Pros

I joined Brooksource immediately following my graduation from college 3 years ago. The amount of opportunity and autonomy that this company provides has been amazing. Joining any company directly out of school can be a toss up- you don't know the way of the working world until you're in it. With Brooksource, I truly feel lucky to have landed where I have. I know that no other company would be as supportive or open doors for me in the way that Brooksource has, especially only being 2.5 years in.

Cons

This is not so much a negative on Brooksource, as it is the staffing industry. Staffing is a highly emotional field with a lot of uncertainties. You can execute your job perfectly and things can still go wrong. I think making sure that you have the mental toughness to consider a role in this field is critical.

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!"
