Pros

Fun people at times because most people are college aged (could also be a downside). The work sucks but you can trauma bond with your friends about it.

Cons

- You basically sell phone calls so understand that that's the job - Work is really repetitive and at times mind numbing - Senior management is incredibly out of touch with people on the ground. VPs worship upper management and its really strange and disconnected - Managers will micromanage you like no other. Understand that that is the type of working environment you are in - You are expected to work 8-6 (often staying later and responsive to emails/phone calls throughout the day/weekend) everyday. Fridays are WFH - Company is really inflexible. You have to always tell your team where you are/what you are doing if you are leaving your laptop (except to go to the bathroom). You are expected to log everything on your cal too - Over 50% of my starting class left in the first 8 months. They have such a retention issue.

Pros

Rapid Progression & Recognition: Performance is directly rewarded here. If you hit your goals and show drive, the path to promotion and career growth is transparent and fast. Strong Team Culture: The team energy is fantastic. Everyone is highly collaborative, supportive, and commercially minded, which makes for a great working environment. High Autonomy: From day one, you are given real ownership over your projects (like leading recruitment events, managing candidates, and driving partnerships), allowing you to grow your commercial skills rapidly.

Cons

High Velocity & Pressure: The work is very fast-paced with strict timelines and high-volume expectations. It is not a place where you can coast, and you need to be comfortable working under commercial pressure. Resilience is Key: Sourcing and recruiting require a great deal of resilience. You have to be comfortable with rejection and persistent in finding creative solutions to hit your targets.
