Pros

The location is good. Base is decent. subpar benefits. Good PTO.

Cons

If you have no experience in recruitment DO NOT WORK HERE. Not only do they lie and say that they have “master classes” for training, they have absolutely no training at all and they all look at you like you have ten heads when you ask for help. Like you’re an annoyance. There are people who are there for 6-7 months still never knowing how to make a deal. Meanwhile at other firms people are making their first deal in a month. This is absolute NEGLIGENCE on the part of management and embarrassing for the company. They never explain to you that you are being paid ONCE a MONTH. I asked other employees about this and they were never told either. They love to bamboozle potienal canidates lying about their “amazing work culture”. You will work 10+ hours and they will make you feel bad if you need to leave after the 10th hour. There is no work life balance. 0/10 do not recommend. There are places with better salaries, better hours, better company culture, and great training. I found one, and so can you.

Pros

The job was okay and team was average. High pressure and NOT much flexibility.

Cons

Flexibility is limited. They promote flexibility and wellbeing, but expect you to work crazy hours and if you don't it's frowned up. Arrive 2 minutes late to work and they hold it against you. Have seen this multiple times. Management is very judgmental. They lack diversity and don't think this is an important factor. They talk and talk, but do not walk the walk.
