Pros

Pros would be a paycheck, insurance coverage, 3 weeks vacation from start-date, ability to learn about many different careers and meet new people. If your in-between jobs, could be a good buffer till you get to the next job. If you're interested in Recruiting, a great place to get a crash course and then move on to somewhere else. There are some good people who work here, they are just stuck like you and most aren't in leadership positions.

Cons

Horrible leadership, bad management, almost zero training, treat their employees like numbers on an excel spreadsheet, don't pay for parking ($200/month), old/slow computers, old/dirty/broken office furniture, sweatshop mentality... the people that have been there the longest make money because they lasted, not because they are talented, smart or worked harder. Zero mentors there. Lots of bullying. The draw system.. you need to book about $200K/year to actually bonus because you have to cover your monthly base salary in-order to bonus. Whatever you don't cover rolls over to the next month (like rollover minutes)

Pros

Not much to say here, unfortunately.

Cons

In the technology practice, the unwillingness to adapt to a rapidly changing market can no longer be ignored. Too many decisions continue to be justified by the mindset of "this is the way we've always done things," even when those approaches are becoming less effective or counter-productive. While competitors evolve their business models, recruiting strategies, and client engagement practices, continues to be reluctant to challenge long-standing processes and assumptions. The impact of this resistance to change is becoming increasingly visible in the market. Clients and candidates have more options than ever before, and perceptions of the organization are being shaped by experiences that no longer align with current expectations. Without a willingness to listen to feedback and embrace new approaches, there is a real risk of causing lasting damage to the company's reputation, employee retention, and long-term competitiveness.
