Pros

I loved the people I worked with, my teammates were great. Everyone is in it together, because the commission structure is mostly team based, and you really need to depend on each other to keep up with the day to day demands. But more so this company does do a good job of hiring people with good attitudes.....you have to be positive in order to survive here. Real solid pay for the industry, I was making about $52-$54k base plus commission. Definitely amazing experience that you will be able to sell to any future employer....I put the demands of this job up there with any other job I've ever heard of. You do more in one day as a Staffing Consultant than I've ever seen in another position.

Cons

Extremely demanding job as I touched on above. The pay is great but it should be even higher for what you have to put in. If you want to be successful and close business you will be staying late putting in long hours......it's just how it is. Full Desk model meaning you recruit, manage orders, and handle all the sales both inside and outside. Extremely difficult to manage all of it. Worst of all the hold you to some tough numbers and depending on your boss they will hammer the numbers down your throat which can kill morale. I'm thrilled to have had the experience there which I can take anywhere, and I enjoy recruiting, but for me personally it was too much and I'd rather be working for a different staffing company.

Pros

Loved my team. My Manager was incredibly supportive, understand, and always rooting for myself as well as my teammate's success. Remote work was highly flexible and accommodating.

Cons

Pay was a little low and you don't get paid for holidays in your probationary period but there's growth opportunities after 6 months of employment.

Pros

Recruiter was responsive at first, and the team I spoke with at the client company seemed professional and genuinely kind.

Cons

Here’s a more detailed “Cons” you can use and tweak: Cons: I went all the way through onboarding for a contract role, spent a full day last week chasing down and uploading sensitive documents (including my passport), and was told I’d be starting this week. Then, at the last minute, I got a single text saying I “didn’t pass” a third‑party ID check — with no explanation of what supposedly failed and no formal notice or report to review. As an American citizen using a valid passport, it’s really disturbing to have a job pulled over an opaque automated screening and to be told “other factors” were flagged without anyone willing or able to say what they were. Even after repeatedly asking, I was given no more than a generic privacy policy and bounced between contacts, which feels extremely careless with my time, my livelihood, and the very private identity data they collected. Best‑practice guidance for background checks says candidates should get clear written notice and a chance to understand or dispute issues before a job is taken away; that absolutely did not happen here.
