Pros
At The Intersect Group, I was fortunate enough to make some AMAZING friends. I was also able to speak with great candidates whom I truly cared about. There were goals set out, and if you needed help location managers were always willing to help. Note: "goals" were also the expectation and there is no bonus or reward for meeting said "goals". Managers were present and available for help at all times.
Cons
Every single day and week was the same thing. There is TONS of internal competition, which leads to an unhealthy team mentality. The commission structure is also extremely biased towards upper management. As mentioned above, there is no reward for meeting KPI's over and over again. If anything, the reward comes when you make a placement. You ring a gong (cheesy!!) and then go back to work. You may get an extra $40 or so on your pay check but that's it. If you do not care about diversity this my be the place for you! The entire leadership board is ran by old, white men. Additionally, they have an outdated sales tactic where cold calls take priority. You have to have an extremely thick skin to be rejected over and over again, all day (100 cold calls/day is the MINIMUM). They try to target huge companies who have no idea who the Intersect Group is. On the recruiter side, your job is essentially to get people's hopes up then let them down when the client does not want to interview them. Even with a robust pipeline of quality candidates, I was constantly telling amazing people that 1. I did not have a requisition that applied to their experience or 2. that the client is pursuing other candidates (with little to no feedback as to why). If you can, I recommend applying to internal recruiting positions where there is less competition and hiring manager feedback is easily accessible. Also, it is a FULLY in person role when you could easily do the same exact work at home.
