Pros

Still have some good friends from my time there, but definitely no one from upper management.

Cons

Where to begin? The pay is laughable. I was told I'd be making a standard entry-level salary for my position but was offered over $5,000 less. The PTO and 401k plans are basically nonexistent. Incredibly high turnover rate. Management is poorly run, toxic, and condescending if you are not a member of their clique. After putting in my two weeks notice, I was immediately removed from my project and told to leave the next day. I never received payment for that time. I would have been upset if I did not want to get out of there so badly. You're nothing but a number to them. I was announced as a new employee TWICE at quarterly meetings within the SAME YEAR. After quitting, I was contacted AGAIN by a member of sales and told that "I would be a good culture fit and should consider applying."

Pros

Recruiting Director is so domineering that you don't have to wonder what is expected of you.

Cons

Have become AI obsessed. KPI's continue to increase as they believe AI is a magic pill. Trying so hard to be like other major recruiting agencies that they've forgot what had made them different.
