Pros

I had no previous sales/recruiting experience, but CFS welcomed me with open arms and provided the training required and tools to succeed. If you are the type of person who can work independently and are self-motivated, it is a great atmosphere, you will not be micro-managed which coming from a previous position in which I was, it was a breath of fresh air. They also have a company wide business casual (jeans) policy dress code. I also like that the VP's (Sr. Leadership) provide direct communication with all levels of employees, if you want to discuss a challenge you are facing, upper management welcomes a call and will take the time to discuss and work through it with you.

Cons

While you are provided a base salary + commission, there are no annual merit increases on your actual base (i.e. 1-3%) typically applied for inflation purposes.

Pros

CFS and Kelly Miller are the best! Kelly is the best "match-maker", always responsive, and truly cares about her clients and candidates. Kelly spends a crazy amount of time getting to know the client and all her candidates. She doesn't just "plug" a person into a job; she matches the skills, work-styles, and personalities. I have been expertly matched to two long-term assignments that were a perfect match of her client's needs and my skills. I can honestly say that those two assignments have been the BEST work experiences in my career; the second assignment turned into a permanent placement with a fabulous company. Win, win, win! As the saying goes "your mileage may vary"; the job market and economy may not always support your individual needs, and that is not the fault of the recruiter. The recruiter is not a magician, they are a partner in your job search. In my experience, be the hardest-working party in your job search. Polish your resume, polish your shoes, iron your shirt, bring your "A" game and present yourself in the best light; the next great opportunity might be just around the corner. If there is an opportunity that matches you, Kelly will find it. I highly recommend CFS and Kelly Miller.

Cons

No Cons, all experiences are positive.
