Pros

- The office co-workers/recruiters were awesome. If it weren't for them, I would not have stayed. Period.

Cons

- Training was terrible. Received two weeks of role playing on the phone. My regional mgr went on my first three appts and I was by myself after. - Seems like every employee has a different pay plan. - Commissions are terrible (don't rely on them) - Micromanaged from higher up - Unrealistic expectations (KPI's) on weekly basis as well as having the same type of activities for each market when they are all different. - NO JOB SECURITY, they will fire you without hesitation or disciplinary action if you give her the slightest bit of doubt. They will fire you even if your a producer which makes no sense. - Extremely high turnover - Terrible benefits. Paid $500/per month on the cheapest HMO medical - Unobtainable budgets that you have to meet - Constant changes within company as well as their expectations for you - Old school methods of sales training - They talk about advancement opportunities when in reality, the regional managers are doing the same job as the sales force and not actually managing.

Pros

•Full Time •Easy work •Solitary work

Cons

•Pay discrepancies, location had 3 other staffing agencies there all at different pay for the same work. •Team leads never communicated leading to confusion on proper process for each project when things changed and/or Lead would explain to 1 person but not the whole team which would cause mistakes and more confusion. •When you did bring up pay to the agency (especially once trained in multiple stations) recruitment will ignore your emails/texts. •If you have any health issues, that could be a problem if one needs to call out more than usual. Could lead to termination w/o understanding.
