Pros

Rewarding work supporting people in career transition Great team with upbeat, personable and bright colleagues and a collegiate environment. High level of autonomy. Flexible hours as you control your own calendar. Good hourly rate (however impossible to get an increase). Resourceful programs for clients. Good brand.

Cons

Focus on KPIs means that consultant's hours are capped - and clients are directed to online tools/webinars instead. Part-time work only and increasingly "quiet" periods where there is little work for consultants - which can be highly stressful. Work no longer intellectually stimulating. Management is distant and not transparent. Culture is transactional.

Pros

The team was one of the strongest aspects of the organization, with many supportive and hardworking colleagues. PTO and time-off benefits were competitive, including occasional early-release days and additional time-off opportunities throughout the year.

Cons

The company culture has significantly declined in recent years, leading to lower employee morale and engagement. Micromanagement became increasingly common, while transparency and trust diminished. Although remote work was heavily promoted, there has been a shift toward a hybrid/in-office model. Office conditions often created challenges, including recurring maintenance issues and an open floor plan that made it difficult to focus and conduct private conversations or meetings. Compensation has not remained competitive with market expectations, making it increasingly difficult for employees to achieve strong earnings. Comparable staffing firms in the industry often offer higher compensation while providing similar benefits and time-off programs. As a result, retaining experienced recruiters and top performers has become increasingly challenging. Work-life balance also suffered due to the pressure of meeting KPIs and performance metrics, often requiring work outside of normal business hours to remain competitive and meet expectations. Employee engagement initiatives and team-building activities that once contributed to a positive environment have largely disappeared. There has also been noticeable turnover among tenured employees and top performers, raising concerns about retention and overall organizational direction.
