Pros

Robert Half is a global business and you really can move anywhere in the world with them. Those who perform well will always be rewarded financially and with corporate gifts to one of their many high achievers events. The training is excellent and I genuinely believe that if you are not succesful with RH then give up recruitment and find another job.... This ain't the career for you. It's awesome for the awesome folk!

Cons

Lack of female leadership and a real sense of the boys brigade leading the way.... All management seem to be friends with one another and they speak about their employees behind their backs. A lot of people feel really intimidated by the constant cheap talk and sleezy attitude of some of the men. This seems to be bred into them by Senior management....

Job is very fast-paced, but that is to be expected at a staffing agency

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.
