Pros

Perks like free snacks. Coffee. Nice office. Generally very little micromanaging. Good benefits, generous base salary especially for the industry.

Cons

The environment is not how it was sold during the interview. It feels somewhat cutthroat and I can’t speak for other employees but I feel that I cannot express my true opinions to management without getting negative reactions. An environment built on fear isn’t one that will keep your employees happy. I understand recruiting has its ups and downs but the environment needs to be more collaborative, less gossipy, more open. Most people are nice on the surface but seem to be hiding their true feelings underneath. I also have heard that the NYC office is completely disconnected from every other office, the commission structures aren’t even the same, little to no communication between offices. That does not seem like a business model that will last.

Pros

This is a company by recruiters, for recruiters. If you pick up the business (on your own) and work hard, there is a lot of money in this industry. While management has issues, there are some great people working here. If you make the right connections, you can learn a lot.

Cons

Roles outside of recruiters and favored management are not valued, change resistance is high, and there is a large gap between the corporate office and the satellite offices. Compensation is sub-par and the non-salary benefits are not competitive with the particular market I was in.

Thanks so much for writing in - as stated, we love feedback from our employees. We are sorry that you felt that our compensation and non-salary benefits were not competitive, we actually constantly hear the opposite. We are slowly but sure embracing the evolving technology and ideas that are disrupting the recruiting industry but will continue to be better with it. We wish you the best of luck on your future endeavors.
