Pros

Commission structure can be generous.

Cons

Terrible culture. Very much the old-school "Butts in Seats" (one employee tried to leave 20 minutes early one day and was grilled on why he thought it was ok, even though he hadn't taken an actual lunch break all week) with a very heavy focus on metrics. They encourage the recruiters to try to "force" candidates to accept positions and to "force" candidates on the clients, with very little consideration of what was actually best for the client or the candidate. Very much a "what's it going to take to get you in this car today" mentality. They have also created a very punitive environment with a constant message of "you're not doing enough.. WORK HARDER" than celebrating, encouraging, or motivating employees. There is no collaboration, and communication with leadership is 1-sided.

Pros

There are no pros working here because management lies about everything, unless you are a mother, then management gives you some grace.

Cons

management has no management training or leadership skills ,low pay, absurdly expensive benefits, confusing commission that is not explained well, and questions are never answered, an uncomfortable work environment, resources are not provided to all recruiters, they tried to get me to pay for LinkedIn Recruiter out of my own pockets, they do not match market for compensation. Not a fair amount of time off for recruiters. If you don't have a kid and you want to take a sick day- it's an issue with the bosses. If you commute via train and you want to wfh on a snow day, it's an issue (although when they hire you, they tell you they are flexible about WFH). Recruiters do half of the Sales person's job and Sales gets all the compensation
