Pros
no pros for the current company and the way it is run

focuses on metrics such as how many phone calls per week, how many people you meet with, whether you have a position for them or not. A waste of time to both the candidate and the recruiter. But don't worry it'll change next year when they come up with some other stupid plan that is ineffective. Next to impossible to get an increase in your base. I was there for nine years and never had one increase even though I routinely won contests and made year end bonus. When I first started working here it was a great entrepreneurial type company that encouraged rather than threatened the producers which are the sales people that get the positions and the recruiters that fill them. Most of the people I worked with other than management were really great people to work with. This branch went through over 100 people while I was there, that alone shows that something is terribly wrong. After I was let go I got a measly two weeks severance for my 6,000,000+ dollars I brought in (gross margin profit) for my nine years of service. They used to care about the employees, now they just care about the bottom line and management who makes way too much money compared to what they're willing to spend on the people in the field who are actually bringing in revenue .
