      Pros

      Lots of opportunities to go out and booze.

      Cons

      Inorganic or forced friendships that others call “culture”. Be ready to have people you’ve only known for a month tell you that they love you and you’ve joined a family. Very low starting wages and a poor commission structure. A CEO that is known to be “creepy” amongst girls. No professional training from anyone with any real tenure in sales or recruiting. Guys were dropping the n word at company events. The week each branch of the company went through layoffs in 2020 the executive team took out a party bus to celebrate someone’s promotion - thanks fam.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we are extremely disappointed to hear that it was a negative one as the incidents you have described do NOT reflect our core values or the type of environment we want for our employees. Culture is everything here at Brooksource, which is why we strive to create a welcoming environment where all our employees feel empowered to be the best. This includes the creation of our employee-led connection groups, joined together based on common backgrounds, identities, or interests to provide a safe space for conversation and development. It is for these reasons that we do NOT stand for the types of behavior and language that you have described. Would you please email us at success@eightelevengroup.com so that we can learn more about this situation?

      Pros

      Great hands-on training from management, great starting point in your career, easy transition to the "real world" from college, and pretty easy to make some friends. My manager was awesome and did an amazing job creating a great work experience for everyone.

      Cons

      A lot but just to point out a few highlights: - Executive management brought us back into the office in June of 2020 when COVID cases were spiking even though everyone was doing fine working remotely. They did close the office until 3 people had gotten COVID putting 60+ workers at risk. -Insane culture. I had a lot of cringy moments at this company where people were telling me they "loved me" constantly, forcing conversations that didn't need to be forced, and saying good job after almost everything. -Culture was a mask for low pay, poor benefits, and LOW commissions. Recruiters you have warned the commission structure here is by far one of the worst I have ever seen in my life. I was not a top performer at Brooksource at all and made $50K in my second year. After working at another agency I made $50K in commission alone in my first 8 months. -A lot of "boys will be boys" and "frat boy" culture. Take that as you will.

      Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to give us honest feedback. We gladly accept any reviews, positive or negative, so we can see what's working and what needs to be improved upon. The pandemic was a difficult situation for all of us to navigate, as we had never experienced something like this before and we were eager to get back to our in-office company culture. We also wanted to provide our new hires with the most authentic Eight Eleven experience they could possibly have, even though they were joining our team right in the midst of a pandemic. Regardless, we are continuing to follow CDC guidelines and take precautions when necessary, and the health and wellness of our employees will remain a priority. We always aim to recognize the areas we can improve, and have many conversations about this behind the scenes. We value your feedback and appreciate your honest notes. Thank you for the time you spent with our company!

      Pros

      Nice co-workers but that is it

      Cons

      Company focus on undercutting initial offer to potential new staffing contractor. The company does not always pay on time. Highly disorganized.
