Pros

-Good commission structure -Snacks and coffee in the office -The training was good and comprehensive about the recruiting process -My managers were always available and willing to answer questions -Coworkers were friendly and always willing to help out

Cons

-Terrible work-life balance. Getting into the office at 7:30am and leaving at 6pm left very little time to do anything else. -Little flexibility. There was not a lot of flexibility to work from home or go to networking events. It felt like you were always required to be in the office between 7:30-6pm. -Bad location. The company is located in an area that makes it tough to meet with candidates and clients -KPIs. Over concerned with metrics to the point of compromising candidate quality. When I worked here, I spoke to and interviewed candidates just to meet numbers. I wasted significant time just trying to meet KPIs, as opposed to finding candidates for open positions. -bad company culture and environment -micromanagement
