Pros

As it is with any sales/recruiting job, it takes time to establish yourself in this career. Relationships are so important, and again those take time to build. If you are in it for the long haul and have good morals you can do very well here. Leadership wants to see you succeed, if you are willing to put the work in you will receive the support necessary to be successful. Base salary is low, now hear me out... This is very motivating to do well so you can get commissions and grow financially. A lot of sales roles don't even have a base salary, so I view this as a positive. Great people to work with. They encourage innovation and creativity in both the recruiter and Account Executive roles.

Cons

If you are not self motivated, coachable, and willing to learn, you will probably not find success in this role and will dislike it.

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!"
