Pros
Ability to make serious commission. Work from home. Great IT department. Great internal system called FORTPAC. Hit the ground running mentality. Can make anyone a good recruiter.
Cons
Will not approve time off. They want you to hit numbers the same week you need time off. Never granted. Prepared to work while on vacation, at airports, while driving to keep them happy. Low salary. A month in training that seems to leave you with more questions then answers. Company takes 70% of deals with companies. Hard to get out of the draw system when they take most of the money. You have to pay for tools like LinkedIn. Comes out of paycheck. If a deal with a company needs a lawyer to get involved they take money off the top of your deal to pay the lawyer. Also management will tell you that it’s your job to make sure the money you have coming in is correct even through there is an accounting team. Bad equipment sent to you. Slow computers cheap headsets. Just a number. They will replace you the next day. Be ready to be micromanaged like never before. The upper management thinks the job is beyond easy. No excuses. It’s actually difficult to find companies who want to pay the higher fees that gpac wants. Gpac tells recruiters “it’s your desk” but won’t allow you to negotiate with companies. Upper management always preaches not to work with companies who have high turnover when the actually company has the highest turnover of any company I have seen.
