Vantaggi
+ Company as a whole treats employees well. Everything is done at top quality for the employees + Great learning opportunities at all levels. Working closely with consultants, recruiters indirectly pick up some of the consulting tool kit + Learn top of class recruiting best practices - if you take your recruiting career seriously, you will have an amazing foundation wherever you go + Very transparent / flat structure where everyone is expected to contribute regardless of tenure + Working for a smaller office can be rewarding if you've built strong relationships with leadership + Diverse
Svantaggi
+ Comp package is a challenge even when you factor in PSRF (retirement) and performance bonus. Normally it would be OK, but for the hours the recruiting team is expected to work and travel, it's not equitable. It is not uncommon for a recruiter to dedicate 14 hours a day during peak season with travel, debriefs, evening events, etc... + An assistant who gets overtime can make more than an associate or comparable to a manager who is salaried. + Could be difficult to drive change/insert opinions when everything in standardized - it's a recruiting machine here + If you want to move out of campus recruiting, options in experience hires/lateral are slim and generally not desirable due to the dynamics on those teams. + Some processes are super archaic which adds unnecessary work on recruiters (in this day and age, why can't we design a process to NOT snail mail offer letters again?)
