Pros

-Free Fridays and unlimited PTO sounded like a good idea until you realize you are working 50 to 60 hours every single week. -I made great friends while there,

Cons

-The training is horrendous, basically a series of unorganized video clips for you to watch. -You take experienced recruiters that have performed at a very high level and on day one you take all of their tools away. You ask them to rely on your internal AI which you keep telling everyone is the greatest thing since sliced bread. While in reality your AI is like a slow child, not nearly as intelligent as you proclaim it to be, -If you have great clients at your current job, you need to ask them if they have worked with Jobot, because if they have they will not be able to work with you. Even if the recruiter who owns the account is under performing. -They demand that you to post 45 jobs at all times, even without having signed agreements in place. Why do this? It's bad policy in my opinion, but I guess the company is truly becoming a resume farm. -They cut over 200 people suddenly and without warning and without any severance, not even the customary 2 weeks you would expect. - They lie consistently about the companies financial well being. -The company that claims to have a culture of kindness decides to make an April Fools Day joke claiming the C-level managers were now open to work. They were quickly called out on it and they deleted all the posts. Why do this after you just cut over 200 people? My theory is when attempting to hire new recruiters and they get asked about all the layoffs, they can play it off and say it was just an April fools joke. We didn't actually let go of all those people. -I saw red flags from the beginning and I ignored them, because I respected many of the recruiters I was working with. I thought they must know something I don't, so I ignored my instincts and stayed way too long. -Everything this company has done in the last 6 months points to an upcoming sale. Which is why many of the companies top performers are jumping ship quickly. -Stay away from this company. It's pretty and luxurious from the outside, but it is the Titanic.

Pros

They put on a good dog and pony show and send you worthless trinkets in the mail but that's about it.

Cons

They have no training program at all. There is no camaraderie internally within your team, its every person for themselves so don't expect anyone to help you. They claim to have a profit sharing program but it has yet to be implemented and they have been saying it is coming for over a year. They claim to have unlimited pto but I was harrassed when I wanted to end my work day an hour early for my sons basketball game. I highly suggest interviewing elsewhere and I would rate this company 0 stars if I could.

Pros

-Salary, though it was a draw -some absolutely amazing people work here -every other Friday off

Cons

Where to start… The company has laid off dozens, if not hundreds, of people in the past months. They expect you to work on vacation (even though they advertise unlimited pto) -the way you “own” a client doesn’t make sense. They will take from some recruiters without a warning, but never from others. - when there is a quarterly event, if you don’t qualify, they still make you watch the awards portion of it. It can be fun, but it’s also a key time where you could be calling others to try to get more business but instead you’re forced to watch a zoom of the event where you can’t hear anything anyways - I enjoyed the team I was on, but I was the only one on the east coast on my entire team. That meant my day started 2 hours before anyone else jumped on, and was finished 2 hours before they were done. As someone who was brand new, that was tough. - the way things were structure in terms of billing was confusing. I wasn’t aware from the start that whatever you bill, only 40% goes to your tower. So every week, you fall further behind than you thought.
