Pros

From the outside looking in, the company does reward success. You are required to take it upon yourself to go the extra mile before and after work for "role-playing" to develop your salesmanship and company pitches which means you can advance as quickly as your skills allow it. It is a very fast paced and stressful environment - some people thrive in that kind of a scenario.

Cons

When I left, I found a seating chart buried in a stack of candidate profiles that I had made for myself on the first day. Of the 12 fellow Recruiter 1's in the Pit with me on that first day, one was promoted to a territory 75 miles away, and all but 2 had quit. The recruiter role is pretty much telemarketing without a script. While there are some opportunities to move up in the company, you can easily hit a glass ceiling in a more settled city area. Management was prone to obvious office politics (picking favorites, etc). It a tough environment with some serious micromanaging tendencies. Management will try to keep your energy up with gimmicks like races, but all that really does is just add to the stress-level of stressed out employees.

Pros

The staff are all young and right out of college. Everyone likes to have fun and everyone gets along with each other.

Cons

Pretty much everything. This includes: pay (low base + pennies for commission), hours (55+hrs/week), management's constant pressure/big brother tactics, shady business practices, treating contractors like garbage (and internal employees are glorified contractors), no work vs personal life distinction (you are expected to work and then hang out with the same people and it is frowned upon when you don't). Basically they sucker recent college grads into thinking they can make a lot of money but in reality they just use you for a couple months (incredibly high turnover ratio).

Pros

Your colleagues become your friends and earning potential (but the base and commission for Pros suck).

Cons

Strict hours, no flexibility, high metrics, too lofty of goals, new initiatives every week/forgetting the old ones, bad PTO, bad 401k options, bad insurance, high pressure environment, has a "not everyone can do this job" attitude without addressing the actual problems at the company, I could go on and on. This company churns and burns like no other sales company I've seen. Look them up on TikTok and you'll hear horror stories. Wall sits for sending out an EOD stat early, locking you out of a 7:30 am Friday meeting, mandatory 4 pm Friday calls, pies to the face for not hitting goals. DO YOUR RESEARCH.
