Pros

I have worked with Goodwin for over 3 years now after a 34 year career in the restaurant industry. When I left the restaurant industry I knew I wanted to stay connected with the hospitality industry and just grew tired of operations. I found Goodwin and made the best decision of my professional career when I joined them. Work from home and not on the road all the time. Work with an amazing group of talented professionals that offer support at every turn. Grow as a team and become more and more of what the clients and candidates are looking for on a daily basis. This is the best job I have ever had.

Cons

You have to be able to work from home and not be distracted by the fact there is no one looking over your shoulder. You are your own boss and responsible for your own success. Unfortunately, some people can't handle that.

Pros

I love the support we get to achieve our goals through ongoing training and development, and the constant focus on providing us with the best technology. I also love that we have a support team from accounting, IT, HR, and regional directors to keep focused on the task at hand, which is connecting with people.

Cons

It's hard work, but no job is easy. For some, it may be surprising that you are accountable to yourself, so it takes focus, commitment, dedication, and perseverance. Work-life balance comes from what you put into your business to achieve what you want out of it.

Pros

* Some genuinely kind and supportive coworkers * Remote/flexible aspects of the role may appeal to some people * Opportunity to gain recruiting and sales experience in a fast-paced environment

Cons

* In my experience, leadership could be overly aggressive and created a very high-stress environment * I personally observed favoritism within parts of management, which negatively impacted morale * Expectations and communication often felt inconsistent * The role became emotionally exhausting and affected my work-life balance * Certain practices and decisions did not align with what I personally considered professional or ethical
