Fun Culture, Great Opportunity, Low pay

Pros

Brooksource was my first job out of college and at first it seemed like I got my dream job at first. They truly do invest a lot of training and "perks" into working there. The management is fun and has lots of one on ones with you and everyone in the office is so willing to help. There are insane promotion parties, great training/learning opportunity, and the office culture is chaotic but fun.

Cons

The starting salary of a recruiter at brooksource is too low to live on. It takes about 3-6 months before you can start making commissions but even if you close deals at a rapid rate it isnt a lot of money until you build up a decent list of contractors which takes 6 months to a year. I ended up leaving because i couldnt afford to live on the change they give you. You will survive if you can get help from your parents the entire first year you work here before any real money comes along.
