Pros

Decent compensation structure, better than some smaller recruitment firms. Ability to walk into a book of business left behind by many AE's that have cultivated business before you. Best, albeit, most hard core sales training in the industry.

Cons

You are only as good as last week's numbers. If your numbers are low, you're a target and you feel it. When you make a great placement or have a high return week you get very little kudos followed by a whipping to get more business (under appreciated and over worked). Almost no work/life balance. The climate there makes turns good people into vultures. Ever seen the movie, Boiler Room?

Great in finding contracts for contract workers. They got me a remote job that allowed me to work from my home in the Midwest for a job in California.

Cons

Can be hard to reach at times.

Pros

Hybrid, Good benefits/PTO, offered “competitions” for gift cards, cares about employees

Cons

As a recruiting manager, I felt that the pay structure was interesting with the base pay being a “draw” - meaning that you base salary is essentially commission paid to you in advance. So if you have some slow months, it rolls over and works yourself into a hole. I think it would be a better structure if it reset every month.
