Pros

Brooksource is a great culture and truly a family. Support is there from all levels of management. I will always respect the executive team and the 3 division presidents- it's rare that you get the chance to have an actual relationship with executive management where they support you, even the bottom tier. Brooksource is great about spreading culture across offices, with travel visits and multiple trips to corporate for various trainings, where you feel included in the family. It was an amazing first job full of training and development that helped me grow.

Cons

The staffing industry can be tough. The industry is why most people leave Brooksource, or wanting to go in a different direction/different job function, not the company or management.

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!"
