Pros

It is a decent job to take right out of college while you look for something better. Everyone starts out at the same position so all of your co-workers can help you if they choose to. Pretty decent location-wise.

Cons

Regularly work 50+ hours a week for a slim wage. You spend most of your day bothering the hiring managers at companies and telling them you have someone perfect for you company, even if you have no one. The only privacy is when you grab the key to use the restroom. I didn't come close to making the 40-50k they said I would the first year, despite being responsible for 23 placements. Managers have little management skills and tend to talk a lot without really saying anything. Dull, repetitive work.
