Pros

Large, stable company that is organized and operates ethically. I enjoyed the people on my team. While I think its tough to make a fortune as a recruiter (unless you luck out with the clients/skill buckets your assigned), its also pretty tough to completely fail there, and new hires are generally given a pretty long time to develop (for better or worse)

Cons

*Poor commission package for recruiters - I had 4 different comp plans in 4 yrs, each one a little worse than the previous and is the main reason I'm finally leaving the company *Unrealistic goals - maybe 20% of the recruiters/bdm's meet the actual minimums that are expected, and aren't in tune with similar sized competitors in IT *Over-organization, over-communication, over- analysis, coupled with almost as many middle managers as producers, makes it tough to get actual work done. If you like meeting about meetings, and trainings on things that have no relevance to your job, this is the place *Upper Management is rarely heard from besides a few mass emails, and inspires little confidence when they are *Once we went to centralized back office model, the support is an absolute nightmare. Every placement I've made has been danger of delay or non-starting unless I've stayed completely on top of the process, and costs valuable recruiting time

Pros

Salary was reasonable. Recruiter was friendly.

Cons

Worst work experience of entire career. 1) Experis cannot be trusted regarding start day. Which means your salary for the overall project is not your salary really, because you might end up donated days or even weeks to them, because of sitting at home earning nothing during their delays after clearing your calendar for them. Do not trust them on this. Their acting like the delays weren't taking money out of team members pockets was a sign of things to come. 2) Team did not have working computers for almost a week, which was a very big deal given it was an eight week project. There were surreal exchanges during this period where the project manager wanted everyone to take a blood oath that no one would miss their deadlines, despite note having access to the clients systems or even having email. 3) The team manager was thoroughly miserable. The worst manager I've ever been managed by and one of the most disagreeable human beings I have ever crossed paths with. Forgetful but suspicious. It’s one thing if someone is forgetful; there are ways to work with someone who is merely forgetful. But someone forgetful but suspicious? Another thing altogether. Controlling but condescending. Distrustful but lazy. Unfair. Deaf. Unproductive. Rigid. Counter-productive. Unhelpful. Undercutting. 4) Experis agreed to a ridiculous schedule. They got paid, the team got reamed day after day. Schedule was never truly adjusted for delayed start or delayed computer access. Crazy thing is, the project was fairly successful in terms of what it produced. Yet, by only the second or third day, it felt like failure day after day after day. 5) Oh yeah, they can't be trusted about end date either. I was fine, but other team members got cut before their time. Note: Experis is owned by ManPower. Wish I had known this before accepting project (their client was so prestigious, stupidly didn't think twice about accepting).

Competitive remuneration, benefits and good work-life balance backed by a solid company willing to invest in its personnel and practices.

Infrastructure can sometimes be a bit of an issue.
