Pros

Decent place to start out a recruiting career if the market is good. They invest a lot in training new hires. Solid brand if you like to recruit accounting professionals and temporary staff in accounting and office admin. Take what you can learn and, if you have some success, get out with your personal brand after a few years.

Cons

They tend to over-hire the number recruiters needed, and it is a survival of the fittest environment, befitting of a commission sales environment, pitting colleagues against one another. There are, at times, too many recruiters for every business line contacting the same decision makers at companies. Sure, they uncover every move that happens in the business, but alienate a lot of companies in the process.

Pros

Hybrid, Good benefits/PTO, offered “competitions” for gift cards, cares about employees

Cons

As a recruiting manager, I felt that the pay structure was interesting with the base pay being a “draw” - meaning that you base salary is essentially commission paid to you in advance. So if you have some slow months, it rolls over and works yourself into a hole. I think it would be a better structure if it reset every month.
