Pros

Lax dress code, helpful employees

Cons

OMG, where do I start! They dont really set you up for success here. They want you to do 100 phone calls (dials) a day to candidates but they make it impossible to do that with all the inefficiencies in the process. First of all, there are way too many meetings and webinars. Then they want you to send emails after every call, print out resumes for everybody youre gonna call, toggle between multiple systems to make a bunch of notes, do employment verification for every candidate, and check against your data to eliminate redundancies. Then they wanna sit in front of you while you call people and thats extremely irritating. Im a professional recruiter so I know how to talk to candidates. They put too much emphasis on "selling" the position to candidates. Sorry, but money talks and BS walks and you will attract good people if the dollars are right! Everything is numbers, numbers, numbers with these people. They focus way more on quantity than quality so I dont feel I'll be successful here. And...I know my teammates hate me for holding up the meetings and asking a lot of questions but I dont care.

Pros

Virtual, work from home position. The pay was great, the hours were great, they work with you and are very flexible, can always pick up shifts if you have under 40 hours, (you're scheduled 40 hours but if you miss a day that week) you can pick up another shift from the board

Cons

There aren't any cons that I can think of at this time.
