Pros

Great company culture. You work primarily under the Director of Research but are also mentored by senior colleagues. You learn about different companies' structures, how to call into those companies and identify potential candidates, and you become very proficient at using LinkedIn.

Cons

There is room for growth at this position and company, but it may take you longer to achieve that than if you started at a boutique recruiting firm.

Pros

Remote Work, Schedule Flexibility, PTO.

Cons

Communication is lacking -- direct managers don't have any information or insight into business changes, business functions outside of their own, or the pay/bonus information for their team. Pay & Benefits -- benefits have gone up significantly but we haven't had raises in at least 4 years and bonuses are unclear and inconsistent. No Growth Opportunities -- very little opportunity to progress your career. Long hours -- depending on what team you are aligned with, you may work an 8 hour day or you may work a 12+ hour day and when you are over capacity there is no help coming.
