Pros

Weekly paycheck paid on time.

Cons

I was hired for full-time work but did not receive 40 hours consistently due to a lack of available work. The recruiter who assigned me the job instructed me to inform them of any issues, but when I did, I was told without warning that I would not be continuing with that job assignment. This was a remote job, and the manager assigned to us was consistently rude and dismissive. I professionally defended myself from the manager's inappropriate comments and was unfairly labeled troublesome. Despite my efforts to communicate my availability weekly, Robert Half did not find me another remote position. I attempted to request a different recruiter to help me find work, but my request was not granted. The original recruiter misled me by promising open communication, which was not upheld. Most of the time, my messages to recruiters were unanswered, resulting in no follow-up. I hold myself to a standard where I will not tolerate being disrespected by colleagues or supervisors. I value mutual respect in all my interactions.

Pros

"Share some of the best reasons to work at Creative Group" - I would share some if I had some. I'll be honest; this company might as well be called a slave ship. RH and TCG churns people and spits them out with no remorse. They do not care about your future. All they care about is how many interviews you can bring in per week. It's called a QUOTA folks. Very unfortunate, considering I thought at first I was actually helping people.

Cons

This company sees a dollar sign above everyone's head. That is just about as unethical as a company can get. Very unpleasant experience.

Pros

Some great people who work at this company, unlimited income potential and a great training ground for their industry of expertise

Cons

In contrast to the great people with this company, there are sadly very few true leaders and people you believe in to do the best things for your career and to follow. The branches are only as good as your local management, and in many cases that leaves a lot to be desired. Many people in management are burned out and coasting in their jobs, or in jobs that are levels over where they should be, and they fall short of expectations and being able to handle what's on their plate. They are also very disconnected from the everyday business going on. There are serious issues with inter-branch collaboration, and a lot of back stabbing in the company environment as a whole. It also seems that management continues to move people into a failing market for the company without any regard for their future with the organization or whether it's a good move for that person personally, but only to fill the spots they have open at the time.
