Pros

Robert Half is very well known company and is best in the industry. RHI has an excellent training and provides you with all the tools you need to start an excellent career. I also really enjoyed the variety of the position. They worked on rotating schedule which consisted of sales, recruiting, and desk. The position is very sales oriented so you have to enjoy being on the phone and making customer visits. They also are generous with paid time off and have above average health benefits.

Cons

They have an extremely high turnover rate. It is scary. The fear of losing your job is always present, even if you have been there for a decent amount of time. You definitely feel like you are working for a corporation and you are just a number. They also are very big on activity. They put a huge emphasis on hitting you weekly goals and does not go unnoticed.

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
