Pros

Small company atmosphere, flexible in terms of work life balance, close knit team, decent training.

Cons

The associates you have to deal with are just awful. I never knew people could be that idiotic, rude and entitled. You will be extremely over worked and underpaid for all that you are expected to do. Recruiters get paid more than front office, yet front office staff is expected to also help them do their job but will not compensate you accordingly. Lots of preferential treatment or favoritism. Nowhere to go HR wise when there is an issue. You will also get reprimanded for following the rules when it comes to clients and associates, because of course they are always right. They will promise you bonuses for certain tasks being completed and then after you do your end of the bargain they magically forget all about it. They will not do as promised; when you do they will twist the story to make it seem like you did not deserve it even though you literally met your end of the bargain. You are expected to cough up money for all of these work "Team Building" events that they don't pay you enough to even afford, taking unpaid time out of your day. The back office does nothing all day but you so much as breathe for one minute up front and they ask if you need something to do. Stuck doing everyone else's job. Zero respect job. Don't waste your time. You are better than this.

Pros

The owner, Jessica, is fantastic as is the sales manager, Kirby. It can be a fun environment and putting people in a position to succeed is always rewarding.

Cons

Employees are not held to any sort of reasonable professional standard. Where it directly impacted this role at the time was that at least 25 hours every week were spent essentially begging employees to turn in time cards rather than doing anything productive. Standards seemed pretty inconsistent at times. The company felt a little aimless. There were several conflicting plans for the future. My understanding is that in the six months after my separation, they more or less replaced the entire staff for various reasons. Maybe they got it figured out now.
