Pros

- brand name - successful in market - structure - database of candidates - training was great - learn everything about sales - internal growth opportunities

Cons

- micromanagement was insane - all day everyday - lies from management - never a moment of feeling work security, even if producing - always negative atmosphere - terrible commission structure for certain lines of business - all about hitting phone call and meeting numbers and not client/candidate relations - 10 different people would call same contact in each company - promotions came to those who managers liked and knew they could push around.

Pros

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.

Cons

Can be hard to reach at times.

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
