Pros
The recruiting managers and recruiters are all nice people and hard workers.
Cons
Upper management is demanding, aggressive, and use fear tactics as business practice. Executive team is disconnected from recruiting team, and from management, despite being in same office. There is only room for growth due to the massive turnover rate. Pay is low, between 30k and 32k for a recruiter. They prefer to hire out of college so they can churn and burn as business practice. A lot of turnover and stress. Often there is not enough work to go around, but quota stays the same during slow season. Management tends to push their staff further than they should, and then begin to regret it when people leave. This results in a free happy hour, quota promotion, or lunch to put a bandaid on constantly failing morale. Certain people in the office will flat out yell at or embarrass recruiters for things out of their control (no matter what you do, sometimes candidates do not show for their interview, emergencies are real things that account managers dont care about). This is only true for the corporate office, which seems to set a more aggressive standard and work environment. Hours are long, and even if you work more hours there is little recognition for accomplishments. I think the worst part of the position is the end of day meeting. It is essentially a public embarrassment of hard working employees in front of their peers, where you are criticized in front of everyone for your progress on jobs you are assigned. There is no advice given or direction for when you are struggling to fill a job, just account managers telling where they need coverage.
