Pros
Cool coworkers, made so many friends because of shared trauma, having a salary (a low one for what was expected of us)
Cons
Where do I even begin? I was literally trained to break employment laws here. I was trained to lowball candidates for the benefit/profit of this slimy greedy company. It’s an absolute free for all, no professionalism or ethics, candidates and clients are spammed every day and they only encourage more spamming. Some days, I’d walk in, sit down, then watch 5 of my colleagues be fired consecutively because they were given impossible numbers to hit with almost no warning. I left this company by choice several months ago and it still baffles me to this day how abusive the work environment was here when I see how a normal company functions. This was my first corporate job post college, so I really didn’t know what to expect, but that’s what they go for. New grads who are moldable, who they can guilt into having absolutely no life and intense hustle culture. The commission is an absolute joke until you hit 100k yearly in profit for this GREEDY company. When I say I put my all into this job, I let it consume me, I’m not exaggerating and it was horrible for me. I tried SO hard and struggled immensely because they don’t even have the resources to source for candidates, you only have the candidates that have been in the CRM for 10 years and get spammed every day so they hate Soliant, and the occasional applicant (which before I left, started being distributed differently and on my team, the person distributing them only sent them to guys that she had crushes on). They do random major company wide changes every once in a while. While I was there, this happened in the form of letting us recruit the entire US, then suddenly changing it to a very limited amount of states and putting us on entirely new teams where we knew nobody. My first manager was a kindhearted sweet and genuine person, which is why the company won’t promote them like they promised then ripped the rug out from under them and didn’t. My second manager was literally a robot and had no compassion, which I’m sure is because he sold his soul to this company. In order to be successful, you have to be willing to be unethical and step on toes, they encourage this and my second manager certainly did. He pretended to be concerned for my well being, then used the information he pried for against me (exactly what we are trained to do with candidates). There’s also absolutely no work life balance, 1 day of PTO a month is absolutely nuts + they force you to use PTO when you’re sick. No remote days until years in, they’d do anything to not let us be home. One time the power went out and they spent 2 hours of us just standing there before they finally let us work remote for the day. The times I was most successful is when I worked 10+ hour days, and these were also the times I was the most depressed. Also SO much drama, managers having affairs with each other and all.
