Pros

Great atmosphere and co-workers One of the top staffing companies Niche recruiting Good sales training Decent proprietary software to help recruit Base compensation and benefits are good

Cons

Hours are 8:30-7 if I remember correctly and only to 5:30 on Fridays You get a one-hour lunch, but not really (wink wink...work hard) Perform and hit your KPIs or else they will let you go in a heartbeat You get bonuses and not commission ($60K revenue per month, so if you are $58k, no bonus). If you do well, you can make more at other firms. Greedy managers who are transparent when looking out for themselves If you produce, they don't care what else you do Bad communication about department performance and adjusted expectations Inter-office trysts are commonplace

Pros

A really good place to work for young graduates and people with experience who want to move away a bit from the "corporate" environment (at least this was true under the former management. Quick initial learning curve and the chance to proof oneself in the field. Big billers are rewarded through a good bonus scheme (or so newcomers are told - however when compared to industry averages, Michael Page fares not so well). If you are tired of the big offices of this world and would like to escape to a place where the motto "work hard, play hard" is applied on a daily basis, this might just be the place for you.

Cons

To summarize just a few - inability of senior management to open up towards new ideas, excessive consumption of alcohol in and out of the office (and to make matters worse, people who do not attend these events are actually pulled up for this "lack of corporate spirit), constant lying to employees by their managers about promotion opportunities and bonus payments and the overall lack of an ability to communicate important information to the workforce.
