Pros
Very transparent structure to the career progression that is based on meritocracy which basically means you know exactly what you need to achieve in order to receive your next increment or promotion. This results in a very fair system and creates a consistent environment where you can progress your career based on what you do rather who you know! Uncapped bonuses makes for a very lucrative career for anyone who has a flair for sales and a strong work ethic, which means you are in control of your earning potential.
Cons
The pressure of working in a sales based environment will always provide it’s up’s and down’s however given that recruitment is fundamentally different to other sales role in that you are not selling an product (such as a car or a phone) it brings with it a different level of complexity and levels of pressure. An example being if you have secured someone a position but they decide to renege and accept another position a couple of days before they are due to start.
