Pros

Brooksource truly cares about their employees and it is evident in everything that they do. I truly enjoy going to work every day and it is because of my coworkers and the office culture. It is unmatched. They want to invest in your professional and personal growth and everyone actually wants to see you succeed so they give you all the tools necessary to do so. If you put in the work, you will see success and be happy. They way I see it, you spend 40+ hours a week with your coworkers so you might as well love going to work. My coworkers have become like family members to me and I plan on staying with Brooksource for as long as they'll let me.

Cons

The industry is difficult and there can be a lot of ups and downs but if you stay positive, things usually work out in the end. Also, your coworkers have your back and make up for the downs.

Pros

This company relies on growth from within, so if they see potential in you, they will help you get to that next level. There is always a huge support system around you at all times.

Cons

The amount of support can quickly turn into micromanaging, and promoting from within is great until you start protecting those who earned their title sheerly through tenure or a 'good ol' boy' system. Also, the pay is abysmal. They pay you the absolute minimum in salary and the rest is based off of commission, so even the best reps can lose everything on a clients whim, going from making almost $200K a year to $30K in the blink of an eye. They say they have protections in place for that but that's only for the people who earn the company millions of dollars for 4 consecutive years. Also, there really is no such time as a work/life balance here. They throw parties to make you think you do, but if you are out on PTO you will still be judged by your KPI's while you were out, and they expect you to pick up the phone, regardless of if you are on vacation or at your grandfathers funeral. "Still gotta keep you numbers up!"
