Very tense atmosphere.
Manager has very little idea about what recruitment entails.
They tend to lie on commission payment (make sure that everything is spelt out in your contract!).
The senior consultants tend to get the bulk of the money by monopolizing all the "juicy" clients.
Candidate and client ownership system which discourages many consultants.
Very high turnover.
Virtually no team spirit, every man for himself.
Very low quality training.
