Pros

Brooksource is an amazing place to work. I worked there for 4 years and loved every day. I feel honored to have started working at Brooksource right out of college. They taught me how to be professional, hard-working, and motivated daily in the workforce. I will be forever grateful that they took a chance on me and hired me right out of college . My co-workers became my best friends and the management has each employees best interest at hand 100% of the time. I was always very proud to share with people that my CEO and my executive leadership all knew me not just by my name, but even by my nickname. At Brooksource I was honored to have the chance to travel to Mexico and spend a week long vacation being rewarded for my hard work. With more than 20 offices around the nation, they also offer extreme flexibility to travel to different markets. I had the chance to see several different offices in my 4 years and meet amazing people in each market. I highly recommend working here!

Cons

Brooksource has a work hard, play hard environment. If you work hard, you will see results, and these results will be celebrated. If you are the type of person that wants to sit around all day and not work hard, this is not the company for you.

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!"
