Pros

Professionalism, good advertising and brand name. Keeps you organized. Nice offices for interviews. Sponsors business events in local communities so values networking.

Cons

Too focused on metrics instead of value add that experienced employees bring to the table. Treats everyone the same, regardless of experience level - a sweat shop. Counts and tracks activity hours - major micromanagement. Discounts its employees and thinks everyone and everything should be the same business model even though dealing with extreme different levels of expertise that do not always fit the mold. So the best, most experienced employees do not stay here - look how many start their own firms or go to competitors! Does not reward top performers - what have you done today, instead of what have you done over months and years. Very political.

Pros

They are a big company and have a ton of resources available.

Cons

There is zero focus on quality it all has to deal with quantity. They would rather see their recruiters send 10 resumes that aren't close than 3 resumes that are spot on. Local management is a total joke. Within 6 months of being there I was the Sr member of a team and responsible for training new recruiters. Prepare to be micromanage.

Not so great work life balance if manager. Average health and retirement benefits.
