Pros

Unfortunately, I don't have many pros to list. You do get the opportunity to work with some fun, young people. But unfortunately, they are told the position will be one thing when it turns out to be something completely different. So, at least you have good people to be miserable with while you are still there.

Cons

The interview process was great with lavish dining, drinks and socializing. They seemed very welcoming and talked highly about their supportive team. After meeting everyone on the team I was ecstatic to begin a new career path in the world of recruiting. I have worked many years in Sales and so working hard for your money goes without saying. I was in it for the long haul. Once on board I quickly realized there was no training and management was never available when needed. Being new to the industry and having no technical background it is important to have support from your boss. I am resourceful and a quick learner. However, there is certain inside knowledge that someone with experience has and that was never available when it said it would be. What was even more disappointing was when you give feedback or advice it is taken extremely negatively. Being that it is a "start-up" you would think that all input would be considered and not brushed away.

Pros

Can make good money, your coworkers are great

Cons

- work 7:45-5pm every day and will be questioned if you leave early - "hybrid" is onsite mon-fri with no flexibility - management is absolutely insane in every way - zero diversity, only hire blonde women in their 20s - base salary is laughable and you will be making that for at least a year if not more - management will play favorites and that has a direct impact your paycheck - constant work drama - no rewards for hard workers - benefits are a JOKE - 401k match is $250/year, health insurance is terrible, and zero perks of the job
