Pros

- Recruiters very much support one another - For the CLT office, great personal environment - A lot of people to connect with. - Good teams for support (not managers) - Recently started making efforts to create a more inclusive environment.

Cons

- Terrible HR, don't expect support from HR if you are having an issue - Cares more about making the most calls instead of placing quality candidates. Little to no leeway with KPIs, you can have over double the attempted calls or submit the most people in a week but it doesn't matter if you don't hit your (arbitrary) KPIs. - HORRIBLE PAY, for training and full time. Cannot realistically afford area you are living in - No accountability for managers, they can have teams complain about them and nothing happens. - Terrible work-life balance, especially during training. Expect to work minimum 10+ hours and work through lunch. I knew people who had their manager require them to get there 30+ minutes early with no OT. - They do not support mental health - A LOT of tension between teams & upper management. Creating terrible morale. - Most people get exp. for a year or two and then leave for better jobs. - Expect HEAVY favoritism to be played with who gets treated well/promoted. - Jobs regularly get washed/cancelled, making it EXTREMELY hard to build spread and creating a lot of bad feelings with candidates. - Commission is just plain bad. - Do not expect support from HR or upper management

Pros

Aston Carter provided excellent opportunities for professional growth, career progression, and leadership development. I had the opportunity to work with some of the largest healthcare and insurance clients in the country, build strong client relationships, and lead high-performing teams. The company offers strong training, a collaborative culture, and a performance-driven environment where hard work is recognized and rewarded. I was fortunate to work alongside talented colleagues and supportive leaders who helped me grow both personally and professionally.

Cons

Like many staffing and recruiting organizations, the environment can be fast-paced and demanding, with a strong focus on metrics and performance goals. Work-life balance can be challenging during peak periods, and processes can sometimes vary between offices or leadership teams. However, these challenges also create opportunities for growth and development.
