Pros
Responsive and communicative throughout the placement process
Helped connect me with opportunities I wouldn't have found on my own
Generally professional in initial outreach and coordination
Cons
The manager I was placed with created a difficult work environment—communication was inconsistent, expectations shifted frequently, and feedback was often dismissive rather than constructive
When the placement ended, the recruiter's support felt conditional; follow-up became less about problem-solving and more about assigning blame
Felt like I was expected to absorb workplace dysfunction without advocacy from the agency side
