Horrible, horrible place to work. - Recruitment Consultant Bilingual Source Employee Review

Pros

You will come out trained to do well at most other companies. It truly is recruiter boot camp, and if you survive long enough to absorb those learnings, you will have a work ethic that future employers will find almost god-like.

Cons

It is abusive. Employees are pitted against one another. The owner of the company thinks he owns his employees. There is no flexibility, it is like a prison. You must be at your desk, you can't be 1 minute late, you can't leave at 5:00 without risking the wrath of your boss. You are expected to eat, sleep, and breathe Bilingual Source for $30k per year plus a measly 10% commission. All told, if you really grit your teeth, swallow your pride, and devote your life to this company, you might make $45k in your first year. You will also notice that 1 or 2 people have hoarded all of the good accounts left behind by past employees who finally had enough. This leaves the rest of the team to find for scraps, making the job that much more difficult.

Pros

Absolutely nothing here - work elsewhere

Cons

All the positions are filled by the senior management ONLY. They hardly leave anything for the juniors. No base pay, so everyone's fighting. Micromanagement by some of the 'managers'

Pros

This has really developed into a tremendous work environment overall. In terms of the technology and systems that are at your fingertips they are truly top tier. Management cares, and offers their time and attention to all matters, no matter how big or small. There is really a good focus on improving and helping employees grow and develop internally. A good, cohesive team that supports each other is in place. I'm very satisfied as an employee and I feel like the company is going in the right direction with things. I believe they sky is the limit here.

Cons

There has been a lot of change in the last number of months but that can be attributed to the shift in technology across the recruitment landscape as a whole. Be prepared to jump in and see lots of new technologies being introduced, not a con perse but more an fyi . If you're not quite comfortable with adapting to new technologies this might be a hard shift for you. Otherwise, nothing that stands out.
