Interesting company....

Pros

- Very fun, entrepreneurial in its office structure. Each office sets its own expectation with some limited corporate oversight. - Base salary is decent for industry standards. - Each office is organized different and the people in other offices are great to partner with. - Commission structure is better then high-volume staffing agencies. - Not a metrics driven company, won't pull call records or beat you down for not hitting unrealistic numbers of submittals, interviews, placements, etc.

Cons

- Very little training. Most people have been the industry before and know what they are doing. But the ones that haven't and are not in a mature office, good luck learning something. - Can be a very political environment. - Greed - Very Business Development centric. Not held to any standard and quick to blame recruiters for unfillable job orders. - Favoritism is very obvious with certain offices.

Not part of the "in" crowd

Pros

Good Benefits. Fun corporate environment. Good ATS. Fun Training in Nashville.

Cons

If you are not part of the clique they don't really try to bring you in. Everyone in the office had been there for a long time, since the beginning, but they are very hard to impress. I felt like I could not contribute and felt stiffled at every turn. I wanted to take care of some Social Media and was told that i could not. i never quite got along with the "sales" team. She constantly spoke down to me like I was stupid. I have been recruiting for 10 years and was made to feel like I didn't do enough. They had the expectation of 25 in person interviews a week. Hard to meet that quota. And after I finally had 10 people on the books I made less than $200 in commission. For the base salary to be so low. To be able to actually make money was impossible. Maybe for someone just starting out
