Pros

Robert Half can be a great place to grow your career. If you can get through the first year the benefits are great. Great vacation policy, good commission structure, overall very good benefit structure.

Cons

The staffing industry in general is not for wimps. Many people don't understand this and there is a high degree of turnover.

Pros

The best thing about working for RHI was the flexibility to take time off. Please note that recruiters do NOT have that same flexibility. They are expected to work 10 to 12 hour days every day, without a break, no exceptions.

Cons

I've worked in recruiting for a long time, and this is hands-down the worst company I've ever worked for. The internal attitude toward their temps is tolerant at best, and contemptuous at worst. Management's impossible goal setting fosters a workplace rife with unpleasant competition, as well as the negativity that comes from an environment where no one feels secure in their positions. RHI employs a "burn n' churn" method of dealing with employees - wring every last drop out of them as fast as possible, fire them when they falter, and move on to the next. It makes for a shockingly high turnover rate, and consistent dissatisfaction in the lack of continuity, both from temps and clients.

Pros

Co-workers are great and most are really helpful. I met some wonderful folks there and maintain friendships to this day. Excellent outside training programs in most departments. It is a very challenging environment that never slows down. You will always stay busy and rarely be bored. Lot's of social functions too.

Cons

Highly stressful environment with no consideration for work / life balance. You always feel like your job is on the line even when you are producing quality work. Organizational structures are constantly changing which contributes to this unstable feeling. They will use you until you are all used up then kick you to the streets when they are done. Low pay. Lot's of favoritisim. You can make huge mistakes without repercussions if you are in with the right crowd, otherwise any mistake can get you fired. Management style is hit and miss, some are really good while others are completely incompetant.
