Pros

I have been in recruiting for 25 years and an employee of first Pro for the last ten and can tell you without a doubt that it is one of the only firms I am aware of where your earnings are uncapped and you are given a tremendous platform to be successful. The truth of the matter is when you read the negative reviews about First PRO they are written by overwhelming under performers who take zero responsibility for their failures! There are no religious undertones and being a completely secular person I have NEVER in ten years felt pressure or be made to feel uncomfortable with anyone's religious beliefs! It is a place if you work hard and perform you are rewarded handsomely and given given every opportunity to grow financially and professionally!! The owners are two of the most generous people I have ever met and know that in times of great distress that both would be in my corner and I know I could count ion in times of need!

Pros

Small Company environment. Good office location.

Cons

1. Management Relationships: It has come to my attention that there is a personal relationship between the owner and a lower-level employee, which raises potential concerns regarding professionalism and workplace dynamics, particularly given the significant age difference. This situation may inadvertently create perceptions of favoritism within the team. 2. Leadership Competence: There appears to be a lack of direction and understanding among upper management regarding effective operational practices. This has led to a workplace environment that can feel disorganized and unstructured. 3. Work Environment: The overall atmosphere may be likened to a "small-town" mentality, where casual interactions often overshadow professional standards. While a friendly environment can be beneficial, it may sometimes result in a lack of accountability and seriousness in business operations. 4. Training and Development: There seems to be a significant deficit in training for employees, particularly in areas such as sales techniques and recruitment processes. Current management practices do not seem to prioritize employee development, with an emphasis placed on external events instead of investing in the workforce's skills and resources. 5. Performance and Advancement: It appears that employees may feel compelled to engage in excessive flattery to secure their positions, which can undermine a culture of meritocracy and professional growth.
