Pros

Good tools, very busy and very fast paced. Performance driven business so if you don't bring in money they really look down on you but there are cool people to work with. Lots of hard workers.

Cons

Very toxic environment that trickles down from unprofessional managers. Lots of talking behind people's backs. They'll say they have a very open management style but they are very rude, and they encourage gossip. High turnover. Understaffed.

Pros

Great training curriculum and infrastructure in Hays. Commission scheme is decent but not fantastic as compared to competitors.

Cons

Hays has its culture and it's not well accepted by most. It's more of a "winning" cult. Terrible management team and are extremely biased based on personal results. Merits don't exist in this cut throat culture. It's either the management's way, or the express way. Forget about career progression if you are either not billing the most or you are being favored.
