Pros

Lovely group of people to work with, very high energy and positivity among them. Many great clients, and got exposure to consulting with job seekers from many different backgrounds and industries. I loved being able to be a resource for people who were going through the ups and downs after a reorg or layoff. It was a great opportunity to build my skills before going solo with my own business.

Cons

Found it very difficult to keep track of where all of my clients were in the process due to inadequate systems. The hours you get are based on the number of clients you have, so the hours are not consistent and I never had more than about 12 hours per week. However, I know I worked more than the allotted hours each week because there are things you're expected to do that you don't get paid for, such as reading company emails, staying on top of company news, spending time on group chat, etc. Pay was much lower than I could make on my own.

Pros

The team was one of the strongest aspects of the organization, with many supportive and hardworking colleagues. PTO and time-off benefits were competitive, including occasional early-release days and additional time-off opportunities throughout the year.

Cons

The company culture has significantly declined in recent years, leading to lower employee morale and engagement. Micromanagement became increasingly common, while transparency and trust diminished. Although remote work was heavily promoted, there has been a shift toward a hybrid/in-office model. Office conditions often created challenges, including recurring maintenance issues and an open floor plan that made it difficult to focus and conduct private conversations or meetings. Compensation has not remained competitive with market expectations, making it increasingly difficult for employees to achieve strong earnings. Comparable staffing firms in the industry often offer higher compensation while providing similar benefits and time-off programs. As a result, retaining experienced recruiters and top performers has become increasingly challenging. Work-life balance also suffered due to the pressure of meeting KPIs and performance metrics, often requiring work outside of normal business hours to remain competitive and meet expectations. Employee engagement initiatives and team-building activities that once contributed to a positive environment have largely disappeared. There has also been noticeable turnover among tenured employees and top performers, raising concerns about retention and overall organizational direction.
