Pros

Virtually none that are related to the organization. However, the profession of recruiting isn't altogether negative. It's a good opportunity to positively impact people's lives by giving them access to newer/better career opportunities. My advice is to seek that profession at a different company.

Cons

Where do I start? -Management is not collective or collaborative. From manager to manager you will find completely differing opinions on what needs to be done and how. This trickles down to form a very disjunct community of frustrated people. -You are nothing but a number. One of my colleagues was let go because she needed time off when her boyfriend died in a car accident. They promised her position back when she was more stable. When she returned (2 days later...) they let her know that her position was no longer available and they essentially "didn't expect her to return". -Turnover is horrendous. Take this from someone who has been in sales/retail (high turnover roles) my entire career. I saw 90% of my team turnover in 3 months. Never to be backfilled. -I reported into 4 different managers in 6 months. -My metrics changed 3 times. -I received no training aside from 1 week at bootcamp to assist me in on boarding and ramping up. -Healthcare is expensive and provided by a carrier with high co-pay that is not readily accepted. -Management has no business development plan or market penetration strategy. Everybody is left to do this on their own which is incredibly inefficient.
