Pros

Great Branding Decent Commission plan Well respected global branding and marketing Training for new people

Cons

Micro Management is how the organization runs - typical "trust no one we hire" None of the leaders are true sales people - of your going into sales your are dead here 90% of clients for Hays will never get approved to do business with AR team are like debt collectors - will harass clients to pay like they owe child support...hence why most clients are not repeat customers

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.
