Work-life balance
This place was a joke. At first just to get you on they were great but when you are finally on you are just another freaking number.

Pay & benefits
Pay was great and on time. But they will try and skim off your perdium  if you don't keep an eye on it

Job security and advancement
Will not move up here. They don't care about there workers at all.

Management
They will return your call when they feel like it. When a issue arises man it will not be handled well. They are more worried about there contract than they are you I found that out first hand. When they fire you they won't tell you they will just delete all your accounts and not return your call.

Culture
They care only about there contracts YOU ARE EXSPENDABLE AND A DIME A DOZEN that is there outlook.

Overall
Do not take there job out of decatur for electrical helper or cable puller. You will be required to live in North Charleston SC. Then they will put you up with a alcoholic supervisor that will keep you up all hours of the night and like to try and fight you and confrontational. Then when you complain about it they secretly fire you not tell you they fire you will delete all your accounts and not respond to you. Annistar is a company that only cares about there contracts not there workers.please don't fall for the lies from this company if they contact you.

This has got to be one of the worst technical recruiting agencies I've ever worked for. They post jobs on their website that are put on hold as soon as they post them. They can't pay you what you're really worth which if you have over 3 years of experience should be over $28/hr. They claim they can only get you at max $21/hr. and most of the time you will only get $20/hr or less. They don't return emails or phone calls. If you call their 800 #, it will ring and ring until it dumps to a voicemail box that never gets answered. Their account managers are way over paid for doing much of nothing. They lie about what they are billing the clients compared to what they are willing to pay you.. Guaranteed they are billing their clients 2-3X what they are paying you, the person that's actually doing the work.. 

This company takes advantage of college graduates and sells them on a "sales" position. If you want to work at a call center making empty dials on dead end jobs, then this is the place for you. The "management" in this company consists of constant threats and ridicule. They do not provide the proper training for their recruiter to excel in making commission. Management also takes zero time to get to know you and will threaten your job weekly. This company invests very little money to help train and to help frame you as a "sales person". Many recruiters are fed data that helps the excel causing issues internally. If you bring this up to management, then the data is deleted like it never even happened. I could not recommend a worse company to start your career with.

Really tough to come up with a positive note in my experience so far with this “hole within a hole”. The management or lack there of is an absolute tragedy. There are multiple recruiting managers doing a job that any one person could do from their couch in their underwear. However, all the blame and stress is put on recruiters when times are tough because there is absolutely zero accountability held by the overstaffed upper management. Recruiters are put in no way shape or form a position to succeed and it’s sad to see quality employees pushed away by individuals with little to no work ethic in management positions. The lack of business and common sense in this company is absolutely comical. If you’re a bright eyed kid coming fresh out of college, look out because you could be next to be trapped in this “hole within a hole”.

If I could offer management a 0 star I would, currently working at Anistar I'm always shocked as to the the lack of management or what could be.  Managers often get into bar fights in and out of the country and offer no suggestions or positive feedback for what you do or how hard you work. Management aggressively pushes that you work a 7:00 AM -7:00 PM when the agreed hours is a 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM  for a position that only pays 40 hour work week and takes 30% of your commission check to only put it in there back pocket. They offer no growth but to only those who are in personal relationships with management and makes you aware of who is liked and not liked in the office immediately. Currently trying to escape the hole that I am in.

Typical day consist of starting with follow up meetings and networking from previous days.
Most people are young recent graduates with an older staff of outside sales executives. Working here was great for the short term, long term benefits at the moment is just moving into an outside sales position. While the company is great, the clients are what hurt the company in my own opinion, relaying on too many people is a lot of factors in determining pay and commission and that part was not great...no matter how much work you do someone else's lack of effort can hurt you.

Anistar is a good place to get a start in recruiting, specifically in the low voltage field. The base salary and commission makes it a good place to grab experience. But once you grab that experience, I recommend heading on out. There is a lot of favoritism, lack of management, and lack of feedback. The micro-management is unbearable and ends with you submitting people who might not be a good fit, but at least you're getting a sub. The focus on subs and the shame if you don't hit your goal, or arent where they want you to be is frustrating. They want you to put in 50+ hours a week with no overtime pay. 

The coworkers are amazing and sometimes you get to talk to really interesting people. 

Anistar reached  me at a time I was in between full-time permanent employment. So the quick and easy turn around pace was great and I was working that same week. about the work I was to perform, id say I haven't done in years but the company who used Anistar for their employee needs were great and helpful people. It was a bit time strained to get the project done in time but that's how I like to work, under pressure.
  The only issue id have to gripe about is management in payroll, if something is wrong with the process in the beginning of on boarding, fix it immediately . and good luck on getting your calls returned or reaching anyone for that matter. It took a month for me to receive my first paycheck, which was due to miscommunication with their RAPID pay card, DONT DO IT.

Anistar was integral in developing my career.  Most of the placements were excellent experiences and they gave me the opportunity to travel across the country.  I am now working full time for the final placement I had with Anistar and am making more money than I thought was possible

If you are in a situation where you can be on the road for weeks at a time and can tolerate the occasional gap in your work history, I strongly recomend Anistar

me.

The most stressful part of the job at Anistar is filling out the I-9 form.

you and the company your contract for.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I do not work at the home office. I'm always working remotely. Base on the 

communication I have with the company,  I normally have a great day.
