Pros

Able to wrap up the day and not have to take additional work home with you

Cons

Understaffed in the branch leaving the recruiter to act as both a receptionist and a recruiter at the same time. This leaves almost no time to take a much needed break in what ends up being over a 9 hour work day. As a salaried employee there is no overtime and the pay is extremely low for the work load and the expectations of corporate. The branch manager did very little to provide even part time support to assist with answering phones and assisting potential hires with paperwork or questions about the computer system. The local area managers should be more in touch with the needs of specific branches in order for them to be successful and meet the goals set for each recruiter.

Pros

They are flexible on schedule

Cons

Do not work here. Terrible training, other recruiter wouldn’t share anything and I had no clue what I was doing 90% of the time. Since I had experience it seemed as if they felt like they didn’t have to show me anything and that I would just suddenly know how their company worked. Had no idea who to ask what questions since we didn’t have a branch manager. Didn’t get access to my HR dashboard till a month into the job. IT is impossible to get ahold of, you’re just in loops with a chat bot. “Office space” is in a strip mall, and most likely has mold. There was an in office temp that helped as a receptionist and they treated her terribly, even arguing/yelling at her in front of me and others.
