CFS reviews about "training"

management is completely unprofessional. micromanage, micromanage, micromanage. they do not care about their employees unless said employees are bringing in tons of business. bringing in business but not up to their unrealistic standards? good luck. im only still here cause I need the money

CFS will hold your hand when you start. I have read other reviews about micro managing. I didn't experience that. However, I appreciated the hand holding until I knew what I was doing.

You can be held back by the limits you set on yourself.

Hard work but what job isn't.

San Antonio is a small office that is VERY tight knit with total lack of communication to be successful team. Very individualized atmosphere with absolutely no team camaraderie. No branch or individual direction, no real training and severely complacent. On the executive side, the one and only gal has been there for several years. Even when she is training new hires, she is hardly there and comes and goes as she pleases with no communication to the new person. Unless it happens to be a few days before a VP comes in, that will be the only time you will know of anything she may be working on, and who knows if that info is even true. There have been several hires under her that "have not worked out" (she will even tell you this in your initial interview) and she still remains the managing director of executive recruiting. She is absolutely an in-office issue for anyone on the executive team looking to be successful. She hides given information from the team for her own success. Work here if you are okay with being complacent, having no organization, no new business development and research strategy, and not ever knowing what is going on with total lack of communication with your direct report. If you want to be a successful executive recruiter look somewhere else. This branch is not looking to communicate, expand, grow or attempt to create a footprint in San Antonio. You will just be the next hire "that didn't work out."

Recruiting is a tough job no matter what company you're with. It's sales so you have to get comfortable with rejection. CFS is a more boutique firm so the pipeline isn't super large compared to other agencies, but we build real relationships with our clients and work with quality companies for fill really great opportunities.
