Pros

I liked the remote position

Cons

This is a cut throat culture that competes with each other every day. Gauntlets are held and you are asked to basically bring new business to the firm within a day of cold calling. And if you don't, you will be absolutely called out in the daily end of the day meeting. I felt exhausted at the end of the day full of cold calls, and was asked to submit daily to-do reports to the market VP. This position was micromanaged and felt like I was just a body there to make money. This job really traumatized me and I resigned 4 weeks in. I struggled to get many of the team members to respond to messages and meeting requests. You need them to include you in their meetings every day or you won't be seen as checking the box of calls per day. Honestly really toxic work culture.

Pros

Decent salary base, probably could be a really good paying job if the job market was better

Cons

Definitely a typical, corporate sales culture where you are defined by your metrics and your metrics only. They are money grabbers, and their commission structure isn't that great. After 2 years you lose 50% of your commission from contractors and they eliminated early release days before holidays. My office started becoming a "bro culture" and the leader was clearly trying to act like "one of the guys" with the males in the office. If your market is slow with reqs, they expect you to reach out to other offices for subs which is hard to do when other offices favor their own teams' recruiters. They'll likely give you a picked over req or one not close to the money that their own team didn't want to work on. I had to reach out to other offices daily to basically beg for a req to work on to hit my metrics. To add to it, the PTO structure for salaried employees is not how they described it when I joined. 17 PTO days total (including sick/personal time btw) and it is actually accrued throughout the year. I had to use PTO for sick time and a vacation, so when I left I had to write them a check for my balance! Talk about a way to really give someone the boot when they're on their way out the door.
