Vantaggi

Mostly all of the other AE's and Recruiters are seriously awesome! They are all so supportive and are the reason I stayed so long. I learned so much from my peers and have so much respect for the ones that stuck around and really want to make a change in the company. The problem lies with leadership.

Svantaggi

Brooksource was my first job out of college. Now that I work for a new company, my eyes have been opened to the gaps and problems Brooksource needs to solve before returning to the positive, rapidly growing org it was 10 years ago. The base salary is an industry low (and I mean LOW), there is little to no work from home flexibility, and from a coaching standpoint they are behind the rest of the industry-- which is sad because Brooksource actually has a great service that in theory should be really successful. After I quit (mind you I was here for 2 years) they didn't have the decency to even give me an exit interview and all my MD had to say was "When are you coming to drop off your stuff?" Brooksource sells you on the promise that in 2 years you'll be rolling in money, and then blame you when that doesn't happen. The company has so much potential and it's really sad what it's turned into.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. All leadership positions are hired from within which means that our leadership has personal experience in the positions that they oversee. Usually, this opens the door for thoughtful leadership and mentoring, but the scenario you have described does NOT align with the culture we want to create. We are deeply disappointed to hear that you had such a negative experience at Brooksource. Would you be willing to contact us at success@eightelevengroup.com so that we can learn more, as we are always striving to better ourselves?

Vantaggi

This company relies on growth from within, so if they see potential in you, they will help you get to that next level. There is always a huge support system around you at all times.

Svantaggi

The amount of support can quickly turn into micromanaging, and promoting from within is great until you start protecting those who earned their title sheerly through tenure or a 'good ol' boy' system. Also, the pay is abysmal. They pay you the absolute minimum in salary and the rest is based off of commission, so even the best reps can lose everything on a clients whim, going from making almost $200K a year to $30K in the blink of an eye. They say they have protections in place for that but that's only for the people who earn the company millions of dollars for 4 consecutive years. Also, there really is no such time as a work/life balance here. They throw parties to make you think you do, but if you are out on PTO you will still be judged by your KPI's while you were out, and they expect you to pick up the phone, regardless of if you are on vacation or at your grandfathers funeral. "Still gotta keep you numbers up!"
