      Pros

      Brooksource was my first job out of college and at first it seemed like I got my dream job at first. They truly do invest a lot of training and "perks" into working there. The management is fun and has lots of one on ones with you and everyone in the office is so willing to help. There are insane promotion parties, great training/learning opportunity, and the office culture is chaotic but fun.

      Cons

      The starting salary of a recruiter at brooksource is too low to live on. It takes about 3-6 months before you can start making commissions but even if you close deals at a rapid rate it isnt a lot of money until you build up a decent list of contractors which takes 6 months to a year. I ended up leaving because i couldnt afford to live on the change they give you. You will survive if you can get help from your parents the entire first year you work here before any real money comes along.

      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!"
