Allegis Group

When I first started, the company was disorganized, but flexible. You worked hard, but if you needed some slack, they gave it to you. As they've gotten bigger, they've made it a requirement to work until you're so burnt out that you no longer remember how to read. It is seriously at the point where employees are so exhausted on the weekends (if they aren't working) that they just end up sleeping the whole time. 

They have no clue how to onboard or offboard employees, so most people just end up totally in the dark as to what is going on. In reality, the people who are managing the teams typically have almost no experience as an analyst, don't understand what "analytics" actually means, and thus usually make promises that the team can't deliver. It puts employees in the awkward position of having to explain to executives at client companies that "Oh yeah, the stuff you were promised before you signed the contract, yeah, none of that is actually possible. Sorry."

Employees are genuinely hard-working and care immensely about their coworkers and clients, but its stymied by the inability of the company to just shut up and let people do their jobs. Even more incredibly, there have been numerous complaints from the analytics team that the sales team keeps telling clients (and including in contracts) that the company can deliver incredible things that are, frankly, completely impossible given the fact that AGS is still operating in the stone age with no plans to update anything.

In short, this is a great place to get your foot in the door, but don't bet on this being a long-term career unless you really don't mind working yourself to death for almost no money. By the way - most employees don't get overtime but are required to work overtime.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Pretty easy going, mostly, from my experience in two different programs.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Programs end without notice constantly. I've been laid off twice in less than 3 months as a result. Not a good working environment when you're not sure if you're going to get paid for going in today. You better off running Uber As far as reliability of income.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
My experience, it was pretty lackadaisical. Neither program that I was in had any real clear direction, leadership, or purpose other than putting stickers on merchandise. Constant massive turnover from program managers all the way down to the front lines

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Go drive a lot of miles, walk into a store, be met with people who didn't expect me to be there. Doing what I'm doing, explain what I'm there to do, wait for them to make 12 phone calls and verify I'm supposed to be there. Doing what I'm supposed to be doing, then put the sticker on the machine or display, then leave. Wash rinser repeat, put in a mileage request at the end of the day.

I transitioned to Allegis Group Services after working at a sister company, Aerotek, for 2 years. Each experience with AGS is different depending on the account and team members you have but my particular experience was the best experience I've had to date. The team was great--very encouraging and willing to teach you anything you wanted to learn. I was fortunate enough to have a director who was personable, fun and enjoyed what he did. I am a strong believer in the idea that "everything trickles down from management" and my manager definitely created an environment we could all have fun in while still working hard. I had limitless opportunities to learn and apply my knowledge and my director actively discussed my interests within the company to get me on a promotion plan when I was ready. I left the company for a better opportunity but am still in touch with my team members. The experience was very rewarding and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Although the culture has changed quite a bit, overall my experience with this employer has been wholly enjoyable.  It was a great team environment with many agreeable personalities from co-workers to management.  I found the most difficult aspect of working here could be categorized as employee "burn-out".  However, there are many opportunities for internal personnel to transition to other focuses, operating companies and/or divisions.  You'll also find much support for internal mobility within the massive organization from superiors.  Teleworking is also supported which is a gigantic plus.  My only problem with this employer would be the fact that the internal IS department is scheduled for outsourcing.  Despite not being one to be affected by this, from what I was told, I do not agree with the business practice of laying off many hard-working, dedicated American workers. I did not want to be a part or in support of it.  Due to the sourcing effort the morale, atmosphere and dynamic changed considerably within the IS department.

Work assignments are travel assignments within a wide territory with a restriction to part-time hours as a field representative. You receive assignments weekly through a web platform and Microsoft Exchange mail. Remote trainings and conference calls are mandatory on a regular basis. Company requires a wide variety of metrics to be entered in real time while working. Work is rewarding, pays well enough and demands that you be totally self motivated, technically savvy and ready to take assignments on short notice. You can represent several companies to increase your income but you always work part time. Great job for entry level marketing grads who love technology and can afford to work only up to 15 hours per week.

A typical day at work would be selling mobiles sales under target as a vendor and not as a legitimate employee due to contract limitations. 

Management is by far welcoming and supportive despite the huge gap in disrespect and hear lack of feedback from actual employees who work in the company. 

The hardest part of the job is the very high expectation with lack of fundamentals and proper training via team sales lead and the high turn over rate of this company which they will deny on a daily basis. 

Allegis is a staffing company in Hanover, Maryland.  Allegis is in the middle of a years long transition from a national to a global company.  Their emphasis has shifted from North American operations and European operations to operations based from sourcing (India) with a view to gain market share in Asiapac.  They are in the middle of outsourcing all of their KTLO operation personel.  

I would have recommended this company highly as a place to work as recently as quarter one of 2014.  The environment and culture have significantly degraded as out sourcing has been implemented.  Allegis has unfortunately become yet another typical company instead of the great place to work that it once was.

I have been employed with this company for the last three years. I have absolutely no work life balance- have yet to take a vacation as the demands of my work supersede my ability to take time off. The pay is good. Not a fan of the $2500 deductible that has to be met before anything is covered on insurance. I have requested some feedback and asked what I needed to do to move into the next opportunity and have been stonewalled. This is not a place you will want to establish a long term career. Plan on working 40+ hours a week. The companies priorities come before you or your life or family.
