Pros
Great news! If you are thinking about getting yourself into a career with Mondo, you will know exactly what you are (and aren't) getting yourself into after reading this post. Whether you are a recent college grad hungry for your first "real job", or whether you already have sales or recruiting experience, if you are looking to get your foot in the door with a large company growing at an exponential pace with endless opportunities for growth and success, you must look no further.
Pros:
1) Compensation. At the end of the day that's what it is all about, right? If you are starting as a recruiter or account director, you can expect to find a generous base salary, full benefits, and limitless commission potential. If you start out on the sales training program (ISAM), you will find yourself with a generous salary and opportunity to advance into the account director role.
2) Growth. 5 years ago the only office in the company was in New York. Today there are offices in New York, Long Island, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Boston, Chicago, Fort Lauderdale, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, and San Francisco. Our founder, Michael Kirven, has his eyes set on many more.
With a company growing at this rate - the opportunities are endless. We are always looking to relocate employees to new offices, so if you've ever thought about spending a year abroad to help open a new office, I can assure you that chance will be granted. Not only are we growing the offices in terms of locations, but we are also putting a lot of growth plans into the individual offices, so if your plan is to get your job at your local city and grow from ISAM to AD to Sales Manager or from Recruiter to Senior Recruiter to Recruitment Manager, those chances will be there.
3) Management. The expectations from upper management, although aggressive, are very clear and very fair. Furthermore, the company has monthly reviews with your direct manager so you always know where you stand as far as performance and you will always be on the same page with management.
There aren't enough positive things I can say about my recruitment manager in the Philadelphia office. We have been on the same page since DAY ONE, and as I have continued to improve and mature into a better person and recruiter, the professional relationship that we have continues to grow as she knows that I will always be doing what I am supposed to be doing and I know that I can always count on her whenever I need help.
4) Benefits. Full benefits are available to all employees. Mondo also has a tier-like process where the longer you work there the better your benefits are. For example, you will find some remote options after year 2, a sabbatical package after year 4, and very hearty bonus at year 5, etc.
Cons
If you are someone who is very career motivated and just looking for that one shot at a career that will reward you handsomely for all of your hard work, welcome to Mondo. But expect to find yourself in before 8, out after 6, and accessible after hours and occasionally on the weekends.
Bottom line, if you are hungry to bust your butt and make a ton of money for your company and yourself, welcome home. If you are just looking for a 9-5 job that will pay your mortgage and get you home in time for dinner and a move with the wife, then this is certainly NOT the job for you.
