Pros

1 star because the base pay is okay - $40,000 but that is generally the only positive about the role. Jonas (the CEO) is nice and friendly but this department is not treated like the rest of Experis (Manpower) and I am not even sure he understands the working conditions. For example, for Memorial day 99% of department left at 3pm but Core was not allowed to leave until 4:15pm.

Cons

As the Director openly stated they look for "poor, hungry people" so they can lock them in knowing that they will struggle to find a job elsewhere. Most of the people coming on are college students who are unable to find a job elsewhere with the degree they studied for. You see college students with marketing, psychology degrees pretending that they are really happy to land this job There is an Us vs Them mentality from management and they treat the new recruiters like kids. A few people will have been 'promoted' to team leads even though they have shown no aptitude to lead. A few of the people who have left have noted that they did not receive outstanding commission due. You get paid 30days after the placement starts - another measure intended to keep people to stay. My advice is please do not get caught up in this trap. They entice you with the base salary and then expect to own every single area of your life. The recruiting industry as a whole is despised, once you stay for more than a while your career options will be extremely limited. If you do need a job and are desperate, I would recommend going with another recruiting company where the staff aren't quitting by the dozens every month. There are so many more things which I could pinpoint but I don't want to exhaust anymore effort with this company (I will be leaving very soon)
