Pros

- Great entry level job opportunity to get into the world of recruiting sales and/or HR - Unlimited earning potential through base salary and commission that increases based on the amount of contractors you have - Great PTO policy - Flexibility with hours and remote work

Cons

- Terrible work life balance as you work 9-10 hour days and they expect you to work even after normal work hours and on the weekends - No real guided training to start as they have you do some online courses and then throw you on the phones - No real help from other recruiter as you are technically competition against each other - $16/hr to start for the first 3 months - Blatant favoritism of certain employees - High school clique mentality - Abusive management - Refusal to address outside factors like the economy in an employee's performance - Inconsistently enforcing their work from home policy - Borderline retaliatory actions and verbal abuse for actually using PTO and flexibility - Constant threats of firing you if they deem you below your expected growth line - Restricted growth opportunities as the only way to move up is to go into sales as an account manager

Pros

Flexible schedule Text based communication Remote Quick hiring process

Cons

Higher than minimum wage but still sort of low pay. Must ask for PTO available instead of being able to view it freely.

Pros

Hours and the work location

Cons

No communication. Lack of follow. Onboarding was left to contract and THAT was a mess.
