Pros

The people you work with are what make this job bearable. Other than that you get an opportunity to learn about technology, other companies, and get in front of executive level people

Cons

LONG HOURS! I cannot stress that enough. If you want a 9-5 job, this is not the place for you. You also have to compete with favoritism in this organization. One person can do whatever they want with no consequences, while if anyone else does it they will be put on a performance plan. It's all about getting commission in the recruiter role, but in reality everyone struggles to get in the commission tiers for the first 2 years (sometimes longer!). Once you reach commission, the percentage that you take home is so minimal, you wonder if it was all really worth it to get to that point. Every year the management team makes changes that are wildly unfavorable, but follow with "adoption is not an option." Oh and if you would like to get promoted there are only two routes to go, Account Manager or Recruiter Lead.

Pros

good contract customer was expectin at least a year plus of working with a a company called microsoft. made good friends at the last job i did with them.

Cons

contract barely lasted 5 months for me, less for others. I felt used as a tax write off, They laid us off without notice. We had suspected it would happen again after the first time 300 people got let go. When it happened the first time we were surprised now the second time I got to be angry. They lack communication and knowing how to handle an overpopulated work place and proper protocol about laying people off. for some people who relocated and they have still not recieved pay and since their contract is over they may not even recieve it.
