Energetic hiring managers who thrive for a consistent process Tools to succeed such as ATS, Recruitment tools (LinkedIn Seat + other sourcing avenues) Company events Ability to work with all levels of Hiring Managers Jerry Springer like drama will keep you on your toes constantly!! You are living in a real life drama.
Cons
Micromanagement. 8-5pm regardless if you are salaried. Despite evening recruitment events, there was zero flexibility reciprocated. If you reported at 8:03am , 8:10am you are late. Want to leave the office at 4pm for an appointment? Submit PTO Sick? Too bad. Are you dying? Be harassed by HR Staff on what you where to work despite it complying with company dress code High turnover in HR due to toxic culture Want to work from home, even 1 day a week or when you are sick? TOO BAD! The best work is done in the office. Wonderful interview experience only to learn you were DUPED! You joined a horrible company.
