Pros

Nice coworkers Decent pay Good benefits You get a laptop

Cons

Long hours Very little support Minimal Training Working off the clock and on weekends I came in as a brand new recruiter with a sales background. When I interviewed with them they told me that I would receive continuous training and they will not give up on me until I fully grasp the job. They kept telling me that this would be a marriage and not a date because they truly care about each person they bring on to the team. I struggled in the position and while they tried to help me with scripts and suggested methods, I never really felt like I had a chance to learn how to properly do the job. After a few weeks I could see the team slowly giving up on me and I felt isolated at my desk. With less than 30 days on the job I was released without warning. If you are interested in recruiting and would like to try out the industry I would not recommend working for this company as your first. If you don't get it quickly you will be let go at the drop of a dime.

Pros

CFS and Kelly Miller are the best! Kelly is the best "match-maker", always responsive, and truly cares about her clients and candidates. Kelly spends a crazy amount of time getting to know the client and all her candidates. She doesn't just "plug" a person into a job; she matches the skills, work-styles, and personalities. I have been expertly matched to two long-term assignments that were a perfect match of her client's needs and my skills. I can honestly say that those two assignments have been the BEST work experiences in my career; the second assignment turned into a permanent placement with a fabulous company. Win, win, win! As the saying goes "your mileage may vary"; the job market and economy may not always support your individual needs, and that is not the fault of the recruiter. The recruiter is not a magician, they are a partner in your job search. In my experience, be the hardest-working party in your job search. Polish your resume, polish your shoes, iron your shirt, bring your "A" game and present yourself in the best light; the next great opportunity might be just around the corner. If there is an opportunity that matches you, Kelly will find it. I highly recommend CFS and Kelly Miller.
