Pros

-Good Benefits (health insurance, HSA, transportation, etc). -well known in the staffing industry and in general -good reputation for finding talent quickly for admin and finance job functions -Good technology and toolsets at your disposal -Great camaraderie with other team members -Decent training sessions from upper management throughout the week -Fair compensation (if you manage to stay employed there or don't get burned out)

Cons

-The staffing industry as a whole has gotten hit hard with COVID-19 economic downturn but, RH is probably getting hit the hardest. Almost half the company has been laid off. Morale is at an all-time low. -You'll spend more time planning than making calls or prospecting. It can be very cumbersome. -High turnover. More than half the team you go through orientation with will be gone within 6 months (even prior to COVID from what was told to me). -Favoritism runs rampant (see advice to mgmt) -If you're not in the mindset to put in at least 10 hour days, you will get burned out at Robert Half. -Unrealistic expectations at times

Remote work (at the time), great team, good training

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.
