Pros

Nice offices, some very good recruiters, good work nights out.

Cons

Terrible communication with management, who look down on recruiters. Too many recruiters squeezed into verticals, especially in IT. e.g. 3 recruiters for .Net, 3 recruiters for QA etc Terrible training programme - put on desk and expected to bill from the start even if you have no recruitment experience. No support from managers, only more pressure. Too KPI focused - recruiters are programmed and not being consultants. Bad scope for progression. Huge staff turnover
