Don’t Waste Your Time - You Can Do Better

Recruiter

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Good Recruiter resources (LinkedIn, CareerBuilder, Bullhorn CRM) - They’ll let you drink in the office Friday afternoons (but you’ll usually have to buy your own beverages or if you’re a guy you’ll end up buying for the rest of the office)

Cons

- Metrics-heavy and not results-oriented - Sexism and favoritism is evident across the organization - Office politics heavily influence the way you’re treated including special privileges and opportunities to some and not all (far from a meritocracy) - If you don’t work out of the Cleveland office, don’t waste your time... you’ll be overlooked and under-appreciated - No local leadership or mentorship - No unified culture across different offices and brands - Outdated culture - Very few incentives compared to competitors - Average (at best) commission structure - Stagnant business growth and no truly valuable business development - No 401k match Honestly, just don’t waste your time. There are so many better companies out there.
