Pros

Earning potential and networking: don't kid yourself here! Robert Half offers a commission-only salary structure that gives you the potential to make six figures by year two. It's true, you can make quite a lot of money, and meet a lot of great people, but at great cost to you.

Cons

Impossible expectations: Robert Half leaves you with unobtainable goals to hit every week or month, and consistently knocks you down when you don't reach these. Expect to make upwards of 50 calls daily, have these tracked, and have corporate trainers/directors sit next to you and critique your every move. Not for the faint of heart... even the most outgoing, extroverted professional will struggle to meet expectations. Turnover is VERY high. Cubicles lined up in a call-center environment.

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.
