Vantaggi

Benefits (Health, Dental, Vision, 401k match)

Svantaggi

No encouragement from leaders - work 50+ hours/week and get told you aren't working hard enough, poor compensation, only get paid 2 hours for overtime per week (no matter how much you actually worked), horrible managers who try to instill fear instead of encouragement, leaders are very quick to jump to conclusions and will bite your head off instantly without having a conversation, they do not promote out of hard work and to those who deserve it but promote those who whine and cry their way into leadership positions, Rookie of the Year doesn't go to "rookies" but to those who have been there for multiple years, unprofessional HR - instead of handling the situation they just pass the problem back to your manager and make the situation even worse, insane work environment with coworkers throwing stress balls everywhere (and hitting you) and insult you (which management doesn't stop), expected to be in by 7AM and to not leave til after 6PM even though office hours are 8AM-5PM, lots of cliques making new recruiters feel unwelcome and left out, 100% sales (unlike what they tell you in the interview process), high turnover, you will get scolded for PTO in your first year (including time off for funerals...), extremely number-driven (and if you don't hit your numbers, you will hear about it nonstop from your manager), managers are incapable of having a discussion with recruiters and instead send passive-aggressive (read: rude) emails and IMs.

Vantaggi

Decent salary base, probably could be a really good paying job if the job market was better

Svantaggi

Definitely a typical, corporate sales culture where you are defined by your metrics and your metrics only. They are money grabbers, and their commission structure isn't that great. After 2 years you lose 50% of your commission from contractors and they eliminated early release days before holidays. My office started becoming a "bro culture" and the leader was clearly trying to act like "one of the guys" with the males in the office. If your market is slow with reqs, they expect you to reach out to other offices for subs which is hard to do when other offices favor their own teams' recruiters. They'll likely give you a picked over req or one not close to the money that their own team didn't want to work on. I had to reach out to other offices daily to basically beg for a req to work on to hit my metrics. To add to it, the PTO structure for salaried employees is not how they described it when I joined. 17 PTO days total (including sick/personal time btw) and it is actually accrued throughout the year. I had to use PTO for sick time and a vacation, so when I left I had to write them a check for my balance! Talk about a way to really give someone the boot when they're on their way out the door.
