Pros
recruiters do a great job and your peers become your source of strength, your friends, and a huge comfort. They make the job fun sometimes. I've remained close with the friends I made while working at TransPerfect. relaxed dress code
Cons
low pay and very long hours Tense, stressed, and often hostile work environment poor management, bad communication and leadership You hear only 2 things from management: 1) you messed up, and you are getting a "verbal warning" ("you're inefficient" is a popular one, to demoralize their hard-working employees); or if someone is doing well, 2) you need to be taking on more work. (Simply meeting the demands of the job will not cut it. If you're good at it, management uses this against you to pile on more projects) Inflexible about vacation or time off. No lunch breaks. Office is drab, cheap, and in need of repair. Bathrooms are filthy. When working such long hours it would help if the place was less depressing, offered a cup of drinkable coffee, maybe even stocked the pantry with a few items... small price to pay to make employees feel less taken for granted.
