Pros

The training program is amazing and the 10 hour days + the KPIs will set you up to be an amazing recruiter with another firm after about a year and a half. You will gain expert level knowledge of the work visa/immigration process. The team overall is great, I made lifelong friends through this position.

Cons

You work 10 hour days with very difficult KPIs and are extremely under-compensated for your efforts. You are not a true recruiter, you are a sourcer, who passes candidates on to other recruiters. You then compete with your manager for the attention of these recruiters (you will be ignored OFTEN). If you're the one person management picks each year to transition into a manager role, you continue to compete against your team while also taking on the responsibilities of a leading them. You are also expected to recruit more teammates/competition for yourself when people leave.

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.
