Pros
- working alongside like minded individuals - 23% commission uncapped once you're bringing the company >15K weekly (there's maybe 3-8 people in each office)
Kontras
- corporate recruiters sell you on an account manager position yet you're hired as a recruiter - a role they explain very little of because the desire is to get everyone into sales - no lead generation resources - you're on your own - lots of busy work - you do all of the paperwork associated with any "start" you secure...makes getting into a groove very hard - heavily peer pressured to drink with coworkers on work nights for "culture" - constant turnover and management is always taboo when addressing it - strict 1 hour lunch windows - minimal flexibility, feels like elementary school - no remote access or laptops provided, get used to the office setting - heavy favoritism when you're doing well, little guidance when struggling - first 6 months you're making dirt money (~15/hr) and working 50 hours a week if you want to get promoted - recruiters don't make commission (many other places pay entry level recruiters commission on their sales) - Account Managers don't make commission until after they accrue >$4,000 in weekly commission (hint - takes a few months to build your book of business) - 5 days PTO first year, then 10 in year 2, 15 in year 3...get comfy at your desk - huge divide between the IT side of the office & Accounting, Finance, Engineering side... - very little transferable job skills...you pigeon hole yourself into a staffing career if you drink the kool aid for too long - for bragging about being the "third largest IT staffing firm" our company has boatloads of IT issues and the help desk is hardly helpful....overall the tech used at IG is outdated and inefficient
