Pros

Being on a base +commission structure, it was nice to know that I was rewarded based on the results I presented. I made great lifelong friends with the coworkers I had on my team. If you stick it out, you'll grow in your leadership opportunities on the team because turnover is so high. I genuinely had a lot of fun working here and it taught me valuable life and career lessons.

Cons

Staffing in general can feel a little cut throat at times, and I was good at what needed to get done, but looking back I wish I hadn't been so encouraged to step on the person next to me in order to get more money and placements in my own pocket. Management is so stressed to get numbers that it affects their ability to lead the team, and they end up spending more time trying to just make it all look better than it really is than fixing the problems at hand. I was wildly disappointed to find out at one point that although I was one of the highest performing recruiters on the team, I was making far less in base compensation than my counter parts.

Pros

Not a single thing, they treat you like you never left middle school

Cons

- micromanaging - act like they are flexible but make you feel bad for taking time off or it’ll affect your commission. -better get used to manipulating innocent people into taking not good job opportunities and then fire them a week into jt.

Pros

The company is growing quickly but the current market can't keep up with past growth expectations.

Cons

HQ leadership still expects 2021 numbers in a 2023 market which is putting a lot of stress on managers and producers. Everywhere I turn managers are starting to step down or leave the company which is concerning, and there is a lot of micro management from higher ups who are panicking because they have no say on what the market does.
