Pros

Brooksource gives you an excellent opportunity to start your professional career in the tech industry and get exposure to what teams at their enterprise clients are working on. Good resources for recruiting and veteran experience in the office can certainly help EIC adults who are navigating the staffing industry.

Cons

Very low, non competitive salary to start. Ability to make commission is based on the accounts you receive and willingness of the account manager. Next to no benefits, expected to work in the office for a job that easily can be done remotely, and management expects you to work outside of normal working hours. It was frustrating to know how little we were being paid compared to other agencies, all the while execs and management are throwing exclusive events, “promotion parties” and other frivolous spending that could be used to pay the employees a more livable base. You will learn early on management has favorites in the office and if you aren’t one, it’s difficult to gain promotions or even good opportunities to work on. Turnover is high in this industry, but seems particularly higher at Brooksource.
