Tough environment, not for the faint of heart. - Recruiter Insight Global Employee Review

Pros

From the outside looking in, the company does reward success. You are required to take it upon yourself to go the extra mile before and after work for "role-playing" to develop your salesmanship and company pitches which means you can advance as quickly as your skills allow it. It is a very fast paced and stressful environment - some people thrive in that kind of a scenario.

Cons

When I left, I found a seating chart buried in a stack of candidate profiles that I had made for myself on the first day. Of the 12 fellow Recruiter 1's in the Pit with me on that first day, one was promoted to a territory 75 miles away, and all but 2 had quit. The recruiter role is pretty much telemarketing without a script. While there are some opportunities to move up in the company, you can easily hit a glass ceiling in a more settled city area. Management was prone to obvious office politics (picking favorites, etc). It a tough environment with some serious micromanaging tendencies. Management will try to keep your energy up with gimmicks like races, but all that really does is just add to the stress-level of stressed out employees.

Pros

The individual contributors and the endless amounts of budget for campaigns tools and resources. A great place for marketing creatives looking to do just that, create.

Cons

Leadership served themselves, not their team. There's 0 structure with no marketing KPI measurement or revenue attribution to show the ROI. Everyone always seemed so busy but nothing was getting done to show the impact marketing had on the businesses bottom line. Not many wanted to do the work to build the department to any potential, half of marketing doesn't even work under marketing which promotes vast misalignment. Just resources begging to be used and a bleeding advertising budget. It has a ton of potential, but I watched the few who could have changed it all leave over the frustrations of leaders only concerned with their own self preservation.
