Pros

-The company has a smaller family feel. -The CEO and all managers know each individual by first name and really do their best to connect. with their new employees, in order to make them feel welcome. -They pay much better than any other staffing company and allow new recruiters to work overtime. -The best place to work right out of college, the culture within each office is incredible! Making the transition from school to work so easy for recent grads. -Promotions are so frequent, making the opportunities for younger employees with lofty goals incredibly attainable. -Hard work does not go unnoticed here, there is always continual praise for hard workers! -A variety of incentives to help each sales rep and recruiter reach their goals! -At Brooksource, you truly do meet life long friends who will help you on your tougher work days and celebrate all of your successes with you!

Cons

With any staffing agency, there are many ups and downs but that is part of the industry and working with people, rather than a product. The main difference in working for Brooksource and working for another company is the support system that comes with our agency!

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!"
