Actalent reviews

If you want to succeed here long term you have to go through almost a hazing phase where, regardless of the territory/segment you are given, management lets the senior Account Managers cherry pick the established/successful accounts in your geographical territory "because that's how it was when they started". New AMs are held to certain standards like a 6 month minimum contract duration and $600 weekly net profit while senior AMs get away with 3 month duration and/or $200 profit per week forcing new AMs to walk away from potential business while allowing senior AMs to use these terms. Basically the whole management team in the Bay Area has never had another professional role after college aside from working at Actalent and it's very apparent in the cult-y environment. People are catty, work in a resource scarce mentality poaching opportunities form their peers wherever they can get away with it. As a company that stouts they understand how expensive attrition is, ask yourself, why are they always hiring for AMs/Recruiters? I can tell you from personal experience, in 2022/2023/2024 it is not due to company growth.

- "impacting lives" by lying to them and trying to sell them on our consulting model that none of our clients actually do - working with sub-par clients that don't pay people what they're worth making our job harder - no work life balance - used to sell people in on our hybrid schedule, but we are now 5x a week in office - Sales and recruiting are held to 2 very different standards and sales gets more flexibility - flexibility offered to leadership only (directors and above can work from home when they want while the rest of us are required to be in office) - Abysmal salary that is based off nothing other than your start date with the company and how many year end goals you hit - LAUGHable benefits. $750/year 401K match.. you read that right. Insanely expensive health benefits that do absolutely nothing. - company paid trip to Mexico for top performers so you can drink and vacation with your coworkers or as directors call them your "friends" (many HR violations happen on this trip and people will get fired and sent home early, I've seen it happen every year I've been)
