Pros

Good training. You'll be put on a treadmill to learn hardcore recruiting.

Cons

Corrupt management. Lower level managers have access to commission software and literally steal from their recruiters to boost their numbers. Ten hours a day on a treadmill. You will not learn the business just your niche. Recruiters are called hamsters. Turnover is huge but intentional. Any future temp revenue derived from the former employee is turned over to the house. The Regional Director uses this account as a slush fund to cover weak areas or to reward a "favored" employee. Hellish open plan environment with distractions everywhere. Hard to hear yourself on the phone.

Pros

Not much to say here, unfortunately.

Cons

In the technology practice, the unwillingness to adapt to a rapidly changing market can no longer be ignored. Too many decisions continue to be justified by the mindset of "this is the way we've always done things," even when those approaches are becoming less effective or counter-productive. While competitors evolve their business models, recruiting strategies, and client engagement practices, continues to be reluctant to challenge long-standing processes and assumptions. The impact of this resistance to change is becoming increasingly visible in the market. Clients and candidates have more options than ever before, and perceptions of the organization are being shaped by experiences that no longer align with current expectations. Without a willingness to listen to feedback and embrace new approaches, there is a real risk of causing lasting damage to the company's reputation, employee retention, and long-term competitiveness.
