Pros
Great company to work for. The opportunity you receive to advance your career is high. If you put in the grind, it pays off. Within reason you’re able to do whatever you want to run your own business and partner with massive clients.
Cons
No cons, it’s sales and can be challenging mentally supporting clients.

Pros
Good benefits package. Their team is very supportive and responsive when you need assistance. They truly care about their contractors and plan fun group events to show appreciation.
Cons
No way to advance, very limited paid days off, and no way to earn paid vacation days no matter how many years you stay under contract.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Here at Brooksource, we strive to break the stigmas associated with our industry by using a relationship-focused approach to managing our consultants. We have found that by focusing on your needs, we can empower you to thrive. That is why we recognize six paid holidays for our consultants each year. All employees, including consultants, are eligible to participate in our 401K plan after one year of employment - if they have worked over 1,000 hours. We even match employee contributions; this match consists of 100% of the first 3% and 50% of the next 2% of your contributions. It’s for this reason that we love hearing your experience with Brooksource has been a positive one. We hope that you will consider consulting with us on another engagement!

Pros
Great people, the job can be high paying - but overall physical and mental health will be challenged

Management picks favorites. Pay is terrible for a base, only 5 holidays off, lots of after hour events

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and honest feedback! Although, we are disappointed to hear that it was a negative one. Culture is everything here at Brooksource, which is why we strive to create a welcoming environment where all our employees feel empowered to be the best. We say “strive” because as you have mentioned, our work is far from finished. Cultural changes take time, but we believe we are taking the right steps. This includes the creation of our employee-led connection groups, joined together based on common backgrounds, identities, or interests to provide a safe space for conversation and development. We have also expanded our benefits to include mental wellness coverage, additional PTO, and parental leave for all employees, as well as tuition assistance for those who qualify. These are just some of our latest enhancements! As we continue to grow, so will the type of support and assistance we provide to our employees, consultants, and clients. Thank you again for your feedback, as it is reviews like this one that help us better align our plans for the future with the needs of our employees!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Here at Brooksource, we strive to break the stigmas associated with our industry by using a relationship-focused approach to managing our consultants. We have found that by focusing on your needs, we can empower you to thrive. Unfortunately, there are some aspects of consulting that we cannot control. We do our best to ensure that we have new opportunities for our consultants after each engagement, but sadly that is not something we can guarantee. We can guarantee that we will be a lifetime resource to you and your career by alerting you of any opportunities when they arise. We love hearing your experience with Brooksource has been positive and we hope that you will consider consulting with us on another engagement!

- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Helped me with my interview, gave me work tips
Cons
They are dishonest, unethical, and stingy. Please don’t work here. They don’t have any PTO or sick leave until 1 year, will not pay you a fair wage, will promise people raises then not give them, and will threaten you. Brooksource workers claim they get the same benefits as you to try and sympathize with you but it’s a lie. They get more benefits, perks, trips, etc.

Pros
There is a lot of opportunity for growth both in compensation and career progression

They don't hire anyone from the outside and only promote from within. This is attractive to have a career ladder, but can cause for some narrow minded thinking at times
