Pros

- very robust database of candidates and clients - excellent training program for newcomers to the staffing industry - in general, co workers tend to be friendly and outgoing (depends on who your boss is and who is on your team) - a very structured environment providing a setup for success (as far as level of activity)

Cons

- extremely high internal turnover (anywhere from 70-100% a year) - management has more of a sales focus, so you cant exactly take their word for anything. they will tell you what they need to tell you in order to keep you productive (no matter how false it is) - bonus and commission structures are much better at most every other firm

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.
