Wise Staffing

What is the best part of working at the company?
The position I held and it's purpose. Negotiating deals that would connect people with beneficial opportunities. Being a true partner in each's success.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The leadership. Lack of training, upper level support and lack of access to job related tools, unless self obtained. Constant employee turnover due to negative environment and culture. As a result, contracts cut short due to dissatisfaction, severing your hard earned relationships with your customers.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Extremely oppressive. Never felt like it was good enough & always having to fix past issues left by the last person who abandoned the same position because it's toxicity. It's unhealthy, coming straight from the head of the company. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Wake up with dread in your soul. Drive to the office while on the verge of tears. Sit in front of the business trying to find strength to go in. Once in you're forced to do multiple roles because to keep the place operational because another employee called off or quit coming to work. Participate in multiple, extended video meetings during the peak hours while also managing traffic & operations, making it hard to have work-life balance and success.

They advertise great pay in their job descriptions, but they will lowball you when you come in.
They will throw you into an office that is not performing well billing wise with absolutely no training, and then you become at fault when you don't double the billing in a month.
There is no job security.
They do not give "PTO" until 90 days, and even then, you get 5 days until your 1 year mark. Holiday pay; you have to work THE DAY BEFORE AND DAY AFTER the holiday to get the pay. AKA, You are working Dec 24 and 26, the day before Thanksgiving/Black Friday, etc otherwise it is UNPAID.
The commission they call "generous" is anything but. It is based on the gross profit each week, and the office salaries are taken out FIRST.
The corporate team will micromanage you, especially over things that do not matter. When you ask for help, you will receive a passive aggressive email and no answer given.
All they care about is the numbers, and you will be treated like one here.
The benefits? They're through Aflac. Crazy expensive for very little coverage, and you will still end up shelling out crazy money for anything you need done.
No maternity/paternity leave.
Don't even think about having a disability or needing an accommodation, either. The president will tell you to "figure it out". They will treat you like a number.

My time at wise was, unfortunately, one of the most challenging work experiences I’ve had. The workplace culture was toxic, filled with cutthroat behavior, unnecessary competition, and constant job threats from Vp and management. Instead of fostering teamwork and professional growth, leadership seemed to encourage division, favoritism, and mind games that made it difficult to trust colleagues or feel secure in my role.

There was a severe lack of organization, with shifting priorities, unclear expectations, and poor communication from management.they Do Not Train you they expect you to know it All. This not only created confusion but also led to a stressful and demoralizing work environment. Employees were often pitted against one another rather than supported as a team, making it hard to focus on productivity or career development.

If you’re looking for a healthy, professional, and growth-oriented workplace, I would strongly caution against this company. There are far better opportunities where leadership values employees, promotes transparency, and encourages a positive work culture.
If you have a business respect yourself and do not do business with them.

From the start, there was a lack of transparency regarding the state of existing accounts and business challenges. Much of my time was spent addressing issues that originated elsewhere rather than focusing on growth and client development. Management often seemed reactive instead of proactive, creating confusion, inconsistent direction, and unnecessary stress.

Communication from leadership was frequently unprofessional. Meetings often felt more focused on criticism and pressure than coaching, support, or collaboration. Often screamed at on Monday meetings by the CEO Marc with his camera off. The overall culture appeared to contribute to super high turnover, which made it difficult to build stability and long-term success.

I was also frustrated by the lack of follow-through on commitments made to employees, particularly regarding compensation and support. Despite putting in significant effort, I did not feel valued or set up for success.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend this company to staffing professionals seeking strong leadership, transparency, and a positive work environment.

I was talked into joining this so called staffing company… I learned a hard lesson my first day. The grass is NOT greener at Wise.

They don’t have a clue professionally how to run a business. Everything said and promised to me - All lies. Tupelo Corp is a joke. They haven’t a clue on corporate polices, procedures and how to handle.

Area managers are allowed to wear yoga pants, tennis shoes, wet hair, no makeup and visit clients - that’s the most professional thing I have seen from Wise.

I feel awful for my clients I talked into coming onboard… they are not happy and won’t be signing. They won't be using your services- you have no talent pool and lost the customer service that was provided. The few clients that stayed- you will only keep the one maybe.

My advice to you - Do a reorganization of corp and directors. It is very much needed. Very toxic and unethical work environment.
I’m still getting calls from clients and talents about how terrible you are.

A typical day is reporting to the office and usually a zoom call.  Then out making business calls to find new clients. Then report back to the office in the afternoon to work on proposals. I did not learn anything working at Wise.  There is no training. You learn the system on your own and wing it and try to meet your goals and hope that employers will sign your contract and that your recruiter will fill the open jobs. The management is horrible.  The owner manages with threats of losing your job and salary cuts. The hardest part of the job is that are too many other staffing companies that do a better job of promoting their companies and recruiting better employees to fill the jobs. Other staffing companies do a much better job and do not have as much turnover and high stress.  It is not a long term gig.  They turn over employees constantly in just about every position because of the constant pressure and stress.  

I'm absolutely disgusted by the treatment of employees at this company. It's clear that they view their staff as nothing more than a number. The moment you walk in the door, you are treated as nothing more than a cog in their wanna be profit-making machine. Recruiters are constantly pushed to meet unrealistic targets and expectations including having your phone set to view work emails at all times and even working weekends.

The lack of respect for employees is palpable in every interaction. People are constantly talked down to, micromanaged, and belittled publicly on Zoom. The company's only concern is maximizing billable hours.

It is truly disheartening to see such a toxic work environment where employees are not valued or respected. I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for a supportive and nurturing workplace. They have a long way to go in terms of improving their company culture and treating their employees with the respect and dignity they deserve!

My experience with Wise Staffing was nothing short of toxic and unprofessional. The VP of Sales was extremely unstable, making daily threats to fire employees if sales targets weren’t met. On multiple occasions, they called after hours to apply unnecessary pressure and even discussed personal information about coworkers—an unacceptable breach of professionalism.

The CEO was no better—constantly making threats and fostering a culture of fear rather than support. The leadership team operates through intimidation rather than motivation, creating a highly stressful and unhealthy work environment.

If you’re considering working with or for Wise Staffing, I strongly urge you to think twice. A company’s culture starts at the top, and unfortunately, Wise Staffing’s leadership is toxic beyond repair.
