Pros

The biggest pro to working at RHI is you will greatly appreciate any other job you get soon after. If you are a people person you may also enjoy your client visits although you have to speed to get to them and get back because if you're gone too long the entire office has a fit.

Cons

MICRO MANAGED!!! My second week of work at about 11:15 PM my manager (who sits right next to you all day every day) ran my report to see how many connection calls I had that morning because I took my headset off to organize the mess on my desk. Later in a one-on-one meeting he scolded me for only having 12 connections and stopping to organize my work space. Your work day starts at 7:30AM and ends at 6:00PM with no breaks and lunch at your desk while still answering calls literally with food in your mouth. Your one-on-one meetings are designed to break you down because they think this motivates people to achieve higher numbers. It's similar to a cult and they even tell you, you will eventually have "Robert Half Swagger." They're referring to the few that actually last there longer than 6 months to a year because they are too stupid to realize they are being brain washed and work in a sick twisted environment. Quite frankly, the whole organization is a rip off. I don't recommend doing business with them nor do I recommend working there unless you have zero creativity, want to sound like a robot, and enjoying wearing a 3 piece suit everyday only to be ball and chained to a desk and a headset.

Pros

The only pro is that you get to talk with people outside of the RHI staff when you interview outsiders and go on company visits.

Cons

Absolutely the worst work environment I have ever experienced. No one cares about the employee or the people they are staffing. Extremely unprofessional staff. If you are looking to be a better person from where you work then do not work here. The people here are slimy and skeemy. They only care about the $$. They try to low ball candidates as much as possible so that their commission is higher. I wouldnt wish the experience of working internally there on my worst enemy.

Pros

Decent pay but work culture is horrible.

Cons

The most unprofessional, leadership, with questionable ethics, who were more focused on their own paycheck than managing or team morale. At times their total lack of respect for their positions and other employees created a hostile work environment. Management openly yelled and insulted other associates and talked badly about them on the work floor. Culture lacks morale. Extremely destructive and unhealthy work place.
