Pros

I was a member of the tech recruiting team in SF. You can meet some awesome people in the city in the office there.

Cons

Serious favoritism, lots of turnover, lack of strong/top performers. Recruiters tell consultants/candidates dishonest things to get them interested in taking short term contracts. Huge gap in bill rate to pay rate to make profit for the company which doesn't trickle down to the employee (the commission is awful unless you're a favorite of the directors. Good place to learn how to recruit if you have zero experience but I'd run for the hills if you are coming from another firm.

Pros

Decent salary base, probably could be a really good paying job if the job market was better

Cons

Definitely a typical, corporate sales culture where you are defined by your metrics and your metrics only. They are money grabbers, and their commission structure isn't that great. After 2 years you lose 50% of your commission from contractors and they eliminated early release days before holidays. My office started becoming a "bro culture" and the leader was clearly trying to act like "one of the guys" with the males in the office. If your market is slow with reqs, they expect you to reach out to other offices for subs which is hard to do when other offices favor their own teams' recruiters. They'll likely give you a picked over req or one not close to the money that their own team didn't want to work on. I had to reach out to other offices daily to basically beg for a req to work on to hit my metrics. To add to it, the PTO structure for salaried employees is not how they described it when I joined. 17 PTO days total (including sick/personal time btw) and it is actually accrued throughout the year. I had to use PTO for sick time and a vacation, so when I left I had to write them a check for my balance! Talk about a way to really give someone the boot when they're on their way out the door.
