Pros

Somewhat competitive pay and an opportunity to learn a lot about the recruiting industry.

Cons

Branch management and area management is unprofessional, gossiping about everything behind closed doors and making employees feel uncomfortable to go to work. Upper management has extremely unattainable goals, and push you to work from 7:45 AM-6:30 PM Monday-Friday with little work/life balance. There is no place in the company where a hard working Staffing Consultant's opinion matter. In fact, they discourage you from making any constructive comments about how the dynamics of the office could change and make the workplace more productive, balanced and a better place to work. Hard working employees who are very good at what they do are fired left and right, because they are put into situations where they document something wrong and upper management uses it to their disadvantage. The documentation system is antiquated and has problems working half the time, and then the employee is blamed for it. And finally (I am sure I am leaving A LOT out of the picture), but management does so much micro-managing they barely have time to do their own jobs and look in the mirror to evaluate their management styles.

Pros

My manager was super supportive, kind, and a great leader. Working from home allowed me next level flexibility and incentivized me to work harder. Always got shoutouts in meeting for good performance.

Cons

Pay is a little low to begin with and you don't get paid for holidays in your probationary period.
