Pros

You can make money quickly

Cons

This company has a "work hard, play hard" culture, however, that means that managers are allowed to date subordinates, alcohol is in every office (wine fridge and keg-orators, and there is a ton of sexual harassment. This company does not get rid of employees that harass or sexually harass others. It is frowned upon to go to HR and HR does not like to get involved. I have personally been harassed and sexually harassed by managers as well as witnessed this happening to other employees. This is not a safe environment for young women. Drugs are also passed around the office freely among employees. Do not work here.

Pros

In such a competitive field, it's nice to have a collaborative environment where your peers help each other win. Still being a privately held company, there's more flexibility to run your business and be able to take good care of our client employers and client candidates, rather than just "putting numbers up on the board!" This is an organization that prioritizes with people first, process second. Great office environment with all of the resources. Positive and fun culture. This is still a rapidly growing company with a lot of career growth opportunities and room for internal promotion across the country. The executive leadership team is always available and completely supportive, rather than sitting in their corporate office, demanding results and barking orders.

Cons

Being a 20 year old company, but only five years in Denver, we don't yet have the same brand recognition as in other cities. However, that is changing fast!!
