      Pros

      • Pay is good enough (and can be great but for whatever reason nobody wants to talk about it). • Recruitment team is very good people, including the team in Manchester. • Beautiful office location with incredible views of Chicago. • Overall quite laid back (for recruitment). • Good resources available for day to day work. (LI Recruiter, Greenhouse, etc...) you'll have the tools at your disposal to do the job. • Young environment - lots of people to mingle with and make friends. • Extracurricular activities are pretty common - if that's your jam! If you are looking for a very RISK AVERSE job this may be a great place for you. It wasn't for me, but I know this is a positive for many on the market, especially those coming out of roles that lacked stability. That said see below (cons section) and don't expect to push the envelope, don't expect to make progressive changes for the better of those you are recruiting, and don't expect any of the hiring managers you work with to consider your opinion much on candidates you bring in. You will not be a consultant at PHMG, you will be a recruiter - keeping the lights on and keeping the candidates coming in. Consistently backfilling for leavers and recruiting the same exact profile over and over again. Again - this is NOT a con. For the right person this is a dream. Stability, Risk Aversion, and Repetition - it was just not the Job for me.

      Cons

      • Unorganized with little career mapping and unclear incentives • Lack of transparency • Incredibly repetitive day to day • Borderline favoritism in the workplace Overall, there are lots of very little, tiny issues in addition to those listed above that could easily be fixed but will never be addressed because there is nobody in leadership that has the initiative or eagerness to do so (or those close to the issues just lack the power to make meaningful change). It's quite sad because the people, and the environment, are generally good - I can foresee how the culture of inactivity could just create an endless revolving door of talented recruiters coming and going feeling the same kind of way I did during my tenure.

      Pros

      My experience at PHMG has been such a fun and rewarding opportunity, especially for someone with little to no experience in sales. It’s a great place to learn, grow, and build confidence while being surrounded by people who genuinely want to see you succeed. The culture is one of my favorite parts. Everyone is very welcoming and approachable, always willing to answer questions or offer advice. Since it’s a great starting point for someone new to sales, you never feel like you’re figuring things out alone. The team is supportive, and there are so many opportunities to learn from the people around you. I’ve also really enjoyed the networking opportunities and getting to connect with so many different people across the company. PHMG does a great job creating a fun environment where people work hard but also enjoy what they do. Overall, it’s been an amazing place to start a sales career and build a strong foundation. The skills, relationships, and experience you gain here can set you up for success in future sales roles as well.

      Cons

      none! I loved my time here.

      Pros

      PHMG is a great place to breakout in a sales role and gain experience. They offer a 15 week training program called the Academy, where you get first hand coaching, product knowledge and training, and dive head first into an SDR role with constant feedback and support. You also get the commission you earn right away, with a lot of potential to earn extra cash and fun events such as President's club. I was able to attend after my first month and they really want you to experience the fun incentives. Once you graduate the Academy they move you over to a team on the senior sales floor where you still receive constant coaching and support. The team environment is motivating and keeps each day exciting. Everyone is always there to lift you up and keep pushing you to succeed. The culture and environment here is like no other and I was lucky enough to find some of my closest friends at this role. Definitely a work hard play hard mentality where we celebrate the small and big wins daily.

      Cons

      It is a grind, there are going to be hard days where motivation is hard. It is very metrics focused and you will be cold-calling all day everyday. Kind of the typical entry level role that comes with sales.
