hard is it to return a phone call?  I think.....if your job is to be a recruiter....it isn't.  Not at all.

They take half your paycheck before you even see it.  So if they can't do you the courtesy of responding to you, they are pointless.  I wish companies would do away with hiring from 24Seven entirely.

Iv'e definitely been enjoying my time working at 24 Seven particularly because of the diversity of the staff. Every assignment entices an individual to work with someone either from different background or state. Some assignments better than the other, but it gratifies ones' persona when helping a customer find what they're looking for or even making a sale.

Definitely a great experience but it is my need to grow into a more steady role.
