      Great place to work!

      Pros

      Kellymitchell Group has been a great home with so much opportunity. Outside of the compensation/commission structure and opportunity for growth, the culture is what makes this place. It's a competitive environment but everyone is rooting for you to succeed. If you have a good work ethic and positive attitude, you will be successful!

      Cons

      There is a lot in this role that is out of your control. There are a lot of ebbs and flows but as long as you keep grinding and stay positive, you'll be alright.

      Best Teammates + Incredible Personal & Professional Development

      13 Feb 2023 - Client Engagement Manager in Saint Louis, MO

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You are surrounded by opportunity to learn, grow, and make a solid living! The amount of both personal and professional growth I've achieved in this role is seriously incredible, if I do say so myself, and I'm completely unrecognizable from when I started back in 2021.

      Cons

      Sometimes you face longer hours, but they have ALWAYS been fruitful and worth it in my experience.

      Find a Better Opportunity ASAP! Toxic Work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Uncapped Commission (.05%) - Coworkers are some of the most hard working people in the world - Industry exp. gained allows for you to go anywhere - People orientated sales exp and working directly with Fortune 100 clients

      Cons

      - You will not find a more toxic environment anywhere else then at KM - Technical Recruiter has more responsibilities then some CDM's - The focus of quantity over quality, almost impossible to strategically recruit - They don't maintain talent internally, nor will have your best interest in mind - No work life balance at all (have fun working 60 - 70 hour work weeks....) - Micromanaging from leadership and favoritism at it's finest - They don't hire people who are quirky or "not culture fits", (big red flag) - At Will Employee: you can be let go or fired anytime, no real stability.

      Arbeit macht frei (Work sets you free)

      Pros

      A conduit from the client company's coffers to your wallet. Nothing more.

      Cons

      It's a mill. They hire "Technical Recruiters" straight out of college, chew them up and spit them out. If you are a contractor working through Kelly Mitchell, expect zero support as you are handed off from technical recruiter to technical recruiter, roughly once or twice every year. If the client company increases what they pay Kelly Mitchell, your rate of pay will not get a corresponding increase, unless you find out about it and threaten to leave over it. I found out that with some tough negotiating, I could receive 80% of what the client company paid Kelly Mitchell, but I know of other contractors that made less than 50%.

      Pros

      Some of the people you work with are great.

      Cons

      You will work 50+ hours a week to hit your goals and numbers which are unattanable and unrealistic. You have literal hours of'homework' that you aren't paid for. Micromanaged. Your success depends on your territory team, and the company you are trying to fill jobs for. They prefer quantity over quality. I was burnt out during my second week on the job. A manipulative culture where they throw in your face how lucky you are to be there.

      Great out of college job

      7 Nov 2022 - Technical Recruiter in Chicago, IL
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The culture is very fun and the office is high energy. A lot of your coworkers are around the same age and become friends. The base is pretty standard and commission adds up quickly if you work hard. You can make a good amount in commission just from a few hires.

      Cons

      There can be highs and lows and a lot of uncontrollable factors. But if you stick it out, the commission adds up pretty quickly. It’s a lot of hours in the beginning but once you start to understand the process you’ll work until 5.

      Pros

      Great place to work if you bring work ethic and confidence in your professional abilities. Plenty of potential for building commission and being in control of your own success. Fun atmosphere where work and friends go hand-in-hand. If you do your best you will have success.

      Cons

      Like many industries, lots of factors outside of your control. Best bet is to take them head on.

      Pros

      the only good people you meet at this company are the ones that want to quit also. DO NOT WORK HERE

      Cons

      Absolutely horrible place to work. Micromanaging never ends it is there only management technique. They send everyone’s performance every week. Do not care about quality of work. Manager picks favorites. You have the same goals as everyone even though clients are completely different. UNFAIR DO NOT WORK HERE. Everyone quits under a year
