Pros

Nice people - made genuine friends

Cons

1. Senior Management are solely focussed on credits and revenue. 2. The work is incredibly boring - you will learn everything you need to know within the first four weeks then you will be doing that until you become manager 3. Targets are unachievable on some teams - your fate is decided for you as you have no say which team you end up in and some perform far better than others. 4. Work hours are awful considering the simplicity of the job 5. You are made to feel terrible about things that are completely out of your control. 6. This job does not set you up with any skills that will help you in later life - all you do is sit on Linked In for 11 hours a day. 7. Do not get sucked in by the salary ! Explore other options and pick something that will provide you with some proper skills. Surprised there are not more negative reviews - can think of over 15 people who have left on very very bad terms.

Pros

Strong culture, great opportunity right out of college, was able to take on a management role early in my career which was a unique and rewarding experience

Cons

Not for those who don't do well with client service and/or roles where performance and pay are highly metric based

Pros

Rapid Progression & Recognition: Performance is directly rewarded here. If you hit your goals and show drive, the path to promotion and career growth is transparent and fast. Strong Team Culture: The team energy is fantastic. Everyone is highly collaborative, supportive, and commercially minded, which makes for a great working environment. High Autonomy: From day one, you are given real ownership over your projects (like leading recruitment events, managing candidates, and driving partnerships), allowing you to grow your commercial skills rapidly.

Cons

High Velocity & Pressure: The work is very fast-paced with strict timelines and high-volume expectations. It is not a place where you can coast, and you need to be comfortable working under commercial pressure. Resilience is Key: Sourcing and recruiting require a great deal of resilience. You have to be comfortable with rejection and persistent in finding creative solutions to hit your targets.
