Pros
If you can endure the stress and pressure to perform every month, you can make a high amount of commission during a positive economy in Houston.
Cons
After 13 years at RHI as a senior recruiter, I resigned. I knew I was always just a number and no matter how many millions I made for them in perm recruiting - finance and accounting - every month you started again at zero and nothing before that mattered. The day I left the company was the day after my miscarriage at 15 weeks. They were fully aware of the pregnancy and miscarriage and I still met my monthly quota, but when I came back - I was not only given no time off and zero sympathy, but I was brought in a room and reprimanded for the # of interview I had completed the month before and told I had to complete double the # of interviews that month to make up for my deficiency. I've been embarrassed for years to speak out about this, but it should be known. This is a terrible company to work for and you can ask anyone there that it's a revolving door, but decisions are made at the top - not in your own branch and you are just a number to them no matter what you do or have done. I'm proud of the decision I made that day to go to another company. No one should have to endure that type of stress and complete unappreciation from all management all levels.
