Pros

There are some benefits to working here hence the 2 star review. The employees are great! The environment is like a family atmosphere where everyone bands together against the tyrannical abusive boss. There are many free lunches and happy hours to make up for severe lack of pay (mainly used as tax write-offs by upper management). Potential to make huge amounts of $$ if someone quits (they will) and you receive their work and close deals quickly enough to bring your percentage up.

Cons

Hours are standard 8 am to 9 pm and you work M-S. Hours could be less if a good chunk of the day was not dedicated to hitting numbers: 100 calls, 2 hours of phone time, 200 emails. While named "old school recruiting tactics" in the office, they are actually called SPAM in real life. High pressure sales tactics are used against both sides and you are conditioned to lie to everyone. Candidates, companies, and even bosses; there are lists of fake numbers in the office to bring call numbers up to where they need to be. You will be micromanaged to the degree that a camera is on you every minute you're in the office. You will be called and yelled at if you set the phone down. People are made fun of by the CEO like school children through name calling until they quit. Commission structure goes like this: You start at 2% when you close a deal and start working your way up month by month while building up draw. Prepare to not make any more than your $2k base for around 6 months (or more). At the end of the day, Motek and Sandhill are the recruiting chop shops that give actual decent recruiters a bad name and should be ashamed of they way they do business.

Pros

Working at MoTek structures you to be competitive, have quick wit, be sharp in sales, and set you up to make good money. Most people are used to working in companies that have leads and supervisors, to shield the owner's expectations. Jerald is hands-on, which can be an advantage to those who are interested in advancing to become successful. Not everybody is able to keep up the pace, or have the entrepreneurial Spirit to withstand the process.

Cons

You have to put in hours in order to make the money. This will cause you to compromise with other areas of life. Depending on how important success is for you, some might not be able to make this transition.

Pros

I’m very thankful to have able to work for Motek Technologies. It is one of the best places I have ever worked at. If you are a serious recruiter, who wants to build a stable career and make 6 figures annually, Motek is a great company that allows you to do so. If you are a hard worker, you will be rewarded with a generous commission and added bonuses, just some of the few perks at this company. We have some of the most knowledgeable recruiters who have consistently showed they can close deals on a regular basis. The environment is comfortable to work in. The CEO Jerald is humble, kind-hearted, honest and loyal. He stands by his word. He has been in this business for almost 2 decades and wants others to follow his success and build successful careers.

Cons

There is a lot of work that is required to be an exceptional recruiter. That is expected in any sales environment. Many people have come to Motek and made more money than they had ever made anywhere else, and yet after a short while they became greedy and careless. Just like in any fast-paced work environment, do not get too comfortable, because there is a possibility of being replaced.

Thank you for your hard work and dedication. I know that if you focus on your "professional goals", you will also hit all your "personal goals". To be able to do "whatever" you want, "whenever" you want is the reward for hard work. Keep grinding, and may all your dreams come true :-)
