Pros

A handful of the people I worked with.

Cons

-Working constantly to try and compete over the other 350+ recruiters to make money. -Classified as a 1099 but treated like an employee by their demands & micro-management. The idea that it's a "partnership" and "your own business" is the furthest thing from the truth. -Made to sign a non-compete contract that is insane and illegal in several states and the FTC is looking to ban them completely because they "hurt workers and harm competition". -Overt preferential treatment to certain individuals. -Hypocrisy on every level but certainly in their core values especially, "Integrity in Everything We Do". -Misinformation about the individual's startup costs which were around $2,000 in all before you make a dime. -Treated like a cog in a money-making machine with little regard for the "partners" as long as they make money. The more people they add to the company, the more money they make so that serves as their end game along with growing their database. -What is billed as a hospitality recruiting agency turned into a free-for-all of taking on every industry out there for monetary gains and specializing in nothing.

* In my experience, leadership could be overly aggressive and created a very high-stress environment * I personally observed favoritism within parts of management, which negatively impacted morale * Expectations and communication often felt inconsistent * The role became emotionally exhausting and affected my work-life balance * Certain practices and decisions did not align with what I personally considered professional or ethical
