Pros

-Great Culture -Co-workers are close -lots of free food and happy hours (especially during training) -opportunity to grow fast and make serious money down the road -great for single recent graduates with little to no other responsibilities

Cons

-unclear and/or ever-changing expectations -employees Have apparently exclusive cliques -very young managers leading very young employees leads to disfunction often -very political with obvious favoritism -they care more about sales than people (which is opposite of their "slogan") -while they say this job is not a 9-5, most managers work less while recruiters are expected to work 60+ hours a week realistically to be "successful" -most staff (managers and recruiters) are extremely judgemental -mixed signals are evident -over 50% of employees hired in my time left the company or were terminated

Pros

• Great peers who make the workday enjoyable • Leadership has been investing in change, including a new CEO bringing fresh direction • High performers are given flexibility and trust • Exposure to federal contracting and IT staffing, which builds unique industry knowledge • Opportunity to make strong money if you’re willing to grind Additional Context for Job Seekers A lot of negative reviews you’ll see here are from consultants or project-side employees, and those experiences don’t always reflect what it’s like to be in sales or recruiting. If you’re interviewing for an Associate Account Manager, Account Manager, or Recruiting role, read those reviews with caution. This is sales. It’s hard, it’s metrics-driven, and it’s not for everyone. But if you’re motivated, competitive, and want to learn how staffing works, you can do well here.

Cons

• Like most sales orgs, if you’re not producing you’ll feel the pressure • Constant monitoring of numbers can be draining • Staffing is a tough industry, and AI is making it even tougher. Not every hiring manager values what you bring • Frequent change in direction creates uncertainty at times
