Pros

Great training and this job really prepares you to be a very successful recruiter. You also make great friends here

Cons

Culture- Mondo is work hard play hard company that will eat you alive. Your worth is 100% performance based and you will be expected to work late hours to get candidates for whatever position is closing the soonest. This could mean weekend work or recruiting all hours of the night. This is a no excuses culture where you deliver or you will be scolded for it. No in between. Mondo is also a cult by definition. People worship the "fearless leader" by kissing her feet and admiring her every move. You will not move up in the company if you are not in close with the "fearless leader" Commission plan- This is the worst commission plan I have ever seen in the business. Unless you get the candidate to a very low pay rate, you most likely will be receiving 0 commission. Yes you heard that right. Most deals are "tier 2 or tier 3" which means commission is docked based on having insane margins to try and hit to make any money. Also, most deals are at the T2 or T3 margin where nobody besides Mondo makes any money. You have to bring in at least $1 million in revenue to even sniff 100k in total comp. Micromanagement- Mondo takes micromanagement to a whole new level. When you finish your morning meeting at 9am, you will be pinged literally every 30 minutes asking where the candidates are. You will spend more time defending yourself for not delivering than actually having any time to do your job and find candidates. Back to the no excuses mentality...when you dont have candidates by 10am, your manager will just tell you to work harder or get gritty. They provide no other help or strategy other than scare tactics. You will also have some sort of manager or lead on basically every single call you have with candidates or clients. My favorite part of the job is when you literally have to hardball all candidates into accepting an offer the same day and if not, be ready for an anxiety filled night, afternoon or weekend. You will be forced to find a "replacement" who can accept the same day and it is your job to make it happen. If not then you let the whole team down. Work/life balance- This is staffing so we all know this is not a standard 40 hour work week. Mondo takes it to a whole new level. Like I said above, you will be forced to work long hours and usually for no benefit since there wont be commission attached to the deal. You will also be stressed out every single day and find less joy in life knowing 1 little thing can cause mgmt to berate you for even the slightest candidate issue Benefits- If you have a child or spouse that needs covered, have fun paying a boatload of money for very minimal coverage

Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

I decided I’m sick of seeing the fake 5 star reviews. This place will tear you down, expect unrealistic metrics that don’t translate to anything, and it was an insanely toxic environment. I would not recommend working here to my worst enemy. I get why companies and hiring managers don’t work with them ever again. If you think of applying look at turnover and the amount they hire across all offices. Went to other staffing companies and realized how insane they operate it’s almost comical
