Pros

When the market is doing well the compensation is excellent and the morale is high. Great training opportunities and depending on your branch there is room for advancement to get intto management.

Cons

There is absolutely no work/life balance. Staffing Managers and particulary Division Directors need to work from 7:30am-6:00pm at a minimum. The recipe to obtain business is outdated. The numerous phone calls to current clients and potential clients can be extremely bothersome and actually ends up losing business for the company. The commission structure is targeted to only compensate the outstanding performers. If you are not billing at least 750 hours a week in hours you will not be making a commission.

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
