Pros

Culture - such a supportive enviorment, positive, inclusive, nurturing Work/Life Balance - being 100% remote is a dream come true. As a recruiting partner, you have full control of your schedule! As long as you hit your sales goals, you can work whenever! (Traditional 9-5 business hours are still best times to conduct business) Unlimited Income - You can work as much as you want! Many of our partners have incredibly high sales, which means high income

Cons

Working from home is not for everyone! If you are you used to being around a lot of people and relying on the social aspect of a job to motivate you, you may have an adjustment period. Personally, I have always worked better on my own and enjoy being able to concentrate without distractions at home. You have to be a self starter and keep your own motivation going. Sales are also not for everyone. If you work hard and understand what you're doing, success will come. You have to stay laser focused on the job at hand and you will be successful!

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
