Pros

Large company, expenses your millage, client meals; if you are good at what you do you can get a good bonus, some colleagues are delightful If you are able to place candidates and make sales consistently, management treats you very well and everyone treats you nicely

Cons

- low base salary - Robert Half takes a huge portion of the money you bring in, and what is left of you can leave you in a deficit. You could make the company a ton of money and still take home very little. - some colleagues are territorial and tell you not to speak with their candidates; can start fighting with you over percentage money split, which is very immature. Some people have very low IQ. - A lot of people drink the cool-aid and are inflexible and unfair - High turnover rate; people get fired out if they don't perform

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
