Pros

-Fantastic training and support from upper management (area manager, VP and president) they are very accessible and WANT to help! -Opportunity to grow and develop a book of business -Ability to book in person meetings with decision makers (CFOs, Accounting Managers, Controllers, HR) -ESOP program -Decent base salary

Cons

-Local management micromanages (asking where you're at on a task multiple times in the day) -Local management picks favorites and if you are not the favorite good luck with making a lot of commission (you do not control the whole sales process in this role) - Bad temporary candidates will sometimes get second chances at a second client after messing up and getting pulled from the first client (this doesn't help you get repeat business) -Nashville market is saturated with staffing agencies, so you're competing with 15-20 other staffing agencies for a client's business -Bill rates for temporary services are often higher than other firms (according to clients)

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.

Cons

No Cons, all experiences are positive.
