Pros

After your ramp-up/training period you can make a good amount of money with RHI. Most people are nice to work with as well. The training is very detailed and helpful for the business world in general. It just takes a very specific type of person to work here (someone who enjoys inside sales, works long hours, & doen't need privacy).

Cons

The downsides can really outweigh the good at this company. RHI micromanages more than any place I have seen or heard. You have absolutely no privacy with the way the workspaces are set up. This job is not for those interested in "outside sales," because you are in the office about 85% of the time, 15% at appointments......no home office or other setting of your own schedule. Word of advice: If you decide to work here, stay far away from the temp-staffing side and go for permanent placement staffing. Working with temps and temp placement is a nightmare! One other thing is other employees/managers with no life on the outside world make you feel guilty if you leave to go home at the end of the day before 6PM.

Pros

Robert Half gives more recruiting tools than you could ever use, RPS, LinkedIn, job postings, AI, Zoom Info, etc... They spend their money investing back into the company.

Cons

They don't give any stock options or even the ability to purchase stock at a discount. It's a publicly traded firm without a key benefit most associate with that.
