Not for the faint of heart

Pros

- Potential springboard for a better recruitment or sales job

Cons

Simple - enforces poor mental hygiene for little reward. The job requires so much of you in order to be successful. Its a cult-culture that takes young grads and imposes values of toxicity, frat boy, and zero work life balance. They've had to make so many changes because their attrition (people leaving) was so high. To imagine it was worse than current working conditions is hard to imagine.. You don't need to have a high stamina for cold calling candidates and companies in order to be successful. That's why I'm currently interviewing to get the heck out of dodge.

Terrible company

Pros

It's located in Downtown, Toronto.

Cons

Please do not join this place unless its your only choice. The pay is significantly low for market - that's how they prey on fresh grads and capitalize on their lack of experience. Run, and find something better. The one's who have been there forever have developed a weird cultlike stolkholm syndrome - where they've been groomed to convince others that this is the only, and best place to be. They do this, by treating you like absolute garbage, and then breadcrumbing you with compliments here and there. Its as toxic as you are gonna get.
