Pros

You will really feel like you're a part of something bigger and that people genuinely care about you in this office but you are sorely mistaken when it comes down to it.

Cons

It would be a long review but let me just start with culture. They think they have the best culture when there is absolutely no work life balance. They say you have your best friends built into the company when really it's young professionals who want to feel powerful calling all of the shots and get you promoted for their own selfish gain but then also tell you what you are doing wrong every step of the way. People's feelings are so easily hurt and you get pulled into a conference room to be addressed most of the time. If you are someone who is prone to anxiety, do not work here.

Pros

Entry level role, & fun events/co-workers. It will teach you valuable life lessons, and what to avoid in your next job. They're making efforts to improve retention, because they're aware it's terrible, thus why they hire recruiters in large classes.

Cons

NO work life balance. Unrealistic work expectations that force you to work weekends/overtime to achieve, or you get fired if you fail to hit them for a few weeks in a row. Very peppy/fake and sorority like environment. "we want to grow our people professionally, personally, and financially" no. They want you to advance and do well so they look well. They don't really care about your personal life, unless you have an Instagram worthy picture or you just had a baby. If you suffer from anxiety etc, just take time out of work to attend a seminar, then work late to make up for the recruiting time you missed. My first red flag should have been the first day when I was told there were "B time" work activities I should be doing, before 7:30 or after 5. They just take advantage of naïve recent graduates, who don't know any better.

Pros

Made some good friends here

Cons

- Being in the office from 7:30 am-5:30 pm while making $31,000 a year. That is about $12 / hour for an agonizing, stressful, horrible job - Women must wear heels and men must wear suits - Constantly playing favorites in the office. If you don't drink the Kool-Aid, you will be fired or put on a "growth plan" aka they want to fire you - When you get your first placement as a recruiter, you have to dance in front of the entire office - Managers telling women to wear more make up and style their hair more - There is no transparency in the workplace. Everything is said behind each other's backs. Constant drama, gossip and talking behind people's back. - If you are unhappy, you CANNOT talk to management about it or they will fire you. - They don't give you access to LinkedIn Recruiter until you are promoted to a Senior Recruiter, but expect you to make enough placements without this tool to get promoted. - You are just a number to management, not an employee or even a person. - Recruiters are forced to encourage candidates to accept the LOWEST rate possible, significantly below market value, so the Account Managers make a higher commission - Had to go on anxiety medication because of this place and multiple people had stomach ulcers from the stress - There was next to zero diversity when I was working there
