Pros

Wknds and holidays off, as long as you’re hitting your numbers.

Cons

All numbers based. They make cuts even when they know the economy is slower. Also, ITS A SALES JOB. I thought I was going to be recruiting and placing, but I also had to search for jobs to fill. It wasn’t what I was told when I was hired. Lots of mandatory meetings that waste the time when you should be prioritizing work. Lots of that fake salesman talk and relationships. They also lied and said we would stay remote. Then they had us in the office twice a week and then three days a week with no reason, no mentorship just remembering the past.

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.
