Pros

This company has top notch tehcnology, giving you the ability to work remotely and not miss a beat. Great co-workers for the most part. Work can be fun at times, Management is fair on family issues and very reasonable about granting needed time off for personal issues. The VP of Strategic Account is amazing, he is alwasys willing to help and knows a lot of poeopla and really did a great job with training on his own time. Great communicator and very effective at his job. He should be the Marketing Director and that office would signifficantly grow in profits.

Cons

This office is ran by a few recruiters. For the most part if they did not want to work on the jobs that they were assigned too, they wouldn't and work on different job orders. Management shows complete favortism and pretty much hands openings to some AM's that do not deserve it. Everything is about what the house can make in this office. Management refuses to give higher training at corporate headquarters because they don't want it to come out of the P&L. The only training you get is a week long computer based training and if your lucky 2 days in Cleveland to meet the Regional VP. Management demands on going to as many meetings as possible with Account Managers, and then takes over the meeting and does not let the Account Manager have any say on the selling points. He often sells points that are false and have no relevance to what the need is. Mangement has no control over the recruiters and gets nothing done for Account Managers. Management in this office sells points on meetings that end up hurting the Account Manager in obtaining the account becuase he is wiling to make promises that he can't back because he can't control the recruitment efforts. He has lonst this office a few accounts already and probably loose more int the future.

Pros

Decent salary base, probably could be a really good paying job if the job market was better

Cons

Definitely a typical, corporate sales culture where you are defined by your metrics and your metrics only. They are money grabbers, and their commission structure isn't that great. After 2 years you lose 50% of your commission from contractors and they eliminated early release days before holidays. My office started becoming a "bro culture" and the leader was clearly trying to act like "one of the guys" with the males in the office. If your market is slow with reqs, they expect you to reach out to other offices for subs which is hard to do when other offices favor their own teams' recruiters. They'll likely give you a picked over req or one not close to the money that their own team didn't want to work on. I had to reach out to other offices daily to basically beg for a req to work on to hit my metrics. To add to it, the PTO structure for salaried employees is not how they described it when I joined. 17 PTO days total (including sick/personal time btw) and it is actually accrued throughout the year. I had to use PTO for sick time and a vacation, so when I left I had to write them a check for my balance! Talk about a way to really give someone the boot when they're on their way out the door.
