Pros

You can work remote in some cases

Cons

Working remotely in this company involves micromanagement to a level I have never experienced. The workplace culture is characterized by cliquish behavior and toxic atmosphere. Management often employs passive-aggressive tactics. Worst of all employees’ actions are frequently scrutinized and questioned.

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.
