Pros

Excellent training / sales and language training Easy to onboard and start working Great place to learn the staffing business (takes about 12-18 months to wrap your head around it) Friendly office culture

Cons

Management runs a true churn and burn - no one stays more than two years. Great place to start a career in recruiting, but worst place to stay in recruiting Management is very charismatic and will paint the picture of a future career, but growth is extremely limited if you arent part of the inner circle

Pros

Supportive team environment – After some early organizational changes, I’ve landed on a team that is collaborative, communicative, and genuinely supportive. Strong teamwork makes day-to-day work smoother and more manageable. Clear structure and processes – The role is highly structured, with established processes that help keep work organized and predictable. I usually know what my day will look like, which helps with efficiency and work quality. Process-driven culture – When processes are followed, work flows well and expectations are clear. This creates consistency and accountability across the team. Internal mobility opportunities – When positions open up in other offices or departments, internal employees are often considered first, making it possible to explore new roles within the company. Stable day-to-day responsibilities – The work is consistent with manageable challenges, which is great for someone who values routine and clarity in their role.

Cons

Frequent layoffs – The company has a pattern of layoffs occurring once or twice a year. Even highly tenured employees (15–25 years) are not immune, which creates ongoing job security concerns for myself and coworkers. Lack of transparency around terminations – At times, coworkers appear to be let go with little explanation, which can impact morale and trust in the company. Compensation imbalance – I feel like candidates and recruiters are often prioritized financially (bonuses, incentives), while operational support staff have no bonuses (unless you win an award) and minimal year-end recognition for the holidays.
