Pros

- no commission cap - schedule your own meetings, control your day - friendly workplace - great teams! - great bonus plans even before you're on commission

Cons

- your experience can differ depending on what vertical you're in- I love my vertical but I understand not every management style is the same - It can be a grind, you get what you put in and sometimes less than you put in. The first year is the toughest, but if you work hard and put in the extra hours your first couple years it get easier and you start to see more wins -sometimes you work hard on a deal to have it fall through- there's many factors in recruiting and many of them are out of your control. It can be disappointing when a client pulls out at the last minute or your candidates are flaky. This happens and is the nature of the job. If you can ride out the losses the wins are worth it!

Pros

You can make great friends because everyone is young and miserable. Learn on your own or die.

Cons

It's an agency. They'll promise you the world and deliver a stale donut. The HireStrategy part of the company is sort of better, but ultimately the higher ups just put a lot of unrealistic expectations on folks and get rich in the process, while the young people who are actually doing the work are treated like crud. They'll get your base salary as low as possible and then squeeze you dry beyond that, while always promising more - that you'll "pop" one day and your desk will be amazing. Sure, you can get what you put into it. But you have to put in a LOT and treat people like dirt in the process.

Pros

Great commission structure compared to other agencies Room for internal movement if you want to stay with the company Good dental benefits

Cons

Drinking is part of the culture It can be stressful not knowing much information about the companies or "clients" you are representing The timelines to have a candidate start a position/interview/etc. are typically pretty tight which is also stressful Health benefits aren't great
