Pros

-Great to start your career in staffing -Decent training -Young group of workers -Managers that I reported to were great.

Cons

-Almost no opportunity for growth -Bonus was near impossible to achieve and was capped at $500 -No commission while most staffing firms offer a much more enticing compensation structure -C level Employees are a joke especially the CEO who was handed the company from his daddy - The company’s whole structure relies on finding kids new to the professional workforce and paying them an “ok” salary. Then they expect you to work overtime while not making more than your 40,000 salary -This company undervalues top performers -The only people that stay at the company 2+ years are ones that get comfortable or employees that are naive to the fact that they can make significantly more elsewhere -Resources for sourcing candidates was limited to their internal database since they did not want to pay for licenses for decent sourcing tools -KPIs are not set up to be team specific or role specific therefore many people were unable to hit them.

Pros

Decent salary base, probably could be a really good paying job if the job market was better

Cons

Definitely a typical, corporate sales culture where you are defined by your metrics and your metrics only. They are money grabbers, and their commission structure isn't that great. After 2 years you lose 50% of your commission from contractors and they eliminated early release days before holidays. My office started becoming a "bro culture" and the leader was clearly trying to act like "one of the guys" with the males in the office. If your market is slow with reqs, they expect you to reach out to other offices for subs which is hard to do when other offices favor their own teams' recruiters. They'll likely give you a picked over req or one not close to the money that their own team didn't want to work on. I had to reach out to other offices daily to basically beg for a req to work on to hit my metrics. To add to it, the PTO structure for salaried employees is not how they described it when I joined. 17 PTO days total (including sick/personal time btw) and it is actually accrued throughout the year. I had to use PTO for sick time and a vacation, so when I left I had to write them a check for my balance! Talk about a way to really give someone the boot when they're on their way out the door.
