Pros

Strong technology - Salesforce Fun people, personality wise Great team building activities outside of work

Cons

-Too much of a shark environment here. -Certain managers try to steal credit. -You have to watch out for other recruiters trying to be sneaky and steal your candidates, there is no real system in place to make sure this doesn't happen. -Other Recruiters can steal flips- again no real system in place to protect your hard work -Everyone is just trying to step on the next person to get where they need to be. -Constant fighting over credit... its exhausting. -Constant trainings from people who are NOT in production so they don't know what they're talking about. -Micro-management when it comes to KPIs and metrics -New Hire training is just a bunch of reading material... and trainings from people who aren't in production so new hires aren't trained properly. -Bonuses are affected by outside variables like candidates not showing up for work or client's backing out of a deal... so basically you work for free on those. -As hard as we work and as stressed out as we are day in and day out, there should be unlimited CTO - No Sick time awarded.. if you're sick you're forced to use your CTO. It should be separate.

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.
