1.) Medium sized company = medium sized paycheck in almost all cases unless you are a Rockstar
2.) The set up and competitive nature of the company can pit people against each other in an unhealthy way, we should really all be friends
3.) Slower to catch up on technology and modern practices
4.) Base salary is pretty low especially with the insane inflation going on THESE days, a slight increase for all every year to show appreciation and more for top performers would be good
5.) Recruiting in general can be churn and burn - this place has it but it's a hard job and long run it really makes sense that the person that you taught to recruit would eventually recruit themselves if you think about it
6.) High stress - especially from your candidates antics on the job
7.) Quotas are built so that only a portion achieve them with the expectation everyone hits them
8.) Low time off, bad work/life balance can be a problem which can make some people really bitter as evidenced in reviews
9.) Not all company functions should be a requirement!
10.) Very rarely like once every year or so you may be given an unrealistic job to work on tell that hiring manager NO, GO AWAY WITH YOUR BAD JOB
11.) Ever changing - your seat will move, your beloved team will change, your manager may change......... or worse the ATS may change lol ☠💀
12.) Micro management or lack of trust can wear you down fast but its necessary
