Pros

Zero. Can't even name one.

Cons

I can't even list them all - terrible work life balance, MISERABLE work environment, unbelievably bad management (abunch of people that do not know how to manage and should NEVER been placed in a management role), awful compensation and they will tell you you can make so much money in commission but you CANNOT and WILL NOT as a recruiter, they treat recruiters like slave robots (you will never be treated as a human or valued in ANY way), zero training or coaching to help you get better in your role, impossible and ridiculous metrics that do not equal deals or commission earned. They tell you everyday how you are not good enough, micromanage you until you nearly want to kill yourself, and none of it is worth the amount of satisfaction or money you get out of the job.

Pros

Contracts your work to reliable clients and supports your efforts while under contract.

Cons

Automated job alerts can be too broad - based on one or two keywords in resume. At times job alerts are for positions that do not meet your qualifications or experience. But, this is not a dealbreaker. Keep on top of adjusting search parameters or type of work you seek.
