Pros

Well-known within the industry. Sometimes that is a con, but RHI does provide candidates with better benefits than most other staffing firms. Because of their national and international presence, it is always possible to transfer, though internally posted jobs aren't always open or real, making this process difficult.

Cons

Completely technologically backward. They are so bent on having employees tethered to their desks, that it is discouraged by management (and not very technologically possible) to ever work from home, even for a few hours. RHI does not in any way support a good work-life balance, except in the case of senior management in regional offices. Though 2 measly weeks of vacation is allotted to every employee, everyone feels too guilty to actually take the time off. Asking for a few hours in the middle of a day for a doctors appointment when you are clearly sick is enough to get the office gossips going about your lack of commitment.

Great in finding contracts for contract workers. They got me a remote job that allowed me to work from my home in the Midwest for a job in California.

Cons

Can be hard to reach at times.

Pros

Hybrid, Good benefits/PTO, offered “competitions” for gift cards, cares about employees

Cons

As a recruiting manager, I felt that the pay structure was interesting with the base pay being a “draw” - meaning that you base salary is essentially commission paid to you in advance. So if you have some slow months, it rolls over and works yourself into a hole. I think it would be a better structure if it reset every month.
