Pros

Some of the people are great... we had some of the top performers in the company in our office and a couple are genuine and will truly help you. Getting through the first year of torture will help write your ticket to any other place. I did get some work life balance there which is a plus.

Cons

Where to begin.... 1. Some top performers seem to think they run the company 2. Unprofessional management who get wasted with the team and try to be everyones friend. They don't know how to actually lead a team to success. 3. Incestual environment. Management dating/sleeping with girls on their team and causing problems for everyone. The amount of drama that one guy can cause is crazy. 4. Catty girls. Since they hire right out of college kids you get all the drama that comes with it. 5. Unrealistic expectations as far as KPI's 6. Comp plan is an absolute joke. They sell you the "dream" especially the recruiter and management and then there is no way to obtain it. Always using top performers to show you can make money but that is on old comp plans, not the current salary plus.

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.
