Pros
- The commission was generous, however your base salary was very average compared to other recruitment jobs in BC. Not worth it just based on the commission.
Cons
- NO flexibility - for personal matters, family emergencies, appointments etc - You do not want to ask for time off as they will not allow it.
- It's expected that you stay late every day to fill the business, no consideration for employee's well-being or mental state.
- NO work from home days - They advertise flexibility and a hybrid schedule but it couldn't be further from the truth. Manager's promise work from home days if you fill a certain amount of roles which is always unattainable, & even if you do attain it, there will be an additional reason as to why you cannot work from home.
- Overworked - work 7:30AM - 5:30PM on average most days and if you were seen to be leaving before that time, prepare to be questioned as to where you're going, what you're doing & a reason as to why you cannot cancel your plans to work on the open roles.
- Have openly been told by management that they 'do not care what you have going on outside of work', & telling you to 'Figure it out & Cancel any plans as we are all staying late tonight'
- No respect for their staff - they just want to work you until you physically & mentally cannot take it any more & are forced to leave. When you do leave there is no follow up message or nice words from any one member of leadership.
- Blackmail - they will promise you things if you stay in or hit a certain target but never actually follow through with their promise.
- Messaging every day along the lines of 'you will not be successful in life if you do not meet these professional goals'.
- You are expected to stop & drop everything to fill a role. You will be told to 'find a solution' if you cannot find a candidates for a role, not provided any help on the recruit or how we can make this work for both sides.
- Manager's expect you to bring & share your personal life experiences / circumstances into work and share with the team so they can 'fully understand what's happening in your life', when it is really a tactic to be able to manage your personal life also and ensure your able to give more to the company.
