Pros

They provide good chances to develop. You are given resources, a mentor, and access to leads. You have to learn the business on your own. Be ready to hit the phones. Constant company lunches. They give you your own laptop.

Cons

You hit a career ceiling quickly. Turnover can be a problem. A person with 10 years experience will have the same problems someone with one month of experience will. Tough marketplace. Saturated market. Technology is constantly changing. Consultants aren't loyal and are often cynical. Monster/Careerbuilder should not be your end all be all to find candidates. Pressure to produce. 100% commission.

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.
