Pros
Can be very successful after about 3-4 years of hard work Usually let go early on Friday’s (around 4pm) Incentives for top performers (every company has this)
Cons
Absolutely awful work life balance (you get death stares if you leave before 5:30pm even though they say it’s a 7:30-5pm job) You start off on hourly pay until you hit a certain spread to make salary. They trick you because the base salary is high but the commission structure is horrendous. You have to be very good at the job before making any commission (hit a spread of 8,000). Very fast paced and you’re forced to stay late if you don’t identify a candidate by the deadline. You will be worn out after making 80+ calls a day (trust me). They track every call you make. You have to hit certain metrics by the end of the week before you can leave work. Even if you have had a very successful week and closed on lots of business doesn’t matter. You better make those calls and hit your numbers. Terrible office politics with this company as well. The CE (contract engineering) team has higher spreads than everyone else. They get treated with royalty and make the most money while everyone stands by. Terrible company to work for. The director and the people are nice but that’s it.
