Thank you for sharing your thoughts. While this role is fundamentally focused on sales and business development, it's also incredibly rewarding in that it gives us the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of our candidates and clients. I'm truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t reflect that. That said, I’d love to offer some additional context. While everyone contributes through outreach to clients and candidates, more than 85% of our placements are shared between two or more team members. We truly value collaboration and do our best to foster a supportive, team-oriented culture within a competitive environment. I appreciate your feedback and would be happy to speak further if you're open to connecting.

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
