Pros
- Fantastic team; the people make the job worthwhile. - Hands-on experience from day one (though this can be overwhelming). - Opportunity to take on responsibility early and explore different business areas. - Casual, informal work environment with efficient communication and some amount of freedom. - Minimal bureaucracy and red tape. If you have ideas, you can act on them. - A place to learn the basics of the recruitment industry.
Cons
- Huge turnover. - No investment in employee growth. No trainings, promotions seem based on favoritism rather than performance. - Vague or nonexistent feedback process. Confusing and subjective bonus system. - Double standard for the employees. Some people can have no results and still get away with almost anything while others can perform well and still be doubted and micromanaged. - Unprofessional behavior, including from leadership, such as immature jokes and inappropriate conduct go unchecked. Cases of misconduct have been ignored, with no accountability or rectification. - No development path. - Lack of accountability—no one takes ownership of employee-related issues. - Overwhelming workload, with employees frequently expected to take on additional responsibilities without proper support.
