Pros

Younger workforce. It's easy to find co-workers with similar interests. Room for advancement. New technology. Nice executive team. Fast paced environment.

Cons

Managers do not always have the best management skills. Training is lacking in this area. If you perform well you can be a leader/manager. It’s not so much based on your ability to be a good or effective leader of the internal team. Employees of the same level are not always treated the same or given the same tools. This is being improved upon but there is still quite a ways to go. Pay seems average to a bit on the lower end based on the level of responsibility. Lack of consistency across teams in regards to expectations.

Incredible company growth

Pros

The client teams take on the culture of their client making it easier to be invested in what you do. The proprietary technology and access to other tech is impressive. In many business units leadership is highly experienced and knowledgeable. The company has grown exponentially since its inception. Compensation is fair if not higher than average. You get what you pay for. PTO is good. 401k match returned and is standard. Training is available for just about anything. Want to be a recruiter...there is an internal university for that. There is a large remote employee base so you don't have to live here to work here. Transferring internally offers more learning and engagement if you are seeking that. There are many really good people who work here.

Cons

Benefits have decreased. In a company that supports a large number of healthcare clients I would expect better and less expensive medical insurance. There is a surcharge if you want to cover your spouse when their employer offers benefits. You cannot add additional life insurance units at open enrollment easily. STD is available but expensive. Work life balance is a challenge. Every client team is different and the contracts drive structure of the teams. Profit margins are expected to be higher than average. Teams are structured accordingly. High performing employees with high level of work ethic are burning out. Newly trained recruiters are less expensive and a potential replacement for the more expensive and experienced staff. Expectations for keeping up with technology and all the extras is overwhelming when the first priority is filling positions.

Pros

I have met some of the most amazing people in my time at Pinstripe. For the most part, you will never work with more passionate, hardworking, driven people. Employees refer friends, and because of that like-minded attitude and personality, everyone really succeeds and gets along, with the help and support of eachother on that level. Pinstripe also does well to provide excellent training in multiple HR areas. However, if you are on a team that is constantly underwater, good luck finding an hour to attend those trainings. Alot of people stay with Pinstripe solely because of the friends they have made. When you're not crying or throwing up in the bathroom, due to stress, its a fun place to be with people you genuinely enjoy being around.

Cons

You can forget about any kind of work-life balance. Depending on what team youre on, managers push an incredible amount of work from their plates on to recruiters' and TACs'. Because they basically groom people from entry level, they pay you a very basic low starting salary for Recruiters, because you dont know any better, or what the average is across the market. Those "substantial" bonuses they pay out twice a year.. Pinstripe is incredibly smart in the way its broken down. You get your review...3 months later you get your bonus paid out...then another 3 months later you get the next part of the bonus..and well, then you might as well suffer another 3 months for the rest of the bonus and so on and so on. Then you kick yourself for staying yet another year for a measly few grand, when you could be with another company making another 10K a year (or more), and not killing yourself for it. When you actually have a valid issue or want to discuss pay, workload, (the fact that people are crying and throwing up in the bathroom)...there's no one to go to. Your managers are overworked as well, and again, dont care because you're basically proving their poor management. The 3 people in HR could care less. They are Pinstripe puppets and are just astounded that you could ever think this place is anything less than the best place on earth!
