Pros
The training program was fairly good. The modules are very boring, but lots of good information. I hear they recently changed it to be more hands on which is good. The health insurance was not bad. They plan fun group outings, so you can get to know your co workers. Very young environment, flexible if you have a doctor appt.
Cons
No work like balance. You are required to work 48 hours, but really the job never ends! Candidates are constantly emailing you late at night and of course you reply because you want to fill the position. You are required to talk candidates to lunch twice a week. You pay for it yourself, but are reimbursed after filling out an expense report, kind of annoying they don't give you a company card. You can't even make commission your first 3 months there and the pay is $12 an hour, but the 8 hours is overtime at least. Still very low pay $33k. Recruiters in the office I heard were making 90k, so the money is there but they work late hours or take their computers home. They had also been recruiting for a few years. It was like working in a sorority frat house, very unprofessional. A lot of swearing and talking down. Objects flying across the room, hitting people in the face. Your experience definitely depends on who you get as an account manager. Except they promote recruiters to account managers and some have never managed people before, so a manager who doesn't know how to manage! Mine came in the office smelling like alcohol many times!! So unprofessional! When the DBO is in the office, everyone is on their best behavior, sure wish he had visited more often. Every day you are put on the spot TWICE in Red Zone, meetings where you all stand around the board and talk about what position you are filling and when you will fill it. It's stressful because I'd you havent filled your spot, everyone knows. They want you making 50-100 calls a day, so if you don't like talking to strangers it's not the job for you. I left after 13 weeks and have never been so disrespected. The DBO the one person i respected screamed at me, chased me down the hall as I was leaving for the day and the whole office saw! It was such a toxic environment I had to get out! Also, 6 people left in the 3 months I was there, talk about high turn over rate. Had I known it was so high, I would have never left my other job for this opportunity. I hear other offices are better, I asked to switch to a different one as other account managers seemed to have it together better than mine, but I was told I had to stay where I was.
