Pros

Fast paced. Possibility to create your own path. Several promotion opportunities if you really show exceptional skill. They expect a lot but also provide the tools for success. Recent investment in enterprise technologies. Clients are 500MM and up so it's a good place to get enterprise sales experience as a young person. Low attrition rate in a high turnover industry.

Cons

If you are looking for a 9-5, this isn't the place for you. If you like a rewarding grind, this is a good place. Not a very mature company. Creates it's own special challenges. Average age around 26 and overall company still young. Pay starts significantly lower than many of the other staffing firms. Other firms that pay this low are much smaller. That said, our top competitors expect much higher output for the increased starting pay.

Pros

This company relies on growth from within, so if they see potential in you, they will help you get to that next level. There is always a huge support system around you at all times.

Cons

The amount of support can quickly turn into micromanaging, and promoting from within is great until you start protecting those who earned their title sheerly through tenure or a 'good ol' boy' system. Also, the pay is abysmal. They pay you the absolute minimum in salary and the rest is based off of commission, so even the best reps can lose everything on a clients whim, going from making almost $200K a year to $30K in the blink of an eye. They say they have protections in place for that but that's only for the people who earn the company millions of dollars for 4 consecutive years. Also, there really is no such time as a work/life balance here. They throw parties to make you think you do, but if you are out on PTO you will still be judged by your KPI's while you were out, and they expect you to pick up the phone, regardless of if you are on vacation or at your grandfathers funeral. "Still gotta keep you numbers up!"
