Pros

People are nice and work life balance is good

Cons

The company has not been profitable for all of 2025 and they are laying off employees in masses. However, the layoffs are framed as "being fired for performance" due to the company not wanting to pay severance to their employees. Senior leadership is highly volatile and has no real idea or understanding of the work it takes to be successful and hit/exceed metrics in the current market. Many tactics and suggestions are outdated, such as attempting for a 75% in person meeting rate per week by the end of Q2. This is quite unattainable in a current workforce that prioritizes remote and hybrid work, while requiring current LHH employees to spend hours driving around their territory each week then scolding them on not being able to complete all tasks. I was "fired" last week for "under-performance", when my revenue and KPIs proved that I had outperformed the other new hire on my team by 305%. Though they were not let go and are still working at the company. The OTE range is highly suggestive as many sales executives fail to break $55k with salary and commission in their first 2 years. Leadership constantly hangs the fact that they can fire you at any time over your head resulting in a team with low morale and motivation. Tenured employees (anyone over about 4 years) at the company are highly favored and are not held to the same expectations and rules as new hires. They do not need to hit the same in person meeting numbers and constantly "fake" their numbers to submit to leadership. Overall, I gained good experience in sales. However, I would NOT recommend anyone to take a job here as there is little room for growth, promotion, or reliability.

Pros

There are absolutely no pros to working here. Not a single one.

Cons

Greedy company with greedy managers. People in management who have no business being in management. Awful team members. They hire to fire. Churn and burn culture. They have cut benefits over the years. Their compensation plans are awful. They use scare tactics and fear to force production. This place will drain you mentally. Their entire business model is aggressive sales and using both employees and candidates to their advantage. This company does not care about human beings. You are just a number to them. You will need therapy during and after employment. Recruiters are leaving in droves. It's so toxic. So very toxic. They preach about creating a beautiful working world, meanwhile, they do not provide that environment to their employees or their contractors.
