Pros

Everyone is really young and fun, there many company outings and happy hours. Since the company has such a fun environment, it makes for a great first job as a transition out of college. They only promote from within.

Cons

My first 2 weeks there, 11 people quit who had worked there over a year, both recruiters and account managers. It's very misleading when they say the average time to get promoted is 6 months. You think if you do everything they tell you in 6 months you'll be promoted, wrong. The base salary is only about 30k depending on locations and you only get 1% commision, which gave me an extra 15-20 bucks each week. For working 60+ hours a week, it's definitely not worth the long days, and all of the stress. Of my training class of about 35, 4 have been promoted after 9 months and I can only realistically see them promoting another 3-4 before everyone quits. This company doesn't fire anyone unless you do something extremely inappropriate.. they just drag you along until you finally hate it and want to quit. Also, you get 8 PTO days a year, but you technically don't get any until after 6 months with the company, then you earn 4. They make you feel extremely guilty, almost as if it would affect your promotion to take 1 day off so no one ever does unless they're interviewing elsewhere.

Pros

Continuous activity, there is always something to do. You will never get bored and

Cons

Way too micromanaged, you feel like you're reading off a script when talking to candidates. You have no freedom to have your own personal style or way to communicate with candidates. Account managers are always berating you and criticizing everything you say and do. The workers are so unfriendly and fake. After I left the company, they all completely stopped talking to me, unfriended me on social media, handled it very immaturely. That is no way to treat someone.

Pros

Fun group of people to work with for the most part, and if you are willing to sell your soul and can live with being micromanaged to death, there is a real opportunity to make a lot of money.

Cons

You're expected to treat people like cattle, and ridiculed if you express any opinion contrary to the company line. By the end of my time there it was incredibly depressing to get up and go to work every day.
