Pros

The only pros about this job are SOME of the people. I met some of my best friends here. At this time, none of us are with the company anymore

Cons

Where to start- I had a VP tell me that if I don't have children, there's no reason for me to not be online until 8-9pm everyday. They thrive on the grind mentality. There is no work life balance. You are expected to give your cell phone number out to clients, take them to dinner and HH and give your evenings away. They claim they are fully remote but there is immense pressure to be in the office, in client's offices, and out on the road. KPIs are tracked religiously but if you have tenure you have a lot of leeway on what you can do. New hires- run the other way. I was with the company for almost 2 years. They swore up and down I would make so much money after 6-8 months and that was not the case at all. Starting salary range for this role is 50k-60k so if you can live on that a year in a major metropolitan area then maybe this is the job for you.The only good thing is the network this job helps you get from employees who leave (there is an incredibly high turnover rate) and from clients who you make relationships with. The toxic environment is also deepened with the "staffing isnt for everyone" mentality. When someone leaves, thats all they will tell you. Making it seem like they wouldnt handle this environment but in reality it is a toxic work environment and culture. If someone is fired, they are vague and try to do damage control. Good luck.

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.
