Tough environment, not for the faint of heart. - Recruiter Insight Global Employee Review

Pros

From the outside looking in, the company does reward success. You are required to take it upon yourself to go the extra mile before and after work for "role-playing" to develop your salesmanship and company pitches which means you can advance as quickly as your skills allow it. It is a very fast paced and stressful environment - some people thrive in that kind of a scenario.

Cons

When I left, I found a seating chart buried in a stack of candidate profiles that I had made for myself on the first day. Of the 12 fellow Recruiter 1's in the Pit with me on that first day, one was promoted to a territory 75 miles away, and all but 2 had quit. The recruiter role is pretty much telemarketing without a script. While there are some opportunities to move up in the company, you can easily hit a glass ceiling in a more settled city area. Management was prone to obvious office politics (picking favorites, etc). It a tough environment with some serious micromanaging tendencies. Management will try to keep your energy up with gimmicks like races, but all that really does is just add to the stress-level of stressed out employees.

Pros

Can make good money, your coworkers are great

Cons

- work 7:45-5pm every day and will be questioned if you leave early - "hybrid" is onsite mon-fri with no flexibility - management is absolutely insane in every way - zero diversity, only hire blonde women in their 20s - base salary is laughable and you will be making that for at least a year if not more - management will play favorites and that has a direct impact your paycheck - constant work drama - no rewards for hard workers - benefits are a JOKE - 401k match is $250/year, health insurance is terrible, and zero perks of the job
