Pros

The placement agent I worked with placed me at three different contract positions over four years. They worked hard to find me something I was well suited to, cared about my experiences, and stood up for me when necessary. They offer accrued sick hours, health insurance, and retirement.

Cons

It's a temp agency, so the pay and benefits aren't up to industry standards.

Pros

One of the better recruiting firms for new grads to join. Great L&D team that flies you out to headquarters in Chicago for training. Opportunity to make good money if you work hard. Most employees are very personable and a lot of people have made long-term friends here. I’ve been to multiple offices and most are beautiful spaces with all the resources you need to succeed.

Cons

As a company that states they value diversity, equity & inclusion most employees are white. They also don’t give MLK, Juneteenth, Indigenous People’s Day, etc. off. These are technically floating holidays but employees aren’t eligible for floating days until Jan. 1st after your first full year. This means if you start Jan. 2nd 2024 you’d have to wait until Jan. 1st of 2026 to take MLK day off. What manager you work for also determines your experience: mine has gone through 6 or 7 team member in the 3 years I’ve been here while others haven’t had any turn over on their teams. Salaries are fine but could be better. Leadership tends to promote the “give yourself a raise” with bonus/commission approach which is most sales jobs I guess. We implemented a new software system over a year ago and a lot of employees still don’t know how to use it. There are specific goals/metrics to meet while ramping up however nowadays I don’t have numbers to hit - this could be a pro for some people!
