Pros

You have the chance to make your own wages here. The base salary is low, but there's potential to earn a high commission if you're motivated. For someone just starting out, it's a solid opportunity to get your foot in the door at a recruitment firm and work your way up.

Cons

Working under higher management was a challenge. There were frequent disagreements during team calls that often disrupted the whole team. It felt like there was a lack of real leadership, and instead of fostering a culture of listening and collaboration, it often seemed like we were being pitted against each other. Gaslighting was a common experience—managers would tell you you’re doing well, but then set expectations you weren't even aware of. The old-school, micromanaging approach made it hard to feel trusted or valued. Unfortunately, in just six months, we lost half of our North American team, which speaks volumes about the environment.

Pros

Working w/ NextWave has been a really great experience with my boss actually helping me get closer to my personal goals. They are building my development around what I want to accomplish when I leave in the future. It's quite a transparent culture where you work hard and they will treat you well.

Cons

There is oftentimes a lack of organization and structure that leads to extra work on each individual's part, however, it is improving every day.

Pros

Made a lot of good friends with co-workers and felt like they cared. When I first joined I felt like they really make an effort to understand what my values are and have cohesiveness between the international teams especially as the North America team was just getting up and running.

Cons

The acquisition of NextWave by Altus completely changed the culture of the organization and really showed from the top down. Senior management stopped listening and only cared about numbers and as a result the North America team that got as large as about 10-12 shrank to 6 within months. Management really needs to listen to junior level employees if they want to see success and growth and stop drinking the "Kool-Aid" that they are serving.
