Pros

Excellent training if you are interested in a career in recruiting. High standards for growth, good training and they give you time to get off the ground.

Cons

Incredibly immature environment, unprofessional in the office. Management at headquarters is unethical (check the news) and laid off all core support staff, including all but 4 people in payroll to support 8,000+ people. This means that consultants don't get paid and sometimes YOU don't get paid. Consultants are treated poorly except by the few people who actually care, but then those people are abused and they leave. Favorites get treated far better, with better accounts and less money taken from them, they also get a blind eye to poor performance or behavior. Recruiters get treated like trash and Sales people get more money and freedom, even though the recruiters are filling the jobs and managing talent. Some office environments are actually abusive.

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.
