Not part of the "in" crowd

Pros

Good Benefits. Fun corporate environment. Good ATS. Fun Training in Nashville.

Cons

If you are not part of the clique they don't really try to bring you in. Everyone in the office had been there for a long time, since the beginning, but they are very hard to impress. I felt like I could not contribute and felt stiffled at every turn. I wanted to take care of some Social Media and was told that i could not. i never quite got along with the "sales" team. She constantly spoke down to me like I was stupid. I have been recruiting for 10 years and was made to feel like I didn't do enough. They had the expectation of 25 in person interviews a week. Hard to meet that quota. And after I finally had 10 people on the books I made less than $200 in commission. For the base salary to be so low. To be able to actually make money was impossible. Maybe for someone just starting out

Pros

Every office is its own LLC so the treatment may not be consistant across the board. The corporate vibe is very positive until you get back home.

Cons

, but the office is very cliquish. If you weren't there from the beginning you are not looked at very highly. Constantly was talked down to and when I had ideas they were shot down. I felt often felt defeated and just gave up on trying. The comp plan was abismal. I have never seen splits like that before. Great if you are in sales not good if you are a recruiter. The sales gets 60% of everyone of your placements. You get 40%. Even though you are the one working your butt off for placements. The base pay was sub par for someone with experience. And example would be I had 15 people place and my commission was under 200.00 for the month. Not competative at all for the market. Secondly there is not any one to discuss issues within the office. There is no real "HR" that can deal with the interpersonal issues.
