Pros

Great training materials. Limitless opportunity if you're hungry to be successful. Diverse employee population allows you to draw inspiration from different recruiting and sales methodologies. Inspirational senior leadership. Constant recognition for performing. Teams are always role-playing and providing new ways to coach and support each other.

Cons

I can't say that I disagree with any of the comments relating to gossip and cliques among the senior members... but I can ABSOLUTELY say that you get what you put in here. There has been a lot of turnover in the 6 months that I've been in the office but that is expected in an environment this large and competitive. The people in the Addison office are not vicious or malicious and I have not seen anyone leave that had a positive impact on the environment in any way other than profit. Stay out of the interpersonal drama and do your job and you'll be more than fine here. Looking forward to meeting new hires and working to inspire young recruiters in constructive ways for future retention.

Pros

Decent salary base, probably could be a really good paying job if the job market was better

Cons

Definitely a typical, corporate sales culture where you are defined by your metrics and your metrics only. They are money grabbers, and their commission structure isn't that great. After 2 years you lose 50% of your commission from contractors and they eliminated early release days before holidays. My office started becoming a "bro culture" and the leader was clearly trying to act like "one of the guys" with the males in the office. If your market is slow with reqs, they expect you to reach out to other offices for subs which is hard to do when other offices favor their own teams' recruiters. They'll likely give you a picked over req or one not close to the money that their own team didn't want to work on. I had to reach out to other offices daily to basically beg for a req to work on to hit my metrics. To add to it, the PTO structure for salaried employees is not how they described it when I joined. 17 PTO days total (including sick/personal time btw) and it is actually accrued throughout the year. I had to use PTO for sick time and a vacation, so when I left I had to write them a check for my balance! Talk about a way to really give someone the boot when they're on their way out the door.
