Pros

They value expertise and want people to know their customers well I was always encouraged to be honest with customers and contractors They take the values very seriously - particularly integrity Business has done well to rebound from the recession Strong management, listen to you and take things on board Friendly and professional. Everyone is welcome.

Cons

They still work Fridays every week. Most competitors don't now. You have to really push yourself if you want to progress. They want you to drive your own career. If you're not an A type personality, you may lose out.

Pros

Flexible work schedule-allowed to work from home when children are sick, good hours to still get home to have family time Salary, commission and bonus-if you're a good recruiter you'll be rewarded here. They also have started a President, Chairman's and CEO's Club where you can qualify fo pretty exotic trips. Examples are the Banyan Tree Resort in Riviera Maya, San Fransisco and Napa California. Top Management-has taken back the reins for company. They listen and really care about all employees. The Presdident is very in touch with whats going on and you'll hear from him-for better or worse! Employees-those of use who've made it through the economic downturn really feel close. These people are experts and have many many years of staffing expience behind them.

Cons

Career Growth-very limited for recruiters if you're not interested in sales Communication between sales and recruiters is always tricky Intake Meetings-lack of thorough intake meetings from sales leads to disgruntled recruiters and hiring managers. Technology-They use Bullhorn which has some serious limitations Training-no chance for further education of training, can do the same job for years and years Prior Management-very poor, disorganized and lacked ability to implement their grand strategy. I think this has been corrected
