Unlimited leave for management - Recensione dipendente - Consultant presso Understanding Recruitment

The career structure of UR literally blows every other US recruiter company out of the water for many reasons. 1) There is a very clear process on how you should be earning, achieving, and proceeding to the next stage in the company. 2) The structure of promotions and earnings doesn't leave anything to the imagination! If you earn/ work hard you succeed and if you don't... then you won't. 3) The HR department, management, and general staff are so kind and really lend you a helping hand to get on your feet. Much like other recruiting firms, you are NOT just tossed off the deep end. In fact, there is a training process that clarifies what you should be doing and why it is important. 3) The people are wonderful. I live in a completely different country from the main hub office but I still feel a strong sense of teamwork from the UK office. 4) Boston specific Pros: The office is beautiful and has plenty of free amenities. The COO gives you hands-on experience that is invaluable and it makes adapting to recruitment a wonderful experience. The environment is competitively fun in a way that makes you want to fill those roles. 5) Lastly, Incentives: If you earn you are open to all-inclusive trips all over the world among many other small perks.

Nothing to note in terms of cons

office is nice. Parking is free. L&D good.

Tremendously micromanaged. Strange culture. One minute they say hello, the next minute you're unknown. Quite unfriendly from the moment i joined. It was the oddest place i think i have ever worked. Like one of the other reviews say, very gossipy also and cliquey. You will feel like just another number. WLB in my team was not the one, and the team loved the idea of staying late. Mental Health is all over their TVs, trust me, during my time there, they could not have cared less about my mental health. Again, you are just another KPI drone to them. A calm app subscription doesn't help when the people around you could not care less. Managers who should not be managers. They talk about training for managers in their Glassdoor replies, i did not see the manager go for training once during my time there, and it showed. The worst person i have ever reported to in my career. Bad commission structure. Please dont try and say you have the best in the industry, the best in the industry are fixed commissions that sit around 20%. Why should someone's commission structure be reset just because it is a different quarter?
