Pros

uncapped commission - however their training is so terrible its laughable

Cons

- if you are a colored person you are only a number to them to hit a quota, this company is the epitome of "working for the white man" environment that only BIPOC people will understand - you will work with people who are caddy and pretend that it is a welcoming environment but really it is not and they don't have any empathy skills - if you take time off for a religious holiday they will throw it in your face later and say "you take too much time off" even if it was ONE DAY, just to find a reason to push you out. - i was literally told i "didn't use "smiley faces or punctuation marks enough" and was called "rude" for not doing so -- it was literally insane - going off my previous point, it is an extremely sexist company. imagine saying the above comment to a MALE employee.. that would never happen. but since im a female replying back to a gchat saying "yes i am on it" is considered "rude" apparently and is taken in the wrong context because i didnt use a smiley face? INSANITY AND DELUSIONAL.

Pros

Good breadth of offerings in the staffing world and some boutique consulting services, although they have recently carved off some businesses and that is making them more niche again.

Cons

Constant turnover at the top levels. They have lost at least 2 CEOs (without any public notice) and there's been a lot of talent loss and role-shifting at the VP levels and above. They have radically changed comp plans within the Sales teams, and it's caused them to lose a lot of their A players. Cost-cutting seems to be the driver. Honestly, I'm not sure what their strategy is anymore. They seemed to have a "plan" when I was there, but they've become just another staffing company in my mind.
