Pros

The location and view from the office is nice.

Cons

Prepare to feel like a tiny unimportant cog in a big sales machine. Hays is everything wrong with these type of corporate jobs. It's formulaic in its approach, unashamedly all about the profits, and set in its ways. The hours are long but people are convinced that in the end it's worth it. It's not.

Pros

Great place for new recruiters to gain experience. A lot to learn. Younger crowd, fun teams.

Cons

Competitive, people that weren't succeeding would be put on PIPs and eventually let go. Can be some micro-managing. Not all managers created equal - some great, some not so great.
