Pros

If you work hard and don't mind working extra hours, the top performers make a lot of money off commission. Thankful for what that did for me personally and for my career. You get to recruit on a wide variety of things. If you're interested in a career in recruiting, its an excellent place to start. The teams (regardless of office from my experience) are generally pretty fun people.

Cons

Management does a good job of trying to distill the cutthroat reputation of Staffing and maybe they're better than other companies. With that said, everyone is just a paycheck to the person above them and there's few exceptions from that. They view you as replaceable - it's just hard to tell until you're in management meetings. Being in the office often reminded me of college / greek life. There's a lot of people just there for a good time rather then learning skills and performing. There's a gossipy culture that feels like High School. It took me leaving to realize thats not normal in an office setting.

Pros

Decent salary base, probably could be a really good paying job if the job market was better

Cons

Definitely a typical, corporate sales culture where you are defined by your metrics and your metrics only. They are money grabbers, and their commission structure isn't that great. After 2 years you lose 50% of your commission from contractors and they eliminated early release days before holidays. My office started becoming a "bro culture" and the leader was clearly trying to act like "one of the guys" with the males in the office. If your market is slow with reqs, they expect you to reach out to other offices for subs which is hard to do when other offices favor their own teams' recruiters. They'll likely give you a picked over req or one not close to the money that their own team didn't want to work on. I had to reach out to other offices daily to basically beg for a req to work on to hit my metrics. To add to it, the PTO structure for salaried employees is not how they described it when I joined. 17 PTO days total (including sick/personal time btw) and it is actually accrued throughout the year. I had to use PTO for sick time and a vacation, so when I left I had to write them a check for my balance! Talk about a way to really give someone the boot when they're on their way out the door.
