Pros

Flexibility, I'm struggling to find positives. I found it great to see all the things I didn't want to do with my career. If you can do well here, you'll do well anywhere else.

Cons

It's a shark tank and is the old model of selling. Very few people you can trust. The percentage cuts are lower than industry average and they try to lock top performers in.

Options Group Response

The Options Group is a dynamic and leading executive search firm with offices all over the world. Far from being a shark tank, it is a very collaborative recruiting structure with great rapport among all recruiters and support staff. Contrary to the review, our model is now a leader in terms of lists of clients, support, and critical intelligence backing up recruiters. Moreover, we are leading the pack in business development. The commission rate is based upon your position level and most of all, your willingness to work hard. No one is “locked in”. That is just not the case.
