Pros

Salary is good, but most areas will have a hard time hitting bonus. Training is good. The chocolates are good.

Cons

Disorganized. Sales people should spend close to 100% doing sales...not admin $10/hr work. They split up your role. 50% sales, 50% recruiting. That doesn't include all the time wasted with choppy tech, annoying admin work because most offices don't have admin support and "talent" issues. They use the term "talent" to refer to the candidates they hire to place with their clients. Most people they hire each week won't get a job, they are being used as a lead source so their sales people can learn who else is using staffing agencies. As a sales person you will be frustrated by the lack of focus on sales and most people quit after 6 months because they don't like feeling like they are in preschool. Yes, my grammar and typing looks like I am in preschool but I am typing this after everything was originally erased so I am trying to sum it all up.

Pros

Contracts your work to reliable clients and supports your efforts while under contract.

Cons

Automated job alerts can be too broad - based on one or two keywords in resume. At times job alerts are for positions that do not meet your qualifications or experience. But, this is not a dealbreaker. Keep on top of adjusting search parameters or type of work you seek.
