Pros

The earning potential is very real, however much lower than most competitors in the industry.

Cons

Most unethical company in the market. First of all, only about half of your bill rates are getting passed on to the consultants. This company is accountable to the shareholder first, so pay rates are marked up nearly 100%. Furthermore, the recruiters are all entry level college kids. So you'll have to sell their candidates, which are rarely a good fit for the client, at the highest rate in the market. Other managers, myself not included, cannibalize their new hires. They let them crack a few new accounts, grow some GM, then fire them and take the margins and accounts for themselves. You'll normally see this in the markets with very high revenue producers that are managers like, Minneapolis, Chicago, Salt Lake City, Raleigh, Atlanta, and Charlotte. The management is so unprofessional, it's a surprise that this company is still in business. After leaving, Robert Half tried to sue because I was stealing business from them, which I wasn't. They tried to get me fired from my next job, which didn't work. Then, after all of that, they threatened physical harm to me and my family if I continued to compete for business in "their" market, which I wasn't. This company is a criminal enterprise and it's only a matter of time before their management in indicted in court.

Pros

Good money and corporate training. Good if you are right out of college and looking for a stepping stone. Only good for 1 year max.

Cons

Culture is bad. Forced to lie to clients and candidates all the time. Management is sneaky and quick to intimidate the employees. Rules by fear and micro-management. Do as I say not as I do type of management.

Pros

Good healthcare benefits, 401k, and dental. Location is also prime, right off of route 80, GS parkway, and 21. Gym, lunchroom, and work hours are decent.

Cons

My supervisor was unprofessional and allowed the rest of the staff to be very unprofessional at times. It's a "good ol boys" club at this location and everyone looks out for themselves and their friends. Also, the team I worked for was very condescending and sometimes racist. I have nothing positive to say about the people at this particular location.
