Pros

There really weren’t any. But I see why kids right out of college enjoy this place so much. I will say that I enjoyed the people that I worked with there.

Cons

The pay sucked. Micro managing. They make you get “pumped up” in the morning by yelling and acting ridiculous and I just wasn’t into that at all. I once got pulled aside after our morning meeting because I wasn’t “yelling loud enough” and my boss made me scream in the office to “practice” and get my voice working. I think that next day I ended up quitting. I’m there to work, not to act like I’m in college Greek life. Anyway, the job itself sucks if you’re a recruiter. On the phones all day bothering people about jobs that you don’t know anything about. So you’re really just sounding like a complete idiot on the phone 99% of the time. The people you’re calling usually aren’t happy when you call and bother them constantly about jobs. High turnover rate. I only worked there for a month and saw so many people quit. And even now I still hear of people quitting constantly and I know most of the people I worked there with aren’t employed there anymore because they realized how awful it was. Poor training process. They “train” you for 3 days and then you’re on your own. I wouldn’t even call it training because you just sit and shadow someone and it’s not helpful at all and extremely boring. I could keep going on but I think you get the point.

Pros

You learn time management and hard work.

Cons

They don't value their employees and view them as dispensable. Promotions are based on favoritism. The time off policy is criminal for new employees and they run the office like a prison. In before 7:30 am, scheduled 1 hour lunches and out when job is done (between 5:30 -7:30 pm). Going to the doctor was a hassle because you needed "permission". If you felt sick, you had to go into the office to "prove" you were sick. Feedback they give employees is completely inappropriate. My appearance was critiqued nearly every day, "You need to wear mascara." "You can only wear your hair up once a week." "That top looks like it should on a flower child." I could continue but you get the point. They asked a large group of us to write positive reviews my first or second month in. It still bothers me to this day I wrote one so here is my "revised" review. From my understanding, they have raised the base salary for Chicago since I left and some toxic C-Suite members have left the company.

Pros

Your coworkers are amazing. It's really the only good thing about this job. Being surrounded by a bunch of energetic and attractive recent grads is always nice. You'll make some good friends here. Also If you're a fan of working in a place modeled after the movie boiler room you'll love it here.

Cons

So here's the deal this place is a sweatshop for recent grads. You're going to come in an be told that if you work hard you will be promoted, but what their strategy is if we bring in 30 new people every semester we will promote one after a year and keep the other 29 on to work for penny's for as long as possible and replace them with a new energetic grad whose soul hasn't been crushed yet. You have to do the work of recruiting as well as set the account managers meetings and do all of their busy work. Besides that you are going to need to spend the majority of your time sucking up to the manager and making sure they love you since they will decide almost immediately if you will be promoted.
