Pros

If this is your first job out of university then you might get an idea of how to work in a very autocratic KPI driven business!

Cons

They are so focused on numbers (revenue, KPI's, the time you arrive and leave the office) it's forgotten about trying to actually provide a good work environment! Peoples glum faces as they sat at their desks making pointless calls to achieve KPIs so they can keep their job. Many sold the dream of making a fortune but really will never get there.

Good comp plan. Good management. Expectations and standards are high but achievable.

Job is very fast-paced, but that is to be expected at a staffing agency

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
