Pros

Good training. Good pay for those successful.

Cons

It has really become a very sexist and hostile work environment. Also, it's very discriminatory with out loud sales floor discussions about how this company wants to hire someone in their 30s and this person is too old, or this company wants to hire an attractive female or only a male for this role because there are too many females working in the group. It's constant discrimination against your candidates as a recruiter as well as a competitive environments that goes so far to foster hostility among teammates. It was really disheartening to have to give up my job because I was unable to work with a manager and some of the team any longer but I couldn't sleep at night knowing the type of fighting and backbiting and discrimination going in in the office. Constant sexual connotations towards teammates were embarrassing and demeaning. It was unbearable and there was no one to tell. Managers would tell you that higher management would find a reason to fire you if you said anything. I was forced to move on.
