- Horrible work life balance. Mandatory hours from 7:30am -5:30pm, but it's actually frowned upon to leave at 5:30, so typically more like 12 hour work days, for no actual reason.
-If you actually want to take the PTO you've earned, they will make you feel horrible for taking it. I requested only a week off the entire year and they made me constantly feel like I shouldn't take it, and felt bad for taking it
-They don't actually value their employees. Most people get burnt out after a year. They ask you to give 110% everyday, which is unsustainable in the long term.
- The business is inherently really difficult to deal with as well. You're in the business of people, who at their core are uncontrollable, and even if you try your best to control everything, you can't. Yet upper management constantly blames recruiters for everything that goes wrong, even if it couldn't have been controlled.
-In order to get promoted, you just "have to do the job", with no real guidance, metrics, or support on how to do that. They promote who they like the best, and who talks the most and gets the most attention for the work they are doing. There's no actual rhyme or reason to their promotion process other than favoritism.
-Don't go into this job if you want to be an actual recruiter. They only value salespeople, and people who want to be in sales.
-Your activity is constantly being monitored throughout everyday, and if you don't hit certain numbers, you are shamed. Every action is logged and monitored, every single day your work there. It's an unhealthy amount of monitoring, but then again, your worth here is built upon your numbers and your spread/ commission earings. Everyone's commission is compared to everyone else every week.
-Upper management constantly talks about "the good old days" and doesn't realize that the newer generation is shaping the world now. This office has had over 65% turnover in one year for a reason. Upper management is rigid in the
old ways," and when given ideas to change or improve, don't listen and continue going about things the "old ways," even when they clearly aren't working anymore.
-I would highly recommend not working at this company.
