Vantaggi
I took a position with IDR directly after graduating from college and would not have traded my time there for any other entry level opportunity. The experience I gained was invaluable and the skills that I learned are skills I will carry with me throughout my professional career. The company culture and values are what initially attracted me to the company and are what kept me there for so long. It is truly a team atmosphere and everyone from recruiters to senior management will go out of their way to help a teammate as long as they are willing to accept responsibility and make the necessary changes recommended. The opportunity for growth is also unparalleled by the large majority of other entry level opportunities. If someone works hard and catches on quickly, they will be promoted within months and, based on the rapid growth of the market, could even have the opportunity to open their own branch within a year. This timeline is not common but it is certainly possible for the right person. The position of a recruiter is not for everyone, but if you are motivated, willing to put in the work, and have a good attitude, you will do well and will be rewarded financially and professionally.
Svantaggi
Because IDR is a sales organization based on always coming through for the customer in a very competitive industry, be prepared to put in the hours necessary to get the job done.
