Pros

Hard work pays off Flexibility Mostly great coworkers

Cons

Leadership over the Houston perm team regularly belittles staff, demonstrates favoritism that doesn't appear to be based on production or commitment, is regularly judging us on metrics like outbound call volume rather than results, demoralizes staff to the point where really good recruiters have left the company, and more. Nobody in management at the branch level will say anything because they don't want to risk their jobs and Houston's perm team leadership is clear about not breaking a chain of command because they don't want the secret out - that they are causing this team to derail.

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.
