Pros

Good opportunity to build a career, hard but very rewarding work with great bonus and incentive schemes. Ok basic salary but good commission structure to encourage you to be proactive and allow you to earn more commission. The more you put in the more you'll get out.

Cons

Long working hours. Can be demoralising when things don't go as you had planned but that's part of the job.

Pros

Great place for new recruiters to gain experience. A lot to learn. Younger crowd, fun teams.

Cons

Competitive, people that weren't succeeding would be put on PIPs and eventually let go. Can be some micro-managing. Not all managers created equal - some great, some not so great.
