Pros
Curtis is an inspiring leader and great mentor. He has managed to collect some of the best recruiters in the industry based off of his vision and passion alone. The people there are great too! The vast majority of people working there know what they're doing, with an above average number of them excelling in their specific niche. I've found some people there that I'll be life long friends with, so not only is the team you're working with most likely excellent, they're fun to spend time with outside of work. There's also a great training program for junior and entry level recruiters to learn while also adding value to respective clients. Its a brilliant business model. LevelUp will continue to grow for years to come. Work/life balance as a recruiter is something difficult to attain, but levelup tries its best, and the effort is appreciated. Good compensation, PTO depending on level, benefits are okay.
Cons
While its a great place to work, there were some concerns that led me to keep my options open and eventually find a new role. The management structure is complicated at best. Titles and "power" seem to be given to those who politic their way into it, which happens at most places, but its stark when its still a small company, and when everyone knows who the top performers are. The compensation and bonuses can be fair but most don't know how its calculated. To this day I'm not sure if that is intended so there's room for interpretation, or its just an oversight in not making it a priority to explain to agency recruiters coming in to join levelup. Its led to a gossip heavy culture in some aspects if you get involved in it. The lack of transparency with all of the above has left people there with a sense of frustration, but no one to talk to about it. There's also no 360 degree feedback sessions to voice these concerns, or even yearly performance reviews, which again, leads to more gossip.
