Pros

If you want to learn how to be deceitful join here.

Cons

Culture is toxic - constant voice notes sent around instead of training. Lack of proper on boarding - given an out of date list but 'every call is an opportunity' Lack of middle if any management, Everyone needs to bill so no one to learn from. Poor commission structure - not competitive despite what they tell you. the overall environment is not conducive to long-term success Sell you the dream but in reality they’re just the same as any other recruitment. Focusing on sales metrics quantity rather than checking the quality. I felt chained to the desk in a 1980's style recruitment firm who pay poorly and speak poorly of people when they leave. Unprofessional environment, wouldn't wish it on my worst nightmare. Directors infighting, very toxic.

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.
