Pros
The positive aspect of this position is the possibility of learning how to recruit without prior experience. If you're lucky, you will have someone on your team who knows what he/she is doing. You will not be trained on how to recruit, but there is a possibility of learning if your office is happenstancially graced with the fleeting presence of an experienced professional.
Cons
Local office management is slimy, secretive, and overwhelmingly negative to their employees. They will discuss opportunities of growth to death and hold innumerable required leadership calls to talk about avenues for growth. It becomes evident very quickly that management doesn't care about Recruiter growth-- they care about the growth of their own paychecks and how their office looks to area leadership. They will use you up until you have nothing left to give. You will be encouraged by a vague and prospective promotion to work through lunch and far past closing time, only to realize your management team recognizes nothing of what you are contributing. You'll receive only negative feedback that is supposed to sculpt you into a leader. The management team is driven by a fierce force of stupidity; the vocabulary I have seen in emails to clients from my manager is something to behold. It does, however, make for amusing conversation at the dinner table-- so at least that's something. Although your title is Recruiter, you will really be held accountable for client management, business development, and comprehensive training of new internal employees-- all aspects in the job description of the business development managers. You will be micromanaged, condescended to, manipulated, demeaned, and deceived by these managers who are somehow making two to three times more than you.
