Continue to offer the opportunities for growth but improve the compensation and commission structure. People need to be able to earn more and earn more faster to continue to stay motivated to produce.

Cons

Staffing is a tough industry with lots of ups and downs, but the constant challenge is also what drives many.

Advice to Senior Management

Continue to promote from within and maintain the work/hard play/hard attitude that we all know and love. Set goals that seem unattainable and consistently blow them out of the water!

Pros

Brooksource has experienced tremendous growth since I began working with the company 7 years ago. We have opened 10 offices and added over 100 employees since I started. Leadership is never satisfied with “as is”, so I am confident we will continue to grow at an incredible rate.

What I love about this company is that although we have grown so much the last 7 years, we have never forgot what makes us great: developing our people, entrepreneurial spirit, and having a company where every employee feels part of a family and has fun every day.

The future holds unbelievable opportunity for this company and I’m thankful every day I can be a part of it.

Cons

Brooksource is not for everyone. We are looking for leaders who are ready to take on large changes while being fairly new to the professional world.

Advice to Senior Management

Continue to look for the next challenge like you have since I started. I've had a great expereience so far, so please keep it up!

Pros

My coworkers are my friends inside and outside of work. My manager is approachable at all times of the day. The President and CEO of the company has personally sent me a hand-written letter of encouragement. I love to go to work everyday!

Cons

Recruiting is a challenge no matter who you are working for, but that is about as negative as it gets.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep it up!

Pros

It all starts with the culture. The people that work here are phenomenal, so coming into work is a pleasure on a daily basis - even on days when tough meetings or calls are waiting. We genuinely want each other to succeed, and we celebrate each others' success.

Career growth and advancement: there are no limits on where you go with or how you build your career at Brooksource. Senior management is open to new and creative career paths, and you are constantly exposed to the different business models practiced by clients. Working at Brooksource provides an amazing education in business, management, and organizational culture.

Cons

One of the strengths of our company culture is that we're all given the lattitude to learn from and make our own mistakes. Sometimes this becomes a negative though when working with overwhelmed or unproven colleauges (in either recruiting, account management, or mangement roles).

Advice to Senior Management

Great job establishing a learning culture. It'll be a constant battle to make sure that employee satisfaction is as high as possible, so please never get tired of that fight!
