- Potential to earn management if you manage to brown nose the right people - Good corporate events - Good clients (despite the fact they hunt from them also resulting in losing clients)

Cons

- Red tape upon red tape - Micromanagement to every degree - Appauling work/life balance - New initiatives being rolled out adding extra layers to everyone's process slowing everything down meaning you have to stay longer to get things done - No overtime pay - Favouritism

Great communication with you and the clients

Pros

Aston Carter provided excellent opportunities for professional growth, career progression, and leadership development. I had the opportunity to work with some of the largest healthcare and insurance clients in the country, build strong client relationships, and lead high-performing teams. The company offers strong training, a collaborative culture, and a performance-driven environment where hard work is recognized and rewarded. I was fortunate to work alongside talented colleagues and supportive leaders who helped me grow both personally and professionally.

Cons

Like many staffing and recruiting organizations, the environment can be fast-paced and demanding, with a strong focus on metrics and performance goals. Work-life balance can be challenging during peak periods, and processes can sometimes vary between offices or leadership teams. However, these challenges also create opportunities for growth and development.
