Pros

The only positive thing I walked away with was meeting amazing co workers who became friends.

Cons

First off, If you're looking to start a career in staffing be aware that competitors pay about $10K more per year for entry level recruiters. Their base salary is extremely low and their commission is low as well. In this workplace you are expected to sit at your desk at all times, avoid speaking to your co workers and be able to produce numbers in areas where you receive poor training. Poor training is due to the fact that there is high turnover and no leadership. Employees quit and get fired left and right. There is no HR department so if you would like to discuss anything you will do so with managers in the room together. Managers are family members so essentially if you displease one, you are on bad terms with all of them. There is so much mistrust between employees and management therefore I have seen and experienced a lot of drama! No matter the situation, they create drama. They have a common practice where they like to send employees "home for the day" and you will be demanded to write an email explaining why you want to work there. Their practices are unethical. Needless to say employees are treated like children where it's unacceptable to even take your lunch sometimes. Management's expectations are quite unrealistic where they set goals for the week, month or quarter but do not manage or train to accomplish such goals. At that point when they are displeased you are in for rude commentary and/or yelling from the owners. The most unfortunate experience here was seeing many good employees who are smart with great ideas, great work ethic and who are overall great people leave or fired because of the drama caused by management (family) and poor leadership. If you're looking for a career, this isn't the place to grow. The only positive thing I walked away with was meeting amazing co workers who became friends.

Pros

I have a hard time saying anything good about this place. If I had to say something, there was room to grow into different positions.

Cons

Small office space Toxic workplace Gossiping constantly about one another When I was given something to do with socials, I was told Im not doing enough for recruiting. Would switch to solely focus on recruiting and then told Im not doing enough for socials. I was always put in a lose lose situation with what was expected of me in my job. I was threatened over a parking space. When I tried talking to management I was dismissed. Unprofessionalism, coworkers would openly talk bad about candidates. With a small office space everyone can hear including people who came into interview. Highly disorganized I could go on and on...
