Pros
If you're young and like to drink, you'll have fun. If you can last 5 years you might be able to snag an open manager or director position and can make decent money.
Cons
Shady business practices, favoritism, rude leadership. micromanaging. Long hours. Job candidates are manipulated and generally not treated well - if you're accomplished in your field they'll absolutely send your resume to every competitor in town (which has gotten people fired). I've seen job seekers be intentionally sabotaged for not working with the firm. The whole business model relies on the good faith of the candidate sharing information they otherwise wouldn't, like references and other interviews you've had. And so the most desperate job seekers are the ones who truly keep this business afloat - they'll never get hired or even interviewed, but the information gained in these "screening" interviews is invaluable to Michael Page. To pay back their openness with no followup and stolen job prospects is deplorable - and they do the same to any references sent in. Just manipulation at every level in this company and no respect for the job seekers that keep it alive. I wouldn't ever send my resume to a 3rd party recruiting firm after working here.
