Pros

There was a lot of flexibility when I was a recruiter, work on what you wanted and as long and you hit goals you felt fine

Cons

The last few years it's like they want to fail... started antagonizing successful recruiters basically begging people to quit. It doesn't really make sense why they took a business that had growth protentional and ran it to the ground

Nope, stay far away

Business Outlook

Pros

Never experienced a positive since the takeover.

Cons

Leadership is rudderless, and many only promote AI because they want to get rid of the actual people. No real care about the people they employ. Favoritism and sexism are a sport here. No clue on how to run a consulting firm. Get out of the business, but you already stripped the resources.
