Pros

If you work hard they will keep you employed forever.

Cons

There’s a lot and I’m not sure how to begin but here it goes. Management/Leadership is outstandingly awful. These people can’t kick a tire down a hill. Promoted for internal political purposes or what they did 20 years ago and are such bad leaders never grew past this job. Upper leadership in the heart of Covid held a east region townhall where he thought it would be a good idea to threaten everyone and say they will all be fired as their commission decreased and couldn’t complete their house renovation…. Yeah that bad. Work life balance, what is that? Told you should be working on weekends. Benefits are complete trash. 15 days of PTO and you’ll be spending a fortune of your small salary on medical benefits.

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.
