Pros

- Friendly environment - Cool to be working in the City.

Cons

- Ridiculous hours (especially if you have a long commute) 8am-6pm, Mon to Fri. - Stupid quotas have to be met, like 15 skype interviews a week. - Calling candidates when there isn't even a position we are trying to fill. - Lying to candidates just to get them to do the skype interview so you can meet your quota. - People NEVER bonus, I sat next to someone who had been there for 3 years and still did not bonus. - People got fired practically every day, this creates a very stressful environment for employees. - The turnover rate is crazy. - Pay is not competitive with other recruiting companies. - Success rate is extremely small.

Great in finding contracts for contract workers. They got me a remote job that allowed me to work from my home in the Midwest for a job in California.

Can be hard to reach at times.

Pros

Hybrid, Good benefits/PTO, offered “competitions” for gift cards, cares about employees

Cons

As a recruiting manager, I felt that the pay structure was interesting with the base pay being a “draw” - meaning that you base salary is essentially commission paid to you in advance. So if you have some slow months, it rolls over and works yourself into a hole. I think it would be a better structure if it reset every month.
