Pros
Hays was a decent recruiting company. Their training program was thorough and extended over months/years. This is probably the best setup for someone new getting into recruitment.
Cons
Culture: Irate managers who are self-serving. Consultants fight over 'ownership' of candidates and this leads to division within teams and between teams. With the number of young consultants, it felt like an extension of the toxic environment that university parties are known for. Promotions can be discretionary (contrary to what's written in the 'contract to promote')
