Pros

Reward top earners after a few years, you get perks such as one annual trip to Cancun / Miami and bonuses.

Cons

Your opinion is not really valid until you've been there a few years - Expenses - they get funny with you if you put all your expenses through Face-timing culture - you arrive around 7.30/7.40am at the latest, you dont leave until 6.30/7/7.30pm depending on your desk Low pay - base salary is below the industry standard so, expect to earn less than 30k in year 1 and around 30k-50k in year 2 year, year 3 is more ambiguous but around 50k-70k if you´re good enough. Other recruitment companies pay more.

Pros

Quick progression, I have just hired someone to work for me after 14 months in the job. Management support the juniors in learning the market and understanding the wonderful world of recruitment.

Cons

Some people join and think they will make money by just turning up, the millennial bug seems to have caught the recent graduates as they think that working 8-6 is hard and that 100k a year will happen automatically now they are in recruitment. The people who have left in recent months, 2 or 3 Recruiters & Support Consultants were essentially lazy or thought they could do the job without any advice or help - they will not be successful in anything, let alone recruitment.

Pros

There is opportunity here. Listen to the old heads of AC (if they're still about) and you'll tap into some wisdom that made AC the dominant force that it is today. Work hard, work smart, apply yourself and you'll make money. If you don't work in Sales take what you can get from the experience and decide what your next career move will be. Having Aston Carter on your CV is basically enough to give you the keys to the City.

Cons

The size of the organisation has impacted its agility a little bit but the right decisions are made eventually. There will be gripes about pay/benefits and career progression is usually a slow burner but it's what you make of it.
