Pros

Met some cool people there and we got free breakfast occasionally

Cons

It was like you were a prisoner working for this company You are micromanaged at extreme levels! You are expected to be on the phone all day and if you go out to get fresh air for 5 minutes you are questioned about it. When i went quickly to get a drink from the vending machine i was questioned, and we were even told to let the manager know when we were going to the bathroom. You have to make 100 phone conversations and 100 voicemails left per week, on top of that you have to bring in at least 10 people to meet you in the office a week. If you dont meet these numbers you will at the least have to meet with your manager . (I did meet these insane numbers but it left me no time to find talented people to help get jobs. You are reduced to dialing as many people as you can and the first ones you can get on the phone, regardless of talent. The focus is on quantity over quality, rather than helping people find jobs they just want to put as many people into their Bullhorn system as possible. With the churn rate they have that is all they care about is notes for future employees. Because they know that the turnover rate is on average 3-6 months per employee.

Pros

You can make great friends because everyone is young and miserable. Learn on your own or die.

Cons

It's an agency. They'll promise you the world and deliver a stale donut. The HireStrategy part of the company is sort of better, but ultimately the higher ups just put a lot of unrealistic expectations on folks and get rich in the process, while the young people who are actually doing the work are treated like crud. They'll get your base salary as low as possible and then squeeze you dry beyond that, while always promising more - that you'll "pop" one day and your desk will be amazing. Sure, you can get what you put into it. But you have to put in a LOT and treat people like dirt in the process.
