Pros

The training is very thorough; twelve weeks long. But you do earn your way to the final week of training at HQ. Lots of internal contests for prizes and gift cards.

Cons

Very stressful as a staffing consultant that works a full desk because there is never enough time to dedicate to either recruiting or selling. Most of your day is spent on the phone screening calls for people looking for work.
