Pros

Great training, practically endless growth opportunities, work here for a little while and you can practically get a job anywhere - recruiters contact you several times a week with opportunities, vacation time accrues quickly, uncapped income potential for staff-level

Cons

Long hours that just get longer the higher up you go, company culture based solely around the idea of making more money than the person sitting next to you, poor execution of things taught in training, high high turnover (don't make friends - either you or they will quit or be fired within the first six months), you as an employee matter only as much as you contribute the the shareholders' bottom line, truly terribly technology, intolerant to employee innovation, some offices are dingy with no plans to change them, corporate hides behind "we give to charity" as a way out of doing nice things for employees both internal and on assignment, they're somewhat deceitful in the interview process about what life actually looks like once you're hired on, and leave out pretty important details, there's a really high level of arrogance about the company, as if you should feel honored that they chose you to work there

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.

Cons

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.
