Pros
This is a wonderful opportunity to learn how to grow into a position and with a company while making great money. The opportunities are endless--and everyone starts as a recruiter to learn the industry. You want to be a senior recruiter? Then recruit. You want to do account management? Prove your ability and knowledge of the industry and grab accounts and reqs. You want to manage a branch? Figure out the next alpha market and take IDR there. If you are not a self-starter or motivated by an atmosphere where you are actually part of decision making (because you are an owner of the company), then this is NOT the place for you. And be honest with yourself before considering a position here, because you better believe the staff will be honest with you about expectations and 'the job'. Don't waste your time or ours if you are not a go getter...
Cons
Long hours and delayed gratification. But, time = money...
