Pros

Straight out of college, it has the potential of being a good gig. While constantly in flux, as a recruiter you can at times bring in some extra cash and work experience with a large international company can be a real boost, and working in recruiting you get a real handle on doing a job search.

Cons

They rely heavily on their admin staff to do the brunt of the dirty work, and with the changing economy job cuts mean you may be taken advantage of for little to no extra compensation in the name of profit margin. Aditionally, having vacation days doesn't mean you get to use them - stripped down offices mean approval for vacation is limited and even time off for necessary things is scarce with out risking job security.

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
