Pros

Able to build your own client base. Good amount of vacation time. Competitive bonus structure. Good 401k and health benefits.

Cons

I am not really sure where to start. The job security is awful. The fired one of my colleagues out of the blue one day after months of telling her how great she was doing. In addition they do not really help you to build leads or determine business strategies. They track your "connects" which is based on the number of clients who answer the phone. You will literally dial over 100 people a day and at times feel robotic. Perhaps the worst thing about this company is the leaders and management. The leaders in my branch were incredibly unprofessional. They would arrive late and leave early. They would gossip about the staffing managers via company email and would constantly snap about small questions. At times management has called other staffing managers "retarted" for not following guidelines properly. It was a truly toxic environment and I left just a few months in. What was worse was that when one of my colleagues presented her discomfort with branch leaders to higher management it was dismissed as that she was unappreciative for what great leaders they were. It actually seems unreal that I actually worked for a company that treated people like this.

Pros

Very flexible work that can be done from anywhere. Would give half a star if possible.

Cons

You have the worst comp plan out of any other big recruiting company. Upper management promotes hostile work environments by discussing firing people and taking commissions from those that they are supposed to be training, this is in front of everyone in the bull pin. I have also been retaliated against when trying to give feedback, they won’t help and will try and get you to quit if you give any negative feedback. The sales team has gone from 10 people to less than 5 in less than 2 years and they are letting people train and hire that are later demoted months later. I would stay far away from here and would only use this job as a stepping stone much better opportunity is elsewhere. Never work for Garry or Zach.
