Pros

If you shell out for it, the healthcare package is great They allowed us to work remote for longer than some other companies The "on the ground" employees are great, I love my direct managers and teams

Cons

Low pay Extreme nepotism Employees are highly expendable unless they're a high earning sales rep or recruiter Upper management is EXTREMELY out of touch with the needs of their employees The entire recruiting structure is a pyramid and takes advantage of new employees who have to pay back a "debt" every month

Pros

Work-life balance CTO/PTO - 2 weeks first 3 years. equipment including monitor provided good admin support Good A.I. database: works most of the time, but, not all kinks worked out.

Cons

-Lack of salary increase. 2 years, no raise. -as a recruiter, you are limited to the job orders the sales team brings in. what i mean by this is you can only fill so many roles, limiting your production. For Ex: if your team brings in 10 job orders per month, that's likely all you're going to "fill" or have placements for. They say that your earnings are in your hands, but you're not in control of the job orders coming in. So, unless you're in a sales seat, your likely not going to increase your salary. -from my observations, you either get promoted to a sales seat after a year or so, or you stay a recruiter and are "stuck" in a sense. -Lacking on proper job descriptions provided per job order, unclear expectations focused on during job order intake process. -very "clicky", if you're not "in" with the crew, you're probably going to be broadsided with things that aren't ethically correct. -they'll say one thing, next thing you know, that's not the case -actions don't match up to what they preach. -rules/standards are only enforced if you're a heavy producer -never heard from Sr. Management despite promises made that "they are there whenever you need them. for myself, many emails were sent to sr. mgmt with no response.

Pros

I have worked for the company for 1.5 years. This company considers one year "tenured" RED FLAG. No one makes it past a year. The only positive thing working for this company was my intelligent co-workers that all dropped like flies. Not a single one works for the company anymore...

Cons

Very stressful job that ended up effecting my health. Their Metrics/KPI are extremely unreasonable. This job provides NO job security, praising employee's that make it past one year... (Huge Red Flag) Managers are super fake, I thought I developed good relationships working extremely hard and making them money. At the end of the day, it's never enough with Robert Half. They are all out for themselves. Mark my words. Horrible company to work for...
