Pros

KPI's and targets clear from the get-go. Clear idea of how to get promoted and what to do in order to get there. There are lots of opportunities internally to go for if wanting a change too.

Cons

Can feel quite overwhelming, does take a lot of organisation and self-motivation to do this job when the market slows down

Pros

Great place for new recruiters to gain experience. A lot to learn. Younger crowd, fun teams.

Cons

Competitive, people that weren't succeeding would be put on PIPs and eventually let go. Can be some micro-managing. Not all managers created equal - some great, some not so great.
