Pros

They pay you well for over working you.

Cons

This company is poorly managed. Everything is micromanged no matter what your position is within the company. The problem is they hire people right out college who have no management experience and then promote them into managers. They waste more time have meetings about what you aren't doing right vs praising the good things that employees are doing. Every task is micromanged to the core. There is no work/life balance. Lunch time is not something that you will receive here. If you like being treated like a child and not a professional/adult then this is the right place for you. They set unattainable, unrealistic goals and when you don't acheive them, they will threaten your job. This company appreciates very little that you do for them. It's always about the next big sell. There is high turnover because of the poor management and micromanagement.

Pros

Excellent benefits, CEO of company is very approachable and encourages communication from staff. Employees are treated with a great deal of respect and are recognized for hard work.

Cons

Sales activities and goals are attainable, however their documentation system is somewhat tedious. The company has had some turnover and the CEO position has changed hands a lot. Think there are some kinks to work out, but overall still a great place to work.

Pros

The office building and accomodations were very nice. The benefits were phenominal and the base salary was good. I was able to meet great talent and learn a lot from those candidates.

Cons

There was absolutely no opportunity for growth and the turnover was extremely high. That particular office was set up to only allow one recruiter on the temp side to be successful. That recruiter was not only my competitor, but my manager. The company gave him zero incentive for me to do well, but ironically he had all of the control over my success. The office methodology was very transactional and my fellow associates lacked respect for one another. There were three offices within a fifteen mile radius and rather than going after new clients and candidates, an enormous amount of time was wasted on inter-company arguments about client and candidate ownership.
