Pros

Big name company that other employers seem to respect.

Cons

Favoritism, Politics, Racism, Ageism, Complete disregard for employees well-being, no work life balance. People are promoted based on reaching metrics through unethical practices. Senior management was reported to HR by multiple associates for making racial comments like "what's up my Kunta Kintes" and having public photos on social media of them in black face. No action was taken... Multiple sales associates were "gifted" top accounts, promotions/raises and offers over more tenured and qualified associates. Leadership consistently pushes numbers and churning as many candidates out no matter what - Not very consistent with the company message of "We love what we do, we love who we serve". Multiple verified affairs between leadership that led to promotions and extra cash bonuses.... This place destroys your mental and physical health. You will never grow here just based on your work ethic. When you point out the flaws within the org you're immediately met with oppression and negligence asking you to essentially "get over it". The executives are so detached from the human aspect of staffing. They're more focused on bragging about their latest sports car to show you "you can be successful too" which is a blatant lie...unless you're one of their golden children. Oh, but they'll order you pizza for your "hard work and dedication" after working 50+ hrs a week...

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.
