Pros
The BOSS Group is hands-down the best company I've had the opportunity of working for in my career. The company is well financed, and it is run by a very smart, hard-working leadership team who focus on rewarding hard work and authentic passion for success. When I started here as a regional manager, upper management was clear about the opportunity, the challenges I'd be facing, and their expectations. They were also clear about the culture they expected me to drive, the company's core values, and their commitment to ensuring I had the resources I needed to make each and every member of my team successful.
This is a place where hard working A-players will feel supported by management and surrounded by other A-players who will challenge them to be their best. Far from the "dog-eat-dog" cultures you may hear of in this industry, the environment is more like a sports team where the success of all depends upon the actions and accountability of each team member. The company is nimble, entrepreneurial, and growth-focused.
The corporate support staff are second to none. From IT, to contracts, to human capital, to legal, you will never find a more revenue-minded corporate support structure to foster sales growth and recruiting delivery. For anyone (like me) who's ever been in a revenue generating role without solid support infrastructure, you know just how valuable this can be.
If it sounds like I'm "drinking the Kool-Aid", I am. If you are willing to work hard, be accountable, and win, The BOSS Group will give you the opportunity, resources, and developmental tools for serious financial success and career growth.
Cons
The nature of the business and our services focuses on people (clients and talent). People (both clients and talent) can always be unpredictable, and can often let you down. Being the broker of opportunities between talent and clients can often come with challenges. There are times where despite your most earnest efforts, delivering on expectations of a talent or client may be out of you control.
Mediocrity is not accepted. For me, this is actually a positive, because mediocrity kills sales and recruiting offices. In the spirit of full disclosure, this is not a place where someone can coast or simply rely on a few legacy accounts. The company has lofty goals - only people with a winning attitude and the willingness to work are successful. Those who have both are very successful here.
