Pros

Do not use them to help you look for a job and do not except any job they offer.

Cons

They lie to potential employees using bait and switch tatics and only care about their relationship with their business clients. They lie about how long the work will be and what the job description is. If work is no longer available on the jobsite Brooksource lies to the employees about what occurred. They make false promises to the employee denying any future work or medical benefits and tells the state the employee was terminated for incompetence preventing that employee from getting unemployment benefits.

Pros

You make friends at work and have the ability to make good money (which you can also do at competing firms).

Cons

Extremely poor management, the idea of only promoting from within is not the best model when your company is filled with people just out of college who have zero experience. People are promoted too quickly into management positions without the proper support or even having to prove themselves. Training is very limited, so you better learn on your own or you will not last past a few months. There is no real professional development path, and they pride themselves on the fact that you can become an office manager within just a year or two out of college and which is pretty comical if you think clients actually respect 24 year old "managers." Brooksource does not invest in employees and is 100% a turn and burn culture, following the model of mass hiring and hoping a few people work out. What is worse is that the company blatantly lies about the extremely high turnover to prospective employees. If you are a young professional looking for guidance, strong leaders, continued training and professional development...don't be fooled into believing the "Brooksource culture" and I highly advice you to look elsewhere.

Staffing is a joke

Pros

This is still a newer company so there are many employees who have been here since day 1. The people who founded and built this company are very proud of the growth of this company which is great to see which was One of the things I did love about this company. You do have potential to make a lot of money as well if you're good at your job. If you want to work in HR or Recruiting for your career it's a good place to get the experience and build your resume.

Cons

Staffing is a joke of an industry. It's very unprofessional and you are promoted based on favoritism. Its a bunch of newly graduated employees so drama and gossiping is inevitable. You will definitely get sold on the party and "celebratory" atmosphere if you are a recent which was fun at first but it gets old once you realize you're getting paid super low and commission is a joke. Also this is not a 8-5 job, which is fine but be prepared to work 12 hours. Brooksource is definitely one of the better staffing companies but the industry itself is a joke.
