Pros

Have had the opportunity to work with some excellent managers and a high performing team. Good training program. Excellent company to round of business to business skills. Proven consultants have the opportunity to develop their desk how they see fit. Good energy in the teams. Good incentives and benefits.

Cons

Commission scheme geared towards individual performance rather than team performance which can lead to wasted energy involving internal conflicts.

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.
