Pros

-decent commission if you have a good month

Cons

-all of their upper management staff are from out of the country -ZERO room for growth -you will get micromanaged like never before -personally, I had a manager who wouldn't stop talking as he sat right next to me so couldn't get work done -they spend 5 minutes interviewing a candidate then send him to a company and expect $20k fee. There is literally zero value in Hays Services. This company is the definition of throwing dirt at the wall and praying to god it sticks. -they will only give a 3 month guarantee period, then will head hunt their placed candidates 4 months in so they don't have to refund the clients

Pros

Great place for new recruiters to gain experience. A lot to learn. Younger crowd, fun teams.

Cons

Competitive, people that weren't succeeding would be put on PIPs and eventually let go. Can be some micro-managing. Not all managers created equal - some great, some not so great.
