Pros

Recognizable brand that can boost your resume Exposure to clients across industries Opportunity to earn well during good months (not consistent)

Cons

Expected to post jobs even when no roles are open, leading to unnecessary overwhelm as recruiters field constant questions about fake postings Unreasonable daily metrics that make work/life balance nearly impossible Support from leadership disappears the moment business slows down Toxic positivity is pushed during obvious downturns, even as quiet layoffs happen in the background Gaslighting around performance and morale - told to “stay positive” while being micromanaged or iced out Advancement is driven more by favoritism and office politics than actual performance Leadership lacks transparency, especially around decisions that directly impact your role
