Pros

-Good payouts for senior people - Fun trips for high level producers

Cons

- Management is stuck in a time warp somewhere in 1995. Hell bent on micromanaging through a database - No focus on growing gross profit - Hired too many retreads out of Robert Half for management who are absolutely awful - Awful payouts for new people and management makes it next to impossible to make more money. They'd rather get you ramped up, let you leave and watch your gross profit go to the house for EBITA - What large staffing company gets rid of CareerBuilder???!!!!! - 15 different operating companies, none are on the same page. Various divisions that actually compete with each other rather than work towards a common goal

Good and bad

Pros

Well-known brand. Roles coming in from BD team and other teams all time which makes life easier. Depending on your market, the database might be very relevant and have lots of good candidates (depends on market though). Not overly-demanding on working long hours like other companies.

Cons

Hard to get on with the job - many many layers of management (mostly overpaid expats) who will do their best to drag you from your desk and interrogate you monthly, weekly, daily... Some managers really got nothing to do except create problems, especially those expat ones who no longer do recruitment and have moved into made-up roles. No chance of promotion unless you're in the right clique, despite what they claim.
