Pros

- You’ll gain experience juggling multiple roles (though not by choice). - Exposure to working with global teams.

Cons

Company culture is driven purely by profit, not people. Ongoing mass layoffs for over two years, despite repeated promises from leadership that “this will be the last.” Remaining employees are expected to take on the work of laid-off departments with no additional compensation or recognition. No bonuses for the past three years and minimal salary adjustments, if any. PTO is difficult to actually use—employees are often contacted during their time off, and many are barely able to take it at all. Annual reviews are meaningless. Even if you achieve “Exceeds Expectations” multiple times, it will not translate into a raise or promotion. To make matters worse, HR policy limits managers to giving “Exceeds” to only one person per team, making advancement nearly impossible. The company has no clear direction. Leadership constantly changes course, labeling it as “change” and expecting employees to “adapt.” Projects drag on for years, only to be scrapped at the last minute—like the Bullhorn system migration, which went through years of testing and multiple launch delays before being canceled entirely. Many other initiatives have followed the same wasteful pattern, leaving employees burned out and frustrated. Leadership is disconnected from reality. The CEO, Billy, comes across as arrogant and out of touch. Instead of investing in their current U.S. workforce, the company increasingly shifts work to outsourced teams in North America and India, while cutting American jobs. Promotions or job security are not based on skill or hard work, but on saying “yes” and staying in good favor with leadership. Finally, the company is owned by Apollo, a private equity firm. Expect profit to remain the only priority, with no meaningful improvements for employees.

Pros

Good base salary, a lot of resources, and other BDMs are very supportive and willing to help new BDMs

Cons

So much of your success depends on the Operations and Recruiting team. You can do your job and get the sale, but if your recruitment team does not do a good job filling the orders or they have a lot of turnover, all of your hard work is for nothing basically. In my experience leadership for whatever reason will do the bare minimum to address issues with the recruiters and you will likely not have a meaningful solution to the problem.
