Understaffed and underpaid

Pros

Able to wrap up the day and not have to take additional work home with you

Cons

Understaffed in the branch leaving the recruiter to act as both a receptionist and a recruiter at the same time. This leaves almost no time to take a much needed break in what ends up being over a 9 hour work day. As a salaried employee there is no overtime and the pay is extremely low for the work load and the expectations of corporate. The branch manager did very little to provide even part time support to assist with answering phones and assisting potential hires with paperwork or questions about the computer system. The local area managers should be more in touch with the needs of specific branches in order for them to be successful and meet the goals set for each recruiter.

Pros

Easy access to available jobs Painless application process Steady pay (though not always the amount you would expect) Supervision was non intrusive

Cons

Rude and unprofessional office staff Lax hiring standards (with very little monitoring) Opportunities are of the dead end variety Hires easily disposed of en masse with no warning Half-days with no warning Unstructured workdays

Pros

Nice people who are very friendly and outgoing.

Cons

I waited at least 30 minutes after my interview time to see the recruiter. They don't return calls. I reached out to them for almost a week straight and kept getting the run around. I kept getting I'll call you back but my calls went unreturned.
