      2 Years at Brooksource…Not great, I’d look elsewhere - Sr. Recruiter Brooksource Employee Review

      Pros

      Good training, throw great parties, cool HQ building

      Cons

      They micromanage, they put you on action plans when you don’t need them but come up with a reason, they require you to come onsite because they know it’s miserable to only work on 1 project at a time from home, the same people (tenured) go on trips every single year while the young grinders stay back and barely pay bills due to the very low salaries/comp plan (because again, the owner throws sick parties and overpaid on a HQ building), the company will hire 15+ per class and lose half the group within 2 months, favorites are picked whether you like it or not, your Manager is probably teams’ing bad things about you, your friends will get fired and walked out the same morning (however they’ve never laid a single person off in 24 years.)

      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!"
