Pros

Competitive Base Pay. solid location for travel. allow you to work from home when needed. i am now filling in the word requirement to submit this review..

Cons

Everything. What prompted me to write this review was because i continue to see postings on LinkedIn that highlight their "Amazing Work/Life balance" "Unlimited Opportunity" "Best Places to Work" posts. I feel bad for anyone who falls into this. I worked here for about 6 months and after my first 3, i realized i was in a prison. Work/Life balance? PLEASE. if you call having to be at a mandatory meeting for 8am everyday, make 100+ calls a day, not allowed to take an hour lunch break AWAY FROM YOUR DESK, and are frowned upon for leaving anytime before 6pm Work/Life balance, you are not from this planet and probably should work here. Quantity over Quality is their mission and it is gross. The industry is all over the place and I seriously would tell anyone to make sure they know what they are doing before signing up with this firm. In fact, I would tell them a hard NO. Culture? Forget about it. Everyone is out to get each other. There is no team atmosphere and it's do or die mentality. Untrustworthy colleagues who will take anything away from you if it benefits themselves. Sad really. Be better.

Pros

Decent salary base, probably could be a really good paying job if the job market was better

Cons

Definitely a typical, corporate sales culture where you are defined by your metrics and your metrics only. They are money grabbers, and their commission structure isn't that great. After 2 years you lose 50% of your commission from contractors and they eliminated early release days before holidays. My office started becoming a "bro culture" and the leader was clearly trying to act like "one of the guys" with the males in the office. If your market is slow with reqs, they expect you to reach out to other offices for subs which is hard to do when other offices favor their own teams' recruiters. They'll likely give you a picked over req or one not close to the money that their own team didn't want to work on. I had to reach out to other offices daily to basically beg for a req to work on to hit my metrics. To add to it, the PTO structure for salaried employees is not how they described it when I joined. 17 PTO days total (including sick/personal time btw) and it is actually accrued throughout the year. I had to use PTO for sick time and a vacation, so when I left I had to write them a check for my balance! Talk about a way to really give someone the boot when they're on their way out the door.
