Pros

* Most people were "nice" * Occasional free meals * Decent Atmosphere

Cons

* A mom and pop show, they just don't know it * Poor leadership and management * Questionable business ethics * NOT team oriented * Lack vision * Big talk, very little behind that talk * Unprofessional * Zero vision * Coaches are untrained and unqualified (luck as a recruiter doesn't mean someone can coach) * Could be viewed as a 21st pyramid scam / sweat shop for recruiters * All of this will fly above the heads of the "family" leadership

Being a disruptor in the recruiting industry is an undertaking that requires vision, innovation, a willingness to take smart risks and the ability to build a talented, committed, hardworking team. It’s these characteristics that explain gpac’s success. Very few recruiting firms can tout the successes that gpac has and continues to achieve in our industry. It’s the vision and hard work of this family business that has grown gpac from a mom and pop shop of just a few recruiters to a thriving network of over 200 recruiters. Whereas many companies of this size have intense hierarchies, gpac members have unlimited access to leadership and the ability to tap into well over 100 years of collective recruiting knowledge and experience. What further sets us apart is that 80% of our deals are splits. This speaks to the power of the network and the commitment to teamwork across the board. We know our work hard, play hard culture isn’t the right fit for everyone and we are not happy to hear it wasn’t the right fit for you. At the end of the day, we’re truly proud that the opportunity we offer has changed so many lives. At gpac, you absolutely get out what you put in. We hope for you what we hope for all of our people, that in whatever opportunity you pursue, you will find happiness.

Pros

All training and equipment provided Full internal support from all departments Uncapped earning potential Remote work Encouraging culture (not stuffy, cooperate feel) fun, high energy, supportive

Cons

It's tough. It takes a lot of internal drive and commitment. This isn't something for the weak, or those who throw in the towel with things get hard. A lot of cold outreach is required to build your desk and network - that alone isn't for everyone, especially those looking for an "easy" button.
