Pros

You can bill under £20k a year and not get fired as the place is so terrible they simply can't recruit any talent. Sometimes you see a helicopter out of the window.

Cons

-Management knows nothing about recruitment. Quite a disturbing sexual harassment case involving senior members of staff happened in December 2013 and they are still there. -Payroll offers no support and gets upset at the noisy nature of the sales floor. -Sales floor is like walking among tombstones. -0 talent coming in. you'd think a recruitment company would understand what makes a company great and how to, you know, actually recruit. They don't. -Growing a company through acquisitions leads to constant power struggles. -No regular staff events and if there are, they don't pay for drinks or anything. They'll leave you to get a cab home from the middle of nowhere or you could go back with the director... -Have overheard Senior Management making racist jokes in the toilet. -Everything you ask support to do is a chore and "not their job". -Salaries are very low and the commission scheme is broken. You stop earning commission on a contractor after they have done 12 weeks leaving Experis with the lions share of all of your juicy contracts. -You have to work on low return on investment jobs to keep the old boys clubs biscuits in stock. You will work on roles between 15-18k on 6% basis and are expected to hit your target. I guess this is why no one cares. -Freezing cold offices and the cheapest free coffee and tea going. -Open plan like a prison. All of the work force is on one large floor whilst the 'managers' watch from their cosy offices decorated with their private school certificates. -Meeting rooms unavailable last minute as the non billing staff loves to waffle. In a nutshell, don't join. Read this and move on or join and remember, I told you so.

Pros

Flexibility, work-life balance, decent commission structure

Cons

Senior leadership came in and completely changed the company culture. So many great people left because of micromanagement at the highest level.
