Pros

- Great place to get started if you plan on making a career out of sales or recruiting - There is only about a handful of really good people

Cons

- Inconsistencies with best practices - If you’re having one bad week, leadership will make you feel like you can be replaced by hiring someone else - Employees here are treated like a number and not a person - The company invests a lot more time in developing their Sales team, and could care less about their Recruiters - Training for Recruiters is to watch a ton of video modules for 3-4 days (the transfer of learning from the modules to the actual work is slim). - Then they’d expect you to make high level calls with professionals with little direction - No room for growth professionally (you’ll be performing the same tasks for your entire work duration unless you obtain the title of a Market Manager & up) - Leadership pipelining and succession planning is nonexistent. Some who are promoted to direct a team have no idea what they’re doing

Pros

Decent salary base, probably could be a really good paying job if the job market was better

Cons

Definitely a typical, corporate sales culture where you are defined by your metrics and your metrics only. They are money grabbers, and their commission structure isn't that great. After 2 years you lose 50% of your commission from contractors and they eliminated early release days before holidays. My office started becoming a "bro culture" and the leader was clearly trying to act like "one of the guys" with the males in the office. If your market is slow with reqs, they expect you to reach out to other offices for subs which is hard to do when other offices favor their own teams' recruiters. They'll likely give you a picked over req or one not close to the money that their own team didn't want to work on. I had to reach out to other offices daily to basically beg for a req to work on to hit my metrics. To add to it, the PTO structure for salaried employees is not how they described it when I joined. 17 PTO days total (including sick/personal time btw) and it is actually accrued throughout the year. I had to use PTO for sick time and a vacation, so when I left I had to write them a check for my balance! Talk about a way to really give someone the boot when they're on their way out the door.
