Pros

Management (Non-Production Leaders) are mostly supportive of the career path you make, for example you can stay as an individual contributor i.e., just recruit or sales OR you can seek a management route once you've proven you know the ins-and outs of recruiting and leading/managing others. Other move to internal corporate positions. There is extensive training for both recruiter and sales associates when they start out, but you really have to own your own book of business. Focus on learning your clients, the technologies you recruit and being as efficient as possible. This is very much a hustler's environment which is great if you want to make 100K+ 1-2 years after college or 250K+ within 5 years. Leaders approve time off without pushback. Hybrid/mostly remote is the norm. This is a plus for work-life balance but also to build team culture.

Cons

Sometimes meetings and status calls can feel excessive. You can use this time to catch up on emails!

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.
