Pros

Wknds and holidays off, as long as you’re hitting your numbers.

Cons

All numbers based. They make cuts even when they know the economy is slower. Also, ITS A SALES JOB. I thought I was going to be recruiting and placing, but I also had to search for jobs to fill. It wasn’t what I was told when I was hired. Lots of mandatory meetings that waste the time when you should be prioritizing work. Lots of that fake salesman talk and relationships. They also lied and said we would stay remote. Then they had us in the office twice a week and then three days a week with no reason, no mentorship just remembering the past.

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.
