It's a Family

Pros

I absolutely love working at Vaco. Yeah, I'm biased because they are my current employer but I have felt like a family member ever since day one. Great culture, Pay and commission structure is awesome, I plan on staying here for the duration of my career as a recruiter.

Cons

There isnt a lot of structure, which may be a pro or a con depending on your style. Continuing education and 401k would be nice, but if that is my biggest complaint then its really not that bad.

Better than most firms

Pros

Vaco tries very hard to be better than other staffing firms. They do not treat their employees as disposable and openly say they'd like you to retire from VACO.

Cons

The culture varies widely office to office. It all depends on the local partners. Additionally, the offices don't really work together. It is a confederation of offices more than it is a national firm. Partners are more focused on producing than managing so very little strategic direction at the local office level.

Pros

A true sales culture from top to bottom, great coworkers, management enables you to be as successful as you're willing to be. No cap on earnings. Company events, office dogs, free snacks, annual trip for top producers to awesome destinations as well as an annual trip for training with the entire company. This is just a fun, genuine place to work.

Cons

No 401k match, otherwise it's awesome!
