Pros

- Flex time when needed - Great sales and marketing training for entry level employees who want to make a career out of recruiting (#1 in the industry and they know it) - Tons of recruiting resources and corporate training sessions - Nice location close to Millennium Park

Cons

- It’s a sales organization, so lots of micromanaging re: hitting numbers and cold-calling clients. - Upper management is unprofessional and isn’t up to speed with new technology improvements. - Can be a catty/gossipy environment depending on line of business. - Environment gets roudy at times with people swearing/yelling in the office making it hard to talk on the phone. - Lows are very low in this job. If you aren’t hitting your numbers within your first 3 months, you WILL get the can. Lots of turnover here! - Overall, not worth going home everyday completely wiped out from mental stress. - They sell this job like you’re going to help people, which you do, but you quickly realize money is the main motivator in this culture/with upper management. - Not as ethical as they should be.

Great in finding contracts for contract workers. They got me a remote job that allowed me to work from my home in the Midwest for a job in California.

Pros

Hybrid, Good benefits/PTO, offered “competitions” for gift cards, cares about employees

Cons

As a recruiting manager, I felt that the pay structure was interesting with the base pay being a “draw” - meaning that you base salary is essentially commission paid to you in advance. So if you have some slow months, it rolls over and works yourself into a hole. I think it would be a better structure if it reset every month.
