      GREAT OPPORTUNITIES + GREAT PEOPLE

      Pros

      Earning potential, growth trajectory, rewarded for hard work, fun/challenging incentives, great culture! I have been with KM for almost 2 years now - in this time I've been promoted twice from recruiter to CEM then to Sn CEM. I've made the annual sales incentive trip in Mexico! I've also learned SO much from leadership and team members. This industry is not always easy but with KM you are definitely rewarded. Being resiliant and looking at the positives goes a long way and can lead to great things for your career here. Leadership sets you up for success (especially during this pandemic). I was able to get promoted during a pandemic due to the hard work I put in and the leadership who noticed!

      Cons

      This industry is definitely revolved around the work you put in to it. Could be longer hours but it is worth it and rewarding when you see the outcome.

      Pros

      With no cap commission, fun activities, organized structure, and the want for success beaming throughout the company, KellyMitchell is a no brainer to work for. It comes with hard work and dedication, but anything is possible. Your growth opportunity is endless, goals are completely measurable and attainable, leadership is always there to guide you, and you really find a home here. Was promoted within less than a year based solely on my performance - not based on favorites. Highly recommend if you feel stuck at your current role to take the jump here!

      Cons

      No downsides to working at KellyMitchell!

      Pros

      Your destiny is in your own hands at KellyMitchell! I have worked for KellyMitchell in a couple of different cities, and it has been a rewarding experience to watch this company grow and evolve over the years. KellyMitchell has been built around hard work and integrity, and the owners are truly passionate about their employees. The best thing about working for this company is knowing that you personally have a direct influence on the direction of where we are headed. We never know what’s around the corner here at KellyMitchell or what opportunities are going to present themselves, and we are always on the hunt for enthusiastic, bright minds who want to make an impact. You pave the way for yourself at KellyMitchell. Being successful means something different to everyone – and you have the ability to make your own version of success at KellyMitchell. It is a rewarding job, and a gratifying feeling to know that every ounce of work you put into it, you are helping to shape the future of KellyMitchell.

      Cons

      So much work - we are always in need of more people!

      Pros

      KellyMitchell truly is a great place to work. It is a place where hard work is rewarded, career opportunities are endless, and where there is constant support from your team members on every level. You are never unsure of what is expected of you and working hard really pays off! You can grow your salary drastically in a short amount of time. Leadership is continuing to work on different ways to reward the top performers in a way that motivates the rest of the team. There are team building meetings during the week to keep everyone motivated and on track. You grow close to your teammates because there is a strong culture and sense of community. We are constantly pushing each other and motivating each other. While everyone is an individual contributor, there is an overwhelming sense that you are a part of something bigger and everyone is working together to meet the goals of the organization!

      Cons

      There is a lot of pressure in every position - but good pressure. You can certainly feel that you are not alone in it and that everyone is in it together. With high pressure comes high reward!

      Pros

      I took a leap of faith coming to KM from a long standing career and couldn't be happier about the decision. I did it because of the connection I had in my interviews and the reviews I saw on here ... so hopefully this review helps others! The culture here is great. They make sure to hire people that have the same drive as you. Keeps you motivated! The company is smaller but having a huge growth spurt ... you feel the impact that your role has. There is a lot of support from the director and VPs ... even the President and CEO. You feel the value of hard work. Take note - you get what you put in. The harder you work, the more it pays off. One review on here stated that and it couldn't be more true. I also read that this industry is pretty cut throat and this company makes it feel fun ... I also consider that to be very true!

      Cons

      Hard to think of any cons ... Since the company is growing so fast, I see some growing pains but nothing that can't be sorted out quickly.

      Competitive & Positive

      Pros

      After reading some of the recent reviews, I felt compelled to write something honest. I have been working at KellyMitchell for a while - and yes, this environment is competitive, it can be tough at times, and it will challenge you - but these are not negatives in my opinion. These are just a few of the reasons why I love it here. I joined KellyMitchell because I wanted the challenge. I wanted to change and grow personally and professionally and I wanted to be financially rewarded for my hard work. I can truthfully say all of these things have come true. As we continue to add to our team, we look for people who are just as motivated and driven to make these positive changes for themselves. IT recruiting and sales is hard and it's not for everyone - and that's okay. But that doesn't mean that KellyMitchell is not an amazing place to start your career if you are willing to work for it! I am proud to say that I work with a killer team that doesn't settle for anything less than the best.

      Cons

      Nothing to share right now.

      Don't listen to the naysayers

      Pros

      This is a hard job and recruiting isn’t for everyone. People expect to work 8-5 and make 80k right off the bat. No, you have to work for it and you have to work a lot. So if that doesn’t sound appealing to you- go into another industry. I’ve had mostly positive experiences here. Management wants to see you succeed and they want to see you grow. Cassandra, the CEO, is inspiring, upbeat and personable. Mark, the President, is slightly more intimidating but extremely motivating. There is definitely a work hard, play hard mentality here which is great. But, like I said, expect to put in long hours to make money. Their system is in place for a reason – it works. If you follow the system, you’ll see success and you’ll be happier with your job in the end.

      Cons

      There is a lot of micromanaging - which is good for some people but not for all.

      Pros

      KellyMitchell has been a great move for my career. I am challenged every day and am constantly learning, which is really important to me. If you have the drive, you can be very successful and I am proud to say this company has made me a better professional. I love coming into the office and investing my hard work and effort within this company that invests back into me. This is not an easy job and it’s not for everyone but if you stay positive and work hard, you will see success.

      Cons

      You can't get too high with the highs and too low with the lows. I have had my fair share of obstacles, but I wouldn't change it for anything. Each challenge teaches me something new and I have grown so much personally and professionally.

      Pros

      Great people, great culture, unlimited potential to increase your take home-pay. It is a work hard, play hard mentality, but you actually have fun while you are working. The leadership is great – motivating and encouraging. Management is very hands-on and they definitely bring out the best in their employees. It’s an open door policy and they are always open to hearing how they can improve. This is not a job where you can slack, but it doesn’t take long to see your hard work pay off.

      Cons

      Growing and changing rapidly. If you aren't comfortable with change, probably not the place for you!
