Pros

- Young atmosphere very dynamic and fun - Commission plan - They are understanding with employee's personal issues - Work/life balance is good

Cons

- They have managers who have been working for years there, who do absolutely nothing apart from showing up at the office and pretending to work. The high management knows it but nothing changes. - When you don't bring any deal, you are transparent to them - When you resign, no one talks to you anymore - HR related questions: takes more than 5 days for a response - High price paid by the clients for Sthree services but our services are mediocre - They make you believe that you can evolve but there's no room to evolve to anything else than making more deals. It is very boring in the end - High turn over because no one wants to keep doing the same thing all over again more than 5 years

Pros

Great office building location, company culture, and generous PTO.

Cons

There is a large emphasis of meeting metrics and KPIs. Seems as though management is more focused on hitting daily numbers rather than celebrating actual wins. There is not a lot of training involved in the process of actually acquiring clients. First few months will be training and filled with lots of meetings about getting candidates for jobs that don’t exist. A lot of the job is luck and money is largely dependent on what area you’re working in and your managers connections as well. Definitely not a job where you should expect to make commission within your first year or two.
