Pros

When you are a top performer, you’re treated well by direct management and senior management. If you’re anything less than a top performer (somewhere in the middle or low performer) you are constantly under fire. Benefits are decent including 401k match There are opportunities to move around in company and take on more responsibilities

Cons

Constant lay offs. It’s hard to understand where the company is truly at financially due to consist job holds, re opening and closing of jobs. Makes it tough to be successful and stay organized when there is high level of disorganization up top. Desire to have top talent but pay entry level compensation for recruitment. Micromanaging is their style of leadership across the organization. You’ll constantly get pings from leadership throughout the day to make sure you’re working which can be frustrating when you’re in the middle of interviews and speaking with candidates in process all throughout the day.

Pros

My manager is fantastic. Minimal oversight if you’re a good worker.

Cons

Anyone above your direct manager does not actually know what your job entails. The systems are spotty at best. Raises are awful. Unless you are an actual account manager, good luck trying to make a livable wage. They have money to send sales people and spouses out of the country, but the people who do most of the work to create and process the deal aren’t paid close to what they should be making. To add insult to injury, no bonuses or merit based raises in those positions.
