Pros

Good starting point for someone wanting to get into recruiting/staffing. While all of it was not bad do get some valuable lessons on what to do and not to do in the this industry

Cons

Long hours, cut throat environment and managers tend to be hands off

Pros

Good benefits, good paid time off, etc

Cons

Underpaid. Period. Their compensation plan pays about the same commission as other places but without the benefit of a base salary. Sure you have a "base" (expect 50k as Sr tech recruiter) but you won't see a penny more until your commission exceed that base whereas anywhere else you're making your base plus commission from your first placement. Probably not a big deal if you're a superstar with 20-25 billables, but it takes 15 syllables just to cover your base/draw. Compared to the average commission plan in staffing out there, you'll be making 35k less at those 15 billables. Do the math before signing. Probably not a bad place to learn staffing, but definitely no place for a truly Sr. Recruiter. Again, commission is about the same but without the benefit of a salary underneath it. Expect to be underpaid, micromanaged and forced to work under archaic conditions (wear a suit, everybody must come in office, etc.) as well as held to metrics that don't mean anything such as number of interviews or hours billed rather than dollars of profit made. It is a culture of fear. And, yeah, believe the other reviews about turnover and know the odds are 60% you won't be here a year later either willingly or unwillingly.

Not the right fit

Pros

The organization is growing and there is a lot of money that can be made for the right type of person. The company provides a lot of electronic resources and provides tools to assist in your success.

Cons

The on-boarding process was disorganized and the company is quick to let new people go if they are unable to catch on right away.
