Pros

Seemingly they have a deep pipeline of work, typically because they are the cheapest game in town.

Cons

Weak, weak benefits like no 401k match, high insurance premiums and deductibles, mediocre pay and a dishonest bonus schedule. Take, for instance, the utilization bonus. To get this you have to BILL 480 hours in a quarter. That's 3 straight months with zero days off. Miss a day sick or take a day off and you will not get this bonus unless you make up the billable time (which defeats the purpose of taking a day off). I was told in my interview by my hiring manager "Oh, I always make sure my people get this bonus!" so I considered that as part of the salary I would easily earn there. Nope. Total BS. Also, if you are going to work here as a hiring manager know that if one of the customers where you've placed a contractor falls behind on paying their bills (or goes bankrupt) they pass that loss of revenue on to you. Yep, if RHT doesn't get paid then they screw you out of the commission earned by doing your job and placing a person. Later when they collect in court do they pay back commissions? Highly doubtful. Probably a good place to spend a small amount of time if you have zero experience but it is a sweat shop. Currently looking for a new position.

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.
