Pros

Free cable, internet, and mobile discounts

Cons

If you’re an experienced recruiter be prepared to be held back significantly. There is not work life balance, work will pile up if you miss. The day you say yes to an offer, it’ll be an uphill battle. You don’t know what goes on with background, employment for entry level positions aren’t verified. Too many people use the ATS, and you’re expected to keep your mouth shut when issues arise. They’ll expect you to push out silly excel reports, while trying to recruit in a competitive job market. Recruit I’s work extremely hard just to not get a bonus. Minimal growth opportunities, and absolutely no remote work. You don’t even get a cell phone to help with recruiting efforts. Management is not open to new ideas, there is absolutely no negotiation salaries for the entry level positions, even if the candidates has experience! Management expects you to be there all the time, while vacation or make excuses to not come in. The structure of this company is very reductive and you will not learn anything! Management does not trust the recruiters they hire and they will use recruiters as a scapegoat when numbers aren’t met. who would want to work for a company with low pay, no remote work, high demand, and poor communication. Management will give you unfair performance reviews, they’ll chat amongst themselves about how they feel you mesh with others and spin it into your review, like you’re underperforming. Merit increases seem unfair when you feel you’ve worked extremely hard. 3 years of my career here and no promotion opportunities have come up, and I haven’t learned anything new. It’s time too look elsewhere

Pros

The company does offer training

Cons

Too many managers that do not do any work. You spend 50% of your day on Webex calls talking about what needs to be done- and not actually working on anything. Management spends about 80% of their time on Webex calls. And the other 20% they spend on putting together processes for their subordinates.

Pros

Paid training Easy to get hired Most people come for the paid training and quit when they get the horrendous schedule. Parking lot at flushing location, only $25 per week. So many diversity and spirit events to compensate for the low pay, bad shifts, and zero benefits. Alot of free junk and merchandise to compensate for low pay, bad shifts, and crappy benefits.

Cons

Terrible schedule Cant request days off Ghetto environment No work life balance Little to no benefits After 30 days when you get holidays and sick days, you cant even use them, never approved, constantly asking for sick notes from doctors, no privacy about your personal life or medical issues. Paychecks constantly late or sporadic!! How can such a big company be so unreliable with direct deposit? You barely pay people enough to afford to work there.
