Pros
Hadn't checked the Glassdoor reviews in a while so I thought I would provide an alternative to all of the great reviews that Proco's HR/Marketing team have written lately. Company has been in a state of flux for about 2+ years now, multiple offices across the business have had their headcount reduce by half, some even more. There are a few outliers but generally speaking the headcount has been flat or (mostly) shrinking. The caliber of new hires has significantly declined. The business used to be able to attract experienced consultants, but now they can only seem to attract very low level recruiters, sell them the dream, and then scratch their heads when they inevitably fail and leave after 1 year because they are making no money. The companies financial performance has been so bad that they recently had to get a loan from a pretty dodgy looking "alternative lender". In keeping with tradition, they tried to spin this as positive news, but I am not aware of many companies who are performing well who have to solicit the services of a mezzanine lender to "re-balance existing credit facilities". I'm sure the company is making enough money for the management group to line their pockets however.
Cons
Culture is horrendous , toxic, and in some cases bordering on harassment. All you have to do is take a look at the lower ranking reviews on glass door, these are the ones that truly reflect the internal culture of the business. The fact that the marketing team are recycling the same BS reviews on here that they were touting 4 years ago speaks volumes. If you are a new recruiter looking to get a bit of work experience, then by all means join, keep your expectations very low, and use this as a platform to get some training and development, then leave when something better comes along. If you have more than 3 years of experience working in recruitment, steer well clear of this mess.
