Pros

Great training structure, but that’s probably about it.

Cons

- Long hours, which are the norm in recruitment - micromanaged - management are always breathing down your neck not giving you a chance to be independent and grow. - favouritism - even if you’re making money for them, they still have their favourites who practically don’t do anything and yet still get promoted! - No support when needed. - No professionalism, management discuss your personal information with other colleagues and before you know it everyone knows your business. I’m sure not all branches are the same, but there’s definitely a lot of this going around.
