Pros

The people. The culture is what it is, solely because of the employees. I made wonderful friends here, and they were ultimately the only reason I stayed as long as I did. You'll learn a lot, quickly. It's like taking a crash course on sales and working with clients and candidates alike. You'll learn how to carry yourself in a professional setting and will grow so much in your career because of this.

Cons

This job is VERY stressful, and you have very little worklife balance for low pay. They never really explain your bonus structure to you, and you have no idea how it works. Just know, unless you're a CPA, or highly educated, you'll be making roughly 45-50K a year and working 50-70 hours a week. On the Finance and Accounting side, you'll feel as if you are in the actual industry. Working long hours. You are essentially told you have to dress in closed toe shoes, blazers, nice jewelry ETC. So much is expected from you, and so little is given back in return. There are no summer hours, no free lunches....If you are looking for a place you can call home, with work life balance and more, this is not the place for you. The culture can be extremely toxic.

Great in finding contracts for contract workers. They got me a remote job that allowed me to work from my home in the Midwest for a job in California.

Can be hard to reach at times.

Pros

Hybrid, Good benefits/PTO, offered “competitions” for gift cards, cares about employees

Cons

As a recruiting manager, I felt that the pay structure was interesting with the base pay being a “draw” - meaning that you base salary is essentially commission paid to you in advance. So if you have some slow months, it rolls over and works yourself into a hole. I think it would be a better structure if it reset every month.
