Top heavy, lack of leadership, one main client

Pros

If you are willing to schmooze the right people, you can advance and give each other raises, unearned job titles and unlimited paid time away.

Cons

Its lord of the flies and the production team is in charge with little outside business experience or acumen. All success hinges on one main client, if that goes sideways, the whole company will fold.

Pros

Massively OVERpaid - seriously, pay was extremely good for agency recruiting with limited experience..take this for what you will, but it is a strong sign the company has no concept of basic financial concepts. Remote environment was okay, but little oversight comes with absolutely no training no matter how much you beg.

Cons

- I had 3 bosses in a year with 0 consistency. - recruiting managers will lie to you during phone screens to get you to come - take each promise from A.L, T.R, C.R, N.D or other interviewers with a grain of salt. For example, they tell you results matter more than metrics. This is a bald face lie. The whole company lives and dies by a performance matrix. I did a deal and was fired the next day due to metrics even after being promised at least a few more weeks. Fired without warning. - Sales people KNOW that the recruiting life here sucks yet allow it to go on - absolutely 0, I mean ZERO training here. I only found out about basic tools after BEGGING to be retrained - company will make legal threats against you for no reason - company is extremely slow to respond to unemployment and passes the buck - they ship you some of the world's worst equipment and then stick you with most of it at the end of your time there - literally, they send you junky Chinese headsets, mice, monitors, and a low end laptop and tell you the only thing to ship back is your laptop. They stick you with their literal ewaste. - recruiting leadership has extremely limited technical knowledge - company leadership depends on A SINGLE client for the absolute super majority of this business. That client goes down , the business is dead in the water. - the benefits are absolutely LAUGHABLE - senior leadership does not take ownership for their decisions - whoever hires you will 100% abandon you when they get their bag

Pros

Great people, decent pay, remote work.

Cons

Poor management and leadership. What used to be a great culture and employee friendly environment, has now turned into unrealistic metrics driven atmosphere. Managers make bonus on the front end numbers (subs and client subs), which takes the focus away from the true goal, that is to place candidates with the clients.
