Pros

On the one hand, this employer can provide a wealth of experience, match a candidate with a good temporary position quickly, and provide a business network which the candidate can take with them, leveraging it to expand their career opportunities.

Cons

On the other hand, the company has a very competitive culture which tends to inspire placements that favor lucre over satisfaction. The staffing consultants are, without a doubt, out to beat each other to death in placements. This doesn't favor the job satisfaction of the financial specialists they're trying to place.

Pros

If and when you get training, it can be very helpful. but I got my "training" 4 months into the job. The pros are generally good people that work there, my team was great. If your manager is a good one, it can be fun and if you hit the goals, they will leave you alone to let you do your job. The database and CRM systems are very good and are very helpful in doing your job. If you have never been a recruiter, its a good way to get your foot in the door and learn recruiting and sales. Decent bonuses if you hit their lofty goals.

Cons

Unrealistic goals, incredibly unintelligent draw system and upper management that is so far removed from being on the desk. There is a reason the turnover rate is 54% +. I sat next to 11 different people in over a year and a half and it was double that on the other Dept. of RHT. The training is based on put you in the seat and see if you drown or not. They don't invest in their people. Most people get in and get the training and get out when they have some tenure. Please don't think I am a disgruntled former employee, I was above my numbers for the year when jumped ship. I just want people to understand the job.
