Pros
Great culture, coworkers, upper management, benefits. Everything is amazing
Cons
Don’t really have any negatives
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
My experience with Swoon has been nothing short of amazing. Firstly, the interview process was very calm. I had 5 total chats with members from Swoon. I would say that there 3 interviews total with 2 additional check-ins that were quick check-ins on how I was feeling with my recruiter. She was very thorough and extremely communicative throughout the process. Interview Process: 1. Phone Chat 2. Interview with Team-Panel (This may be different depending on role and specific team). 3. Panel Interview for Specific Team (Again this may differ for role and team.) First Month: I was able to fly into the Chicago for a week of onboarding. It was amazing! The team and team members were extremely inviting. We also got the chance to talk with recently hired Swooners and that was a very helpful piece in confirming that I made the right decision. Training has continued even remotely. There are constant chances to reach out to anyone on your team, another team or senior level management to have a conversation. We do company-wide weekly check-ins and Duck Days at the end of the month-where we play games. If you are a person who likes to be acknowledged for their hardwork this is a great company to be able to see that!
Cons
Currently there haven't been any cons. I am still a month in and so far no red flags.

- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
If you like to be rewarded for hard work, Swoon is the place for you. Swoon has great incentives, benefits, culture, commission, and people! Swoons entry level position is difficult. The first week might feel like you have never worked so hard in your life. The good news is, with the amazing support system around you, and the motivation that comes from wanting to push through, things start to make sense. Once things start to make sense, you will have a lot of room for growth. Leadership is always wanting feedback, speak up if needed!
Cons
recruiting is tough and not for everyone. If you are resilient, motivated, and positive, then this is the job for you.
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
They practically beg us to write these, no really the reviews are fake.

Decent growth potential if you can stick it out. Moving into a sales position is the best way to maximize earning potential. A good place to gain experience. President’s club incentive. Recently moved away from recruiting for entry level positions which can be a headache.
Cons
Really poor base salaries, not nearly competitive enough with the market. Lack of trust with management. Metrics are to be expected but Swoon’s are significantly higher than multiple more well established firms. Terrible turnover, and not the typical “to be expected it’s agency recruiting” turnover, but rather a red flag that something needs to change from a leadership standpoint. A constant expectation to work late or put in time on the weekends. Leadership runs around trying to preach work life balance, but will also praise employees that work on weekends on company wide email chains, the message gets lost and the delivery feels stale. 401K doesn’t kick in until 12 months.

There are times you work outside of normal business hours but that is expected with any recruiting role
