Pros

Can get promoted quickly, many people have quit, creating room for promotions regardless of ability. No one seems to ever get fired. In fact, I’ve heard there are dozens of recruiters milking the base for years that rarely produce and never get fired here. So if you do and want to be promoted to a manager, this is the company for you.

Cons

The new executive management has no recruiting industry experience; in fact it looks like the CEO has never been a CEO. Many services are being shut off, rent is not being paid according to the landlord, sales are plummeting, and people keep quitting. Yes I am one of them. I could no longer come in to work and watch the abusive ways of the leaders. In fact, an entire office walked off the job not too long ago. People have been promoted and hired which you would think is a good thing. However the people promoted and hired, (which we were told were the experts) have not brought in any business for almost a year. I don’t get it, why is the company paying big salaries to people who can’t bring in any business and then reducing the commission program for the recruiters who are producing? So, overall the best people are quitting, and the people who bill the least and being paid the most are staying. Really? Go somewhere else.

Pros

For starters Sr. Management clearly know what they're doing and are extremely competent to lead the company. In terms of opportunities for growth; the sky really is the limit. However, everyone needs to know that you will only get as far as the amount of work you're ACTUALLY putting in. If you're lazy or don't want to put 100% of yourself into the job while at work, you won't be successful. Period. Ashley Ellis also has the best team I've been apart of to date. People here truly look out for each other's success and even the idea of back-stabbing here is laughable. If you're cutthroat and could care less about helping someone on your team; this isn't the place for you. Finally, once again you will only get as far as the work you actually put in. Expect to work but know that Ashley Ellis has one of the top compensation packages out there for a recruiter. Keep in mind that a base salary is only there to supplement you in between commission checks. If you're not putting in the work and not closing on business, then don't expect to make much money. For those who are prepared to work hard, learn everyday and be a part of a great team: you'll make money. There are absolutley no false expectations here: you earn what you work for.

Cons

As with many small companies the benefits leave more to be desired.
