Pros
The majority of the people who work there are lovely. Chances to work collaboratively with big brands and household names. The ATS system Webrecruit have created is great and a huge collaborative project. No matter what team you are in, your ideas are always listened to, considered and sometimes used in improving the system. It's amazing to be part of something that's growing and adapting every day. Fast-paced environment and ever changing so it's varied and interesting and you learn lots along the way. 360 recruitment so you're not just stuck looking at one sector. A very different approach to recruitment and refreshing compared to recruitment agencies. Two staff gatherings a year plus a change to 'earn' more socials. It was always a nice little reward for our hard work. Staff parking is always a perk (although I think it was limited) Some chances to progress.
Cons
If I were to be super critical I would say the cons are: Quite long hours compared to other companies - 8.30-5.30pm. It's a shame but there was a lack of modern thinking in terms of flexible working or working from home but I'm sure this has changed since the pandemic. Unfortunately, there have been a few occasions where there has been a toxic environment whereby if you are not working in the management or sales teams you are not valued as highly. It seems that management prefer to fight each other rather than work together. It can be unprofessional and it then projects onto other staff members and it can become a hostile atmosphere. That being said, some of the staff members who contributed to this have since left and it improved drastically, and new management has come in and helped align teams and pushed back to managers when needed. This helped improve the relationships between teams. Please don't read this and think it's toxic all the time, because there were more occasions where the whole company would work seamlessly together. But there were definitely times where the negativity was a bit too much and management need to improve this. There's a bit of inequality in salaries. Those who have worked for the company for a long time are on less money than advertised salaries for new staff who have the same number of years experience.
