Pluspunten

Virtually none that are related to the organization. However, the profession of recruiting isn't altogether negative. It's a good opportunity to positively impact people's lives by giving them access to newer/better career opportunities. My advice is to seek that profession at a different company.

Minpunten

Where do I start? -Management is not collective or collaborative. From manager to manager you will find completely differing opinions on what needs to be done and how. This trickles down to form a very disjunct community of frustrated people. -You are nothing but a number. One of my colleagues was let go because she needed time off when her boyfriend died in a car accident. They promised her position back when she was more stable. When she returned (2 days later...) they let her know that her position was no longer available and they essentially "didn't expect her to return". -Turnover is horrendous. Take this from someone who has been in sales/retail (high turnover roles) my entire career. I saw 90% of my team turnover in 3 months. Never to be backfilled. -I reported into 4 different managers in 6 months. -My metrics changed 3 times. -I received no training aside from 1 week at bootcamp to assist me in on boarding and ramping up. -Healthcare is expensive and provided by a carrier with high co-pay that is not readily accepted. -Management has no business development plan or market penetration strategy. Everybody is left to do this on their own which is incredibly inefficient.

Pluspunten

Loved my team. My Manager was incredibly supportive, understand, and always rooting for myself as well as my teammate's success. Remote work was highly flexible and accommodating.

Minpunten

Pay was a little low and you don't get paid for holidays in your probationary period but there's growth opportunities after 6 months of employment.

Pluspunten

Recruiter was responsive at first, and the team I spoke with at the client company seemed professional and genuinely kind.

Minpunten

Here’s a more detailed “Cons” you can use and tweak: Cons: I went all the way through onboarding for a contract role, spent a full day last week chasing down and uploading sensitive documents (including my passport), and was told I’d be starting this week. Then, at the last minute, I got a single text saying I “didn’t pass” a third‑party ID check — with no explanation of what supposedly failed and no formal notice or report to review. As an American citizen using a valid passport, it’s really disturbing to have a job pulled over an opaque automated screening and to be told “other factors” were flagged without anyone willing or able to say what they were. Even after repeatedly asking, I was given no more than a generic privacy policy and bounced between contacts, which feels extremely careless with my time, my livelihood, and the very private identity data they collected. Best‑practice guidance for background checks says candidates should get clear written notice and a chance to understand or dispute issues before a job is taken away; that absolutely did not happen here.
