Pros

Training is adequate. Managers are quick to respond to questions and offer help for problem solving. There is transparency within the branches....there's a clear picture of how each branch stacks up...which also allows you to see that there seems to be a different set of expectations for some.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations of staff concerning day to day business. There seems to be a "my way or the highway" attitude, which in business is sometimes necessary; this organization seems to completely restrict any individuality. If you need a position that maps and plans each thirty minutes of your day, then this is the company for you.

Pros

Strong brand and well recognized in market Good atmosphere to work in Nice offices and location

Cons

Poor leadership, lacks direction and vision to retain market share, let alone grow Sales organization first and foremost. Little concern on the recruitment side.

Pros

They take on people straight from school and train them plenty of skills in the world of recruitment. Its a good way of breaking into the contract recruitment world, if that is your aim. In order to learn some basics of the recruitment business this is a great place to start. They have plenty of processes and systems, although they don't always work or make sense.

Cons

It is a very aggressive environment. Both internally competitive and constantly pushing for improvement in results. The pace can be a bit too much for some and burn-out is quite common. On the recruitment side you are dealing with candidates who would rather be anywhere but contracting. All of them would prefer a permanent position. That can a) make the opportunities on offer a difficult sell and b) mean you are dealing with some pretty disillusioned and sometimes unreliable candidates (the most frequent problem we had was candidates not turning up for work).
