Pros

Lovely place to work, I can talk to 98% of the company about anything and everything - which is great for office-wide banter and the overall atmosphere of the place. They train everyone with the same tools so it is up to you how well you do and if you're working hard and actually trying you can do well. They are always supportive for any questions or problems you might have. Which is handy if you're brand new to recruitment and unsure of what it is you're actually meant to be doing. Long-Term viewing: great place to grow a career, they want you to stay and become successful. If you are thinking about recruitment this company is the best of the best. It promotes working with as opposed to against your colleagues and follows through with it's calibre of employee. This doesn't necessarily mean you like every single person in the office but if you like 9/10 people you work with, that's a good place to be!

Cons

Long hours - 8:30 to 6pm which can be gruelling some days but when you actually like the workplace it feels a lot shorter! Fast-Paced- you will be busy. This is not a job where you can pass the day playing solitaire on your computer or having 30 minute 'tea breaks', you will constantly be emailing or on the phone while running to a meeting but the variety of everyday will really make you end every day feeling accomplished.

Pros

The company does value work life balance however with the recent merger the team structure changed and the management team really needs to add structure to make it more cohesive however they only care about meeting numbers

Cons

Management does not care in performance of employees unless they are not meeting numbers

Pros

-Great if you are building your skillset in the recruitment space -Very large clients to work with if you want that experience

Cons

-Did not have bonus for 1 year and almost did not for the year after only reason as to why we did it was due to layoffs -Lots of management changes throughout my time there, and it is all moving to helicopter managers who do not know how to give constructive feedback - Had the largest workload ever, very similar to agency space but not agency pay - Commission is paid quarterly instead of monthly if you are in a recruiting space -Recruiters will make more overall than the Recruitment Partners
