Pros

I wish I had something positive to say but I don't. Oh wait, the office is nice if you like Donald Trump's tacky style of decorating.

Cons

There is NO integrity at this company. They change compensation packages constantly. They aggressively recruit recruiters from the industry who have a 'book of business' and then they will isolate or wean them off them from their book of business and then change their comp plan or even more unethical, they will fire them. Then CEO Mr. Leo Russell tries to intimidate people with bogus lawsuits who can't afford an attorney. He uses his shills including in-house counsel and senior managing directors to do his bidding. This dude Mr. Leo Russell is one shady CEO, basically getting his senior "henchmen" to do his dirty work. They also claim to be all about "stakeholders" and company culture. This is the biggest bunch of nonsense I have ever seen! They tried to get me to talk about #WhyRTA for their #WhyRTA social media campaign. Oh please. Nope, I won't drink that Kool Aid. The truth is that they hire people who they can inculcate into thinking that they have some moral high ground, or actually care about them. IT'S ALL SMOKE AND MIRRORS. BEWARE! Well, I could go on and on but I now have a real job with humble ethical owners and management team and I am motivated to do my best so I will stop this review. One last question: How much money does Mr. Leo Russell make, and other managing directors make compared to the the people who are actually making the business happen? Someone should look into this. I believe their "stakeholders" would be surprised.

Pros

The people at Russell Tobin, Rich Gallagher in particular, went above and beyond to assist in finding me a new position. As someone who has encountered multiple, and often flaky, recruiters, Russell Tobin was by far the best.

Cons

There were none. Rich Gallagher was on top of potential job prospects, kept me in the loop, and guided me towards companies that were interested in my background.

Pros

The culture was actually great during my tenure with Russell Tobin. I recently left about 2 months ago but I had such a great time with the company the year and half I was there. People get fired for being lazy and given chance after chance and come on here to complain that it's the company's fault when in reality it was them. Sure not everything is perfect, but if you try, you're going to love it there. - Great Happy Hours - Fun young culture - Great outside of work activities

Cons

-Young company still growing so has it's hiccups but you can see they're trying and using every resource they have to offer -Compensation could be a bit better
