Pros
If you are recruiter and you enjoy recruiting for an agency or staffing firm than you will do well at CyberCoders. You will be very successful if you have experience and not in need of too much guidance. They have great technology and ATS to make your job very easy. I wouldn't necessarily say that the company has great work life balance, to be honest no staffing agency will, but what they offer is flexibility on your schedule if you need to.( As long as you're hitting some numbers- nowadays). They offer hands off management and give you the range to run your own desk and go after positions that you want to work. If you work really hard and get lucky with some great clients, you have the opportunity to make a lot of money. Great Bonus structure for hitting numbers. Always celebrating employees. It is really a good environment to work in you can take control of your desk. It is not a cut throat environment they are always willing to help you out.
Kontras
The company was just bought out by On Assignment and and are a few changes that took place and are taking place. These changes are unfortunately changing the dynamic of the company and the culture that inspired a lot of people to take the job in the first place. One of the major stressor of the job is that you get paid on a draw( just understand that this means 100% commission so you aren't confused). Adding to that stress is the new added pressure from the parent company to stay under that draw. There is no work life balance, you can have clients all over the US and they can demand you at anytime.( But you can take that from home) It is very Quarterly based, the more you make in one quarter the better, even if you have a good year, it's about billing over $100k in one quarter . The company is growing, though growth is good, this limits the resource pool for recruiters, and therefore limits your influence or ability to attract new clients. There is not a lot of promotions or growth, mostly the recruiters are complaisant , just comfortable with just recruiting..forever. Benefits fully cover the employee( not great if you have a family)
