Pros

remote capability is by far the best pro. i love being able to control my desk and set my own schedule. majority of colleagues are awesome, except the overly competitive type-a personalities that you run into from time to time. those types are usually the ones who are celebrated most, though. lots of training to help you get up to speed. if you are driven by sales and excel in high stress environments, this is a great place for you. to a certain extent, it's also a great place to learn recruitment because you will learn how to pivot quickly and re-prioritize projects.

Cons

the market has slowed and upper management seems to think that the only way to deal is by micromanaging employees. they are out of touch. it's hard to have work-life balance if you are expected to hit KPIs that aren't realistic. half of the job is sales so at the end of the day, I get it, but I don't think having more meetings will make it better. the training mentioned about is hit or miss depending on who is providing the training. not sure if the training leaders have enough time or knowledge to provide the trainings. tech issues are commonplace. it's embarrassing. for a company that claims to celebrate diversity, just take a look at the executive boards, and you can see its all talk. but thats pretty common in large companies. when you quit, you are pretty much let go day of. and you don't get paid out in PTO.

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.
