Pros
Established brand name and clients to work with. Only reason why anybody with experience ends up joining them.
Cons
Too many to list. Crappy leadership, zero structure, horrible territorial mentality leading to internal conflicts. Promises made but never kept. Infrastructure of offices despite how much revenue they make, is deplorable. We had rats and cockroaches in the office. Quality of work life balance, well being etc completely overlooked with archaic facilities where even a projector in the conference room can work only with 'someone' who knows the trick which was basically fiddling with wires till it worked and praying it doesn't shut down before the presentation is over. Archaic management mentality, almost like what you see in old 80s or 90s movies, and a clear glass ceiling. Those are just a few. No regards for candidates or their career aspirations or any type of candidate experience kept in mind. Whole process was about throwing s*** at the wall and hoping something stuck. 0 culture and in these times for them to be stuck in the dark ages, it says a fair bit. Only the old will survive with their American market share dwindling day by day. Fake reqs to work on is by far the worst thing you can ask of a recruiter whose income is based on commissions. I've worked at agencies before this one and this one was just a shock to the system - interview process was great and full of sales pitches and promises based on my level... nothing ever came to fruition despite me hitting everything required and promised during the interview and offer signing. I don't recommend this place for any aspiring or experienced Recruiter or Account Manager. Completely outdated and unorganized. They have survived only due to legacy contracts and European income because I know for a fact they were getting their heads beaten in by the competition. No organized reporting process and not a young team by any means. Every who I know who was good left before I left. Despite these conditions my performance was the best in the team in the NYC office. And I wasn't about to ruin my career there. Good luck to those of you who want to join this place.
