Pros
Vacation days are very good. You get a high number of days off you can use, and it's all flex time. Some offices really look down on you taking your own time off, but that is one thing they can't take from you. They will hire new college grads, and the yearly salary is decent in this economy. However, it will not get much better as you work there. Upper management dangles quarterly bonuses in front of you like a carrot, and they are made nearly impossible to achieve. You will be expected to do everything. I feel like this can only make you better at your next job, which is a pro I guess.
Cons
Three Words: On Call Phone. Even when you leave the office after 10-12 hours of work every day, you are responsible to answer and log EVERY phone call that comes through to the office cell phone. Oftentimes these calls require additional work on the part of the recruiter during their evenings and weekends--for no additional compensation whatsoever. You will become completely burned out and your personal life can suffer, believe me. Hours spent in the office aren't much better. The recruiters are the workhorses and are expected to be responsible for every aspect of the office without actually running the office. Recruiters are expected to track down paperwork, handle billing issues, cold call for new business, staff cases immediately, process all paperwork, check and double check paperwork, answer phones on the first ring (and they ring CONSTANTLY), negotiate worker salary, and in your spare time hire new people. Just the hiring process should be its own position, but Maxim lumps this all together on their entry level employees. The stress level is astronomical. The feeling of drowning will come up early and often. Hopefully you will have an internal team willing to help you along, because any guidance from upper management is nonexistent. They do not allow you to leave the office to take a lunch break. You are expected to wolf down your lunch in 5 minutes at your desk while the phone rings. You pick up the phone with a mouth full of food and hope not to choke. Also, at any given moment, anyone can walk into the office and you have to stop your lunch and help them immediately. Great for indigestion. To top this all off, compliance is so strict that you can get in major trouble for simple oversights. Everyone in the office is overworked and the environment at times can be very toxic. You will see your co-workers WAY more than your family, friends, and loved ones. That is a guarantee.
