Pros

They let you take PTO in advance.

Cons

Almost all employees ( tech recruiter, corporate recruiter, developers, attorney) are on some kind of a time commitment, which leads to an incredibly toxic work environment. If you receive a sign on bonus and leave before the end of your first year they will request the gross not the net in a payback. They act like they don’t know to file a 941 to get their taxes back. They will then ask you to pay the filing fee. They do not pay commission that was earned while you’re employed. They use a “commission is not earned until it is paid” mentality. As a recruiter here you are not a subject matter expert. You are simply a glorified call center tech. Constant micromanaging. No real standards at all. No training, no SOPs, no accountability. President and CEO will say one thing in Q1 and it will change within that same month.

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.
