RRNCO - Recruiter Army National Guard Employee Review

Experience and meeting many people

Time commitment, gets in the way some weekends

Stable full-time military pay and benefits BAH/BAS and retirement points add up fast Networking with schools, community leaders, and Soldiers Leadership and public speaking skills improve a lot More independence than many traditional military jobs Can help change people’s lives and careers Good experience for future management/sales/customer service roles Opportunity for awards, recognition, and career progression Usually less physically demanding than combat arms positions Learn recruiting, interviewing, and marketing skills

High pressure mission and quota environment Long hours, especially at the end of the month or FY Constant phone calls, texts, and follow-ups after hours Rejection and ghosting happen constantly Can be mentally exhausting and stressful Balancing command expectations with applicant realities is tough Public perception of recruiters can sometimes be negative Difficult to fully disconnect during leave or weekends Heavy admin work and paperwork requirements Burnout is common if leadership/support is weak
