Pros

-The people by far are the best reason to work at Softworld. Everyone is nice, smart, and always willing to help. -Competitive base and commission plan that exceeds industry standards. -Diverse set of clients from SMB to government contractors. -Laptop, wireless headset, great software and infrastructure support with cutting-edge web-based ATS

Cons

-The hours. Employees are strongly encouraged to work nights and weekends regularly, which is typical of the IT staffing industry in general though. Just know what you're getting into if you want to earn $$$ -The sales people could work better with recruiters to "fight" for their candidates and push back against clients to better qualify requirements rather than just "taking an order." -Too many meetings and time spent on administrative work (e.g., formatting resumes to perfection). -Lots of micromanagement, too much metrics tracking and unrealistic individual goals pushed by upper management.

Pros

Softworld was very aggressive in finding me a job. They gave me good support in advance of my interview. Once I got the job, they kept in touch to make sure I was all right for the first few months.

Cons

When the Government came out with the Sequestration, I made it through the first round of cuts. I lasted another 3 months before I was let go. I told my contact at Softworld with a month's notice, but did not receive any help or feedback.

Pros

Great Staff that is very helpful and willing to assist you when called upon Great compensation plan

Cons

Feedback takes too long and the Sales Team is real passive Top recruiters have been there between 8-10 years and they are only billing at $10/k You end up trading time for money
