Pros

Wish I could list one..

Cons

Average pay for Long Hours, Expected to work 8-5:30 - staying until 8pm some nights " just because " and You are looked down on if you dont stay( my manager told me not to make plans as we had to stay back and dial canditates) - They said its training but they throw you on your own on the first day. They tell you that you are an EXPERT on your first day ( even tohugh you really have no idea and expected to act like you know more then the actual qualified people you talk to ) If teh candidate has an accent then the girls will gossip about that person .The horrible gossip and culture that surrounds this company is the reason I left and will never look through Hays for a job ever. Horribe office culture, The amount of FAKE jobs i created is crazy! Horrible place, horrible people. good luck to you if you decide to work here.

Pros

Great place for new recruiters to gain experience. A lot to learn. Younger crowd, fun teams.

Cons

Competitive, people that weren't succeeding would be put on PIPs and eventually let go. Can be some micro-managing. Not all managers created equal - some great, some not so great.
