Pros

The office building and accomodations were very nice. The benefits were phenominal and the base salary was good. I was able to meet great talent and learn a lot from those candidates.

Cons

There was absolutely no opportunity for growth and the turnover was extremely high. That particular office was set up to only allow one recruiter on the temp side to be successful. That recruiter was not only my competitor, but my manager. The company gave him zero incentive for me to do well, but ironically he had all of the control over my success. The office methodology was very transactional and my fellow associates lacked respect for one another. There were three offices within a fifteen mile radius and rather than going after new clients and candidates, an enormous amount of time was wasted on inter-company arguments about client and candidate ownership.

Pros

Contracts your work to reliable clients and supports your efforts while under contract.

Cons

Automated job alerts can be too broad - based on one or two keywords in resume. At times job alerts are for positions that do not meet your qualifications or experience. But, this is not a dealbreaker. Keep on top of adjusting search parameters or type of work you seek.
