Pros

The people are great. I have made some lasting friendships while working here.

Cons

If you're a grown adult and want to feel like you're 16 again, this is the place for you. -They doubled in company size in 2016, however have had 2 major layoffs in the same year. Some people relocated for this job and were promised things they've never received. Some people were laid off after a month or two of being employed there. Hired more people than business that was available to work on. -Many demotions. They've demoted leaders of the company and threaten others with demotions if you don't keep your numbers up even though you've been loyal to the company for many years. -They like to dangle the carrot in front of your face. Say you can get promoted if you check everything off the list, yet once you complete it they give you another list to check off before getting promoted and the list keeps going. -The countless hours working. Forget 40 hour work weeks, they're more like 60 hours here. Managers expect you to work almost 12 hour days, through lunch, which they also track, and weekends to be what they consider successful. There's no worklife balance. Going on a vacation and taking pto? Expect to work during it. -Expectations are always changing which makes it difficult to know what you're doing. -Expect to get lectured like children everyday. -A lot of turnover. Many people have left on their own terms because the work environment is terrible and unhealthy. -A lot of false promises. They'll promise you the world during the interviews, but there's nothing tangible to see. -Favoritism is huge here. If they don't like you, you'll get fired even if you're doing well. -A lot of the positive reviews on Glassdoor are skewed.

Pros

-Great Culture -Co-workers are close -lots of free food and happy hours (especially during training) -opportunity to grow fast and make serious money down the road -great for single recent graduates with little to no other responsibilities

Cons

-unclear and/or ever-changing expectations -employees Have apparently exclusive cliques -very young managers leading very young employees leads to disfunction often -very political with obvious favoritism -they care more about sales than people (which is opposite of their "slogan") -while they say this job is not a 9-5, most managers work less while recruiters are expected to work 60+ hours a week realistically to be "successful" -most staff (managers and recruiters) are extremely judgemental -mixed signals are evident -over 50% of employees hired in my time left the company or were terminated
