Pros
The only pro is that it is remote work with flexible-ish hours.
Cons
They are terrible at compensating employees for their hard work. They find ways to slow down paying for work completed, healthcare provided is expensive and awful, and they care about making money for the private equity investors and the management team. It is the worst example of the patriarchy with a "bros" mentality - "winning" "making the play" "taking the shot", etc. - they could care less about their clients and just about the amount of money and up-selling/cross-selling they can do. They want to be in the top 5 of recruiting firms but they never will get there without completely changing the culture and actually understanding what makes a good placement for both the client and the candidate. Worst work experience of my life.
