Vantaggi
They have solid training here. And though this really a con, they're strict rules + crappy pay will make you really appreciate your next job. They also have happy hours every other week paid for by the company, but that is a big part of what makes working here bearable.
Svantaggi
They will brain wash you here into thinking the way they want you to think. To start off, to woo you into moving forward with them, they'll tell you all the best stories of how fast people got promoted as if it's the norm, but don't be fooled, because they are not realistic expectations. Then, after they bring you on they pay you crap, and they tell you how you can make all this money if you just do your job. They don't pay you commissions per placement as they consider that a privilege. Tell anyone else this in the recruiting industry and they will be flabbergasted. So while you're making placements, your manager is getting paid commissions on all the deals you make, and after making multiple placements (every 4, which takes an above average recruiter 2+ months) you get a raise of between $3000-$4000. Now that sounds good when thought of in annual pay, but when you break it down per paycheck it comes out to a whopping $43-$58 after taxes. And remember your manager is making anywhere from $1500-$4500 for EACH of those 4 placements you made. All this time they will dangle a carrot in front of you, using pretty good psychology to push your buttons perfectly to keep you on board. They tell you the lucky number to reach is 20 placements and that's when you get promoted and are commissionable. Well that number is just the number will they start to consider making you commissionable, as I know of recruiters there that were approaching 30 and still making just salary, less than $50k (btw your salary tops out at $50k). I'd also like to point out that there are several recruiters there that have taken or are there for over 2 1/2 years and still not commissioned. In conclusion, this is a good entry level/straight out of college job to learn a few things, but go into it looking to stay here for 3-6 months and start looking for a new job. And be careful, if you're good and they think you'll be successful, they will try some very sneak ways to get in your head and keep you. And it's true, there are people there that are doing very successful, however, those people are they type of people that will be successful anywhere. So if they think you'll be successful there, basic logic suggests that you too will be successful anywhere, so don't deal with their crap longer than you have too.
