Pros

I work from home, but when I am afforded the chance to visit my colleagues at the offices in Chicago, it really recharges my batteries. The energy is positive, professional and warm. The team is highly capable, and from a diverse range of backgrounds. The collaborative spirit is thriving and fun, and being a part of a team where everyone has their eyes toward the future with firm feet planted in strong operations truly feels like we are on a rocketship rumbling towards the sky. I couldn't be more proud to be a part of this dynamic and thoughtful organization.

Cons

We work very hard to deliver for our clients, which can sometimes cut into our work/life balance, but that comes with the territory, and can speak as much to my ability to establish boundaries while working from home as anything. I am the type of person that gets energized by crunch time, so while it might not really be a con for me, it is certainly worth being aware of.

Pros

It sounds like a great fit for me, as the days are somewhat flexible to work with my life. My manager has been with the company for 20 years, so it seems like a place to advance.

Cons

I can't start fast enough!

Pros

TalentRISE is an RPO that hires recruiting professionals throughout the country to work as 1099 contractors for high profile clients. The client base is varied with some truly excellent names, and the ability to work from home in a full-time position is amazing for work/life balance. TalentRISE pays very well, on an hourly basis. Overtime available for certain situations. Very good ATS system that is easy to learn and use Great teammates across the country - even though you are by yourself in your home office you never really feel alone.

Cons

Biggest con is POOR communication from management. E-mails to higher ups typically go completely unanswered. This is especially frustrating if you are wondering whether or not you have another project lined up. Even project managers, who are your direct report bosses, may ignore or simply neglect to answer your e-mails. Downtime between projects can be excruciatingly long. With poor communication thrown in, you may now know when you start up next. Projects often end early due to shifty clients constantly changing their needs. Again, communication a major issue between management and client and recruiter. Manager will tell you one thing, client will tell you something completely different, and then both will get on your case because you were given misinformation by one or both parties.
