Pros

The recruiting staff around me seemed great - very kind, fun and helpful.

Cons

- Values / Morals: The leadership team focuses on the best ways to make themselves and the company money, and does not truly care about the candidates and contractors that they represent. The staff is taught how to charge more money, and pay contractors less. If you're in the staffing business for the right reasons - to help individuals with their job search and to aid in identifying the next best move for their career, then the nice paychecks will come naturally. - Very poor leadership and unhappy staff. - Extremely high turnover ratio - for a reason, not because of the industry standards. - Leadership decides on your commission with each deal, and has the right to keep your commission for themselves.

Pros

Not enough data to appreciate any upside; co-workers seem nice and many were Jr., implying preference for fresh meat and high turnover.

Cons

First, they seem to come close to meeting my base and I accepted on principal. However before starting, I was advised that their actual compensation is actually all on commission and the base is actually a non-refundable draw that is applied against 50% of your "base" and all commission are held for the first 6 months; 100% after 1 year. Why not just be up front with that. A bit of a bait and switch hiring practice. Had to do required online training that was voluminous, took 8 days to complete. Placed someone within first week going live and all the team leads we're kvetching about we're how many calls I made and overall "numbers". After less then two weeks live! Online training does not even go over their CRM workflows, you have to ask busy people under their own gun, how to properly record and execute a submission. Training mentor was mostly hands off and addressed me as if I was right out of college rather then Sr. Recruiter. Tried to do everything for me and get it out of the way rather then guide through a cumbersome submission process. The fixation on meeting their overall submission numbers was more important then actually filling their clients needs in a manner that flew in the face of their metrics, i.e. X amount of average submissions ='s placements/revenue. The metrics do not really apply to human capital management so it,s basically a "coverage shop". Good luck meeting your compensation goals if you have to submit the first available candidate, as opposed to seeking the best candidate. Rates are low due to SLA's, so getting someone to take the role or be retained over the duration of the contract is a crap shoot. Be prepared to work with a lot of 3rd parties and a 4 month ownership rule in this crowded field of recruiters, where another recruiter can block your submission or you have to split a low margin.... Walmart Body shop...:-)

Pros

Remote work (which has now been modified for certain roles)

Cons

- Blatant favoritism. Leaders will ignore emails and contact from associates while responding and publicly answering to others. - Racially biased senior and executive leadership and their rumored participation in racially motivated hate groups. - Below-average pay across the organization -Awards to pacify associates. They will let go of top performers and award earners with little to no explanation or warning. - High turnover - Severance packages based on a "program" instead of your impact or your contribution to firm growth
