Pros

Despite jobs at the lowest level within the company being temporary, the pay is remarkable. The employers from Augmentation are also very upfront about their expectations and what employees should expect as far the work environment is concerned.

Cons

Obviously, with Augmentation being a contracting company, termination is an inevitability. I wouldn't necessarily called this a con however, as the nature of the position(s) is explained to employees. Right off the bat, you are made aware of both the estimated duration of the contract as well as the possibility of sudden changes to it. Still, once the contract ends, there is no guarantee that employees will be contacted again for another position.

Pros

- Day to day, there is virtually no supervision by management, so recruiters don't feel a great deal of pressure. - Environment is rather casual. - PTO requests are always approved. - Many of the requirements are quite easy, and there is a large margin for error as a recruiter learning the ropes. - There is plenty of work to go around, so the team is *usually* more collaborative than competitive. - You get to leave work at work, overtime is not expected.

Cons

- Unprofessionalism exists in every aspect of the company. - Turnover is high (~66% my first year). - Recruiters don't have access to most of the premium sourcing tools. - Commission structure makes it difficult to consistently increase income long-term. - Management is reluctant to offer new responsibilities/opportunities to newer employees. - Communication system is highly inefficient. Information goes from Clients -> Management -> Recruiters -> Candidates and back again any time any message must be conveyed, making it very difficult to handle any sort of issues. - The management makes zero effort to cultivate any kind of company culture, and all managers work remotely, leaving the office a no-man's land.
