Pros

An industry with a lot of opportunities. Large company with good financial backing. They are able to sponsor visas - which is a great asset in recruitment.

Cons

Like any national company, every office will be different in terms of management, culture. The Milwaukee office was a good place for many - for equally as many, it was shockingly terrible. During my time there, I saw over 4 people fired within their first week after just having been recruited from their previous position. The firings were for minor offenses. If you're likable and don't have a habit of speaking out of turn or challenging ideas, you will do fine. If you're someone who wants to be creative/innovative in your work: you will be ostracized. Bottom line: if you're likable and are completely OK doing exactly what you're told no matter the level of ridiculousness: you could have a great experience. But if you don't play the political game, your life will be hell. As of 2018.

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.
