No encouragement from leaders - work 50+ hours/week and get told you aren't working hard enough, poor compensation, only get paid 2 hours for overtime per week (no matter how much you actually worked), horrible managers who try to instill fear instead of encouragement, leaders are very quick to jump to conclusions and will bite your head off instantly without having a conversation, they do not promote out of hard work and to those who deserve it but promote those who whine and cry their way into leadership positions, Rookie of the Year doesn't go to "rookies" but to those who have been there for multiple years, unprofessional HR - instead of handling the situation they just pass the problem back to your manager and make the situation even worse, insane work environment with coworkers throwing stress balls everywhere (and hitting you) and insult you (which management doesn't stop), expected to be in by 7AM and to not leave til after 6PM even though office hours are 8AM-5PM, lots of cliques making new recruiters feel unwelcome and left out, 100% sales (unlike what they tell you in the interview process), high turnover, you will get scolded for PTO in your first year (including time off for funerals...), extremely number-driven (and if you don't hit your numbers, you will hear about it nonstop from your manager), managers are incapable of having a discussion with recruiters and instead send passive-aggressive (read: rude) emails and IMs.
