      Pros

      -"work experience" for the resume

      Cons

      ***HAD TO CLOSE A CHICAGO BRANCH DUE TO POOR DECISION MAKING AT THE TOP -Horrible management -Base salary, benefits and commission structure are not competitive with other staffing firms -Recruiters are peasants. Sales is heavily favored even though it takes two to tango -Push people into sales too fast. A lot of good recruiters left because they were pushed into sales. ADVICE: If you start in recruiting, make a lot of placements so that when they push you into sales you have commission to last while you burn yourself out trying to bring in new business, otherwise you will be living off a $35-45k salary. -No transparency. People have walked away from big accounts and a lot of commission because the company is that bad. Do not tell their employees if people are fired or left the company on their own. If employees do leave on their own, management will smear them even if they made a bunch of money for the company -No diversity in the company, racial bias are huge with management. Sexist as well -Do I need to keep going?

      Don't work here!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You will meet some cool people, depending on the office. If you're lucky, you may get to go on a cool trip, or host some cool work events for clients.

      Cons

      1.Terrible pay. 2. Management says it's "wash, rinse, repeat" -no room for anything outside what they know, even though they will tell you to "think outside the box" LIE. 3. Management always blames recruiters for their pitfalls. 4. Management will tell you to come early and stay late, but does not do that themselves. 5. Drama. 6. No true training or process, they just hope you understand what you're doing, and if not, then tough luck. 7. If you're a woman, you're expected to get meetings because its apparently "not hard" for "pretty women" to get meetings. I could go on, but these are some of the first that come to mind.

      Pros

      Good culture of work hard- play hard. If you are aggressive, motivated, and act as a leader you will create not only a job, but a career for yourself in which you can be incredibly successful here.

      Cons

      The staffing industry in general can be difficult at times because your product is people.
