Pros

It was a remote position!

Cons

Honestly it wasn’t that that bad, it just depends on what you’re looking for.

Pros

You have a job, insurance, & a place to go to every day while you are looking for a long-term career plan.

Cons

There is an extreme amount of micro-managing. They tell you that if you close a deal within the first 90 days that doesn't count against your draw, but it does. You have to have a draw check for it to go into play or be able to be paid on it. I closed $90k worth of fees in my first five months & never saw a dime of it. The managers on the permanent placement team are good sales people, but have no business being managers. They need to learn to be professional in the workplace as well. There is no work-life ballance. They expect you to be in the office by 7:30 AM, but don't even think about leaving before 6 pm. They hire a lot of people right out of college & expect everyone to work 50+ hour work weeks not allowing for family time. It is basically a telemarketing center for recruiters, very loud with only about 2 feet between you & the recruiter in the desk beside you. There is no place in the office to take a break, no down time in this whole office. Don't take an offer here unless you are straight out of college, because you will not get treated like an adult with all of the micro-managing & belittling.
