Pros
Developed a unique skill set in handling adverse and difficult situations. Room for advancement in the company.
Cons
Do not let the "Recruiter" title fool you! You spend 10% of your time actually recruiting. The rest of your time is spent putting out fires. A typical day as a recruiter will consist of dealing with unprofessional nurses/cnas who no call/no show or call out for their shifts and then communicating that to the patient's family, who usually is far from enjoyable to speak to. Then you get to take the on call phone home and continue to put out fires, even at 2am! Other day to day duties include administrative tasks like payroll or filing nurses notes. One thing Maxim stresses is that you wear many hats, probably because of the high turnover rate within the company. I found myself doing the job of 3 people (payroll, personnel coordinator, and even account manager). I'm all for being cross trained, but when you have to take over a complete role because someone quit, a pay increase is expected.
