Pros

Good training ground for those who are new to recruitment good working environment; if you do not have a family; no friends; no loveones; nothing better career to get into

Cons

staff is treated as a company furniture; no life; no room for creativity; staff comes and switches on their robotic monotonous life; every single seconds you have to please your upper management; no value for work but have to think of upper management, i.e. AD, MD, and above > this is the company where you do not have to think, just deliver them the numbers, per seconds, per day, per week... > KPI is more important than revenues

Pros

If you hit or exceed your targets- you can earn comission. Great work life balance.

Cons

Can be quite tedious depending on the market- mine was not developed at all. The job was sold to me as if there would be a lot of big clients etc- in reality there was only one or two. I was cold calling at least twice a week, adding new contacts to the system and sending speculative CV's all day. Boring role- and tough market. I learned all I had to learn in 3 months- after that its just pure luck, hoping that the CV you chose to send to a person would be noticed.... if you don't hit financial targets, you will be sacked so be wary
