Pros

Able to progress your career and basic salary faster than all the MNC. Able to achieve financial goals faster. Commission is monthly basis, other recruitment companies could be in quarterly basis or group comm basis, which is unfair for the hardworking staff.

Cons

High performing (kpi) and fast paced environment, if you can’t cope you’ll feel defeated. Emotional roller coaster at work, but that’s bearable when you receive your pay. Senior management lacking maturity and direction, tend to be micromanage, like to drive change management (which happened too frequently and short timeline for the change), but you just need to be patient, filter all the random thoughts and bring result.

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.
