From what I've seen, it's a lot more work for the account teams with all of the extra legal and regulatory steps they have to get things through. If it's a launch brand they're really in the weeds just as much as the clients themselves.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
