Pros

I started working at Brilliant, before they went through their re-branding. It was a company that had outstanding leadership, an entrepreneurial mindset, and you could be successful.

Cons

Unfortunately, greed gets in the way. Their commission structure wasn't competitive; however, you could definitely earn a solid income. When they decided to scale and started adding layers of management, the company became a revolving door. I saw the writing on the wall and got out at a great time. They implemented metrics, and the environment became toxic, even if you were a successful employee. They wanted more and more, and the company only cared about name recommendation and winning awards. Even though I was exceeding my goals, it wasn't good enough. That wasn't what I signed up for when I joined the company. Even though it's been years since I left, all of the original founders are practically gone, and "word on the street" is that they were given checks by the owner and pushed out the door. It amazes me that this company continues to win awards, because it is definitely not one of the "best places to work."

Pros

They always pay on time.

Cons

Leadership, especially upper managers, are horrible. It is a like a big click if you aren't in it ...you're out... no matter how well you produce. Horrible commission structure with low salaries. People are leaving left and right. But hey, it's always the employees fault at least that's what the president/ceo emails imply. If you are thinking of working here do yourself a favor and look elsewhere or ask former employees if they would ever go back.

Pros

Nice people. Happy hour every Friday. Philanthropic events to participate in

Cons

You will not make money here. You would be better off going to a chop shop recruiting firm like Robert Half because at least they have the training there. There is a thin veil here between management and employees. Truthfully they make you feel warm and fuzzy but stab you in the back as soon as they can as some of the Managers lack True Management Skills.
