Pros

Working from home is great, not to mention you can work anywhere as long as you have internet. Some of the clients are pretty well known so it's a great way to get insight into corporate recruiting and to pad your resume.

Cons

Too many to name. Constantly micromanaged to a level I've never seen before. Why do we need to have daily calls to go over where we stand on our positions? Keep losing resources and they rely on "sourcing techniques" that are insanely outdated. Compensation/bonus structure is an absolute joke. One month I hired four people making six figures. I hit my goals for that month and the payout was less than $500. Constantly received praise from my clients (C-Level/VP Types), but never once received praise from senior leadership. Crazy that the client sees your value, but the company writing your paychecks just views you as another number. If you want to receive a raise you need complete a "tracker" that relies on things like leading team calls, sending referrals, and hitting offer goals that are easy/hard depending on your client. I'm sorry but getting additional compensation shouldn't depend on me sending up people for referrals. The propaganda that this company promotes is crazy. When there are "Wilson" calls you'll notice ROMs are very positive and try to get everyone on board with changes/new initiatives. I've had ROMs tell me that they're told to promote this. Culture shouldn't be manufactured it should be organic.

Pros

Being able to work from home Benefits are good and you get ample vacation time Easily able to obtain a position right out of college

Cons

- Not a comfortable place to grow and learn - if you are having a good week, you will be praised by the leadership team, but if you are having a bad week, you will be talked down to as if you're incompetent, or you will just simply be ignored. - Work/life balance is non-existent during the week (even working from home) - Unrealistic expectations of weekly goals - Average age of "managers" is around 27 - no real knowledge of why or how certain people have moved up so quickly with the company.

Pros

Remote work, flexibility, variety of clients/industries to support.

Cons

The unlimited PTO policy, which is subject to leadership's discretion and flagged after a certain threshold, is a concern because it lacks transparency and fairness. Many of us have been frustrated by the lack of clear and timely communication regarding change from senior leadership and corporate. We often find ourselves in the dark about important updates and decisions. Bonus payouts from Q4 were deferred and not paid out in the amount earned; they were coded as spot bonuses to avoid paying less than the recruitment bonus plan outlined. Promotions have been on hold for over a year, leading to no growth or advancement opportunities. Team leads have been performing ROM duties without the title/pay for over a year with no end for a true promotion. Minimal GIGs have been available internally, another lack of growth opportunities. The leadership development program has been on hold. A backlog of employees have already completed it, and there are no opportunities to promote. The constant fear of being laid off, but no one talks about it. Summer Fridays were not offered in 2023, and it doesn't seem like they'll be offered in 2024, either. Expectations between our team and the client are misaligned. We are held to high expectations, but there is absolutely zero accountability on the client side for the same expectations, making it extremely frustrating to have a productive partnership.
