Pros

They make a lot of promises that sound fantastic! They promise to raise commission, bring in new clients, and support the internal recruiters. They do have a lot of opportunities coming into the site.

Cons

- Terrible commission structure - Push recruiters to work on roles that are not tillable and submit candidates just to submit them with no actual hope of an interview or hire because the relationships aren't there with clients. - Micromanagement is the norm on the IT recruiting team and recruiters are held to submittal volumes that are unrealistic given the client relationships. - Money is redirected from the IT department to other departments which results in low pay and few resources for the team actually bringing in the revenue. - Maternity policy is nonexistent! There is no maternity leave and no short term disability. The healthcare and PTO is aweful and there is no retirement matching.

Pros

Some coworkers are genuinely great people doing their best despite the environment. Occasionally, you’ll find opportunities to learn — but usually through trial by fire rather than true mentorship or support.

Cons

Leadership is completely disconnected from the day-to-day reality of employees. The CEO is virtually absent, showing no interest in helping people grow or succeed. Communication between upper management is fragmented at best, creating constant confusion and mixed messages throughout the organization. Critical decisions happen in “closed-door meetings,” leaving teams blindsided and out of the loop. A disturbing trend here is the protection and promotion of toxic employees while pushing out those who are actually driving revenue and delivering results. When strong performers leave, their accounts or book of business are simply handed to the very individuals who contributed to the toxic culture — a clear signal of misplaced priorities. The company also has a bad habit of making big promises — whether about compensation, career development, or organizational changes — that never materialize. Over time, this leads to low morale and high turnover.
