Pros

They get you a job quicker than regular companies.

Cons

Not always a temp to hire job, a lot of times there's no jobs. It feels like they work on commission. If I call back and try to talk to another agent, they won't help you with a job.

Pros

-Fun people and small business environment. -They teach their recruiters and sales people a good foundation of skills to be successful. -They take chances on college grads who don't have previous corporate experience. -You can slack during lunch while your managers take 2-3 hours to make personal calls, eat with other upper management, or work out at the gym. -Good work life balance, you won't be asked to come in on weekends or work later than 6pm. -Company isn't going anywhere, they are financially stable.

Cons

-The salary is a joke, lower than every other Administrative-based staffing agency (think Aerotek, Prostaff, Masterson). The offer a whopping $12-14 to start out of college, then increase you to $15 once you are 'hired on'. -We are expected to work like crazy for commissions around $200 per quarter! -They hire the recruiters based on PI's -not from recommendations or actual experience, thus you get stuck with a bunch of aggressive, snarky people in one room. These people will gossip about everything under the sun, they will exploit every personal detail you tell them to the entire company. I have listened to hundreds of personal stories about others while working here, it doesn't matter if you work in the same office or across the metro the whole lower half of the company knows what you do on the weekends and who you are dating, etc. -They also promote people based on time with company, NOT based on talent or worthiness to the company. Its a "put in your time/pay your dues" company and that amount is years and years before you start to see any of your worth pay off. -The turnover rate is mediocre, people aren't in/out in under a year, its more like 2-3 years but when you look at the fact that some people make a career being a recruiter (at much larger corporations) the turnover rate looks high here.
