Pros

- Excellent, hands-on training conducted by company executives such as the VP - Potential to earn a lot of money - Laid-back environment (in my local office, as well as with corporate) - Support from upper-level management - Affiliation with CPA firm adds value to compete with other staffing firms - Autonomy to run your own desk as an Executive Recruiter - Great work/life balance (40 hour work weeks)

Cons

- Lack of support at a local level due to competing directly with your peers - Competing with your peers can create of negativity/drama in the local office - CFS is a small fish in a large sea of staffing firms - Takes a while to actually start earning your commission and the base salaries are very low - Like any sales job, you are judged based on your production and everyone in your office knows how much you are making.

Pros

CFS and Kelly Miller are the best! Kelly is the best "match-maker", always responsive, and truly cares about her clients and candidates. Kelly spends a crazy amount of time getting to know the client and all her candidates. She doesn't just "plug" a person into a job; she matches the skills, work-styles, and personalities. I have been expertly matched to two long-term assignments that were a perfect match of her client's needs and my skills. I can honestly say that those two assignments have been the BEST work experiences in my career; the second assignment turned into a permanent placement with a fabulous company. Win, win, win! As the saying goes "your mileage may vary"; the job market and economy may not always support your individual needs, and that is not the fault of the recruiter. The recruiter is not a magician, they are a partner in your job search. In my experience, be the hardest-working party in your job search. Polish your resume, polish your shoes, iron your shirt, bring your "A" game and present yourself in the best light; the next great opportunity might be just around the corner. If there is an opportunity that matches you, Kelly will find it. I highly recommend CFS and Kelly Miller.
