      If You Have a Conscience, Stay Away.

      Placement counselor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are cheap and not too bad. You get to work with people of similar experience level. Not much else positive about this experience.

      Cons

      Stride has terrible business ethics. You are told to make empty promises to both candidates and hiring managers. You are cramped with 6-10 other people in one room (depending on how many people have quit). Highly unprofessional attitude. You are promised 100k if you make it to Practice Manager and 150k for branch manager, but the actual salaries are much less.

      New Grads Look Elsewhere

      Senior recruiter
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Young office culture, making it a seamless transition from college - Constant training and upskilling

      Cons

      - VERY low pay, and terrible commission structure (I started a new job and made more commission in 3 months than I did in my 2 years at Motion) - Poor sales strategy and advice - You will be cold calling all day. They promise "hot" leads, but those are leads you generate and are still technically cold. - You will be siloed. When hired, you join a specific recruitment team under the guise that you become an expert in that tech vertical. If you join a bad vertical, you will struggle to get traction. Also, that means if you get a new client but they hire for someone else's market, you have to pass that to a different team and you get zero credit. They promise "cross pollination" between teams but again, if you are in a bad vertical you will get no pass overs. In 2 years I gave away 10+ deals to other teams, and got 0 back. - Micromanagement is crazy. Two check-in meetings per day to discuss progress, what you've done, and what your plan is. They track your numbers like crazy. I thought this was normal until I left and realized it is possible to be treated like an adult.
