Pros
- you learn several transferrable skills - training/support from management and senior account executives - pleasant working environment - flexible scheduling and the option to wfh once certain metrics have been hit - independence of planning out your workday and how you`d like to delegate tasks - you essentially get out what you put in, so if you work hard you are rewarded accordingly - upward mobility in compensation is based on hitting certain metrics not tenure, so you can accelerate your comp quickly
Cons
- the internal colleague compensation/commission structure is not up to par with other staffing agencies - work-life balance can be difficult... if you want to be highly successful in the recruiting industry you often have to sacrifice your free time to ensure candidates are doing what they need to get done before their first day. This includes taking calls on weekends and/or after typical office hours. Of course, this is not a requirement of the role, but to get ahead it may be necessary.
