      Pros

      Great marketing team, arguably one of the best in the recruitment industry. Lots of international offices to talk about. Above average salaries. Some really fun people work here.

      Cons

      Management decisions (from board level) are impulsive and reckless often with no long term plan, the effect of this can be seen in the short tenure of employees and burnt client relationships (only a handful of employees have worked at the company for longer than 1-2 years). They are particularly good at dangling a carrot of untold riches and possibilities. You'll be promised the world but beware many many people have fallen for that one before! I would advise anyone considering working for Proco to reach out to some ex-employees, I'm sure they will be willing to share experiences and entertaining stories.

      Pros

      Work hard play hard mentality. You bill, you make money, simply put. You work hard, you are awarded, simply put. Supportive environment. The business is patient to allow people time to get up and running. If the business sees that you are putting the effort in, they will help you and support you to get to your goals.

      Cons

      The business, like every other company in the world has had to make changes and look at how they approach the market and overall, the internal landscape. Perhaps those decisions weren't easy for the business, but everything that was done was with everyone's best interest in mind.

      Hi Tim, thanks for your review, Interesting - but not entirely factual. Firstly, whilst it hasn't been our greatest year, as with the vast majority of companies in our industry, There have been an awful lot of headwinds over the past 12 months that go a long way to explaining that. Secondly, we have lots of great people in this business who have understood that, knuckled down and produced incredible results. You weren't one of them, having billed less than your day rate over the previous 18 months (which I'm sure you haven't told your new employer). Interestingly, our best two months of the year have been since you left which I'm sure is a coincidence, but it feels quite symbolic. Finally, thank you for your "strategic" advice, I'll be sure to take it all on board. I wish you well Tim.
