Pros

This organization - nationwide - has a great office culture. It is warm and welcoming and very much team-oriented. The company has a very family-oriented nature and style. Colleagues and Associates are very caring, responsive, and helpful. In spite of how large LHH is and the 300+ offices they have worldwide, the organization is flat and the office politics are minimal. The exposure to senior leaders, executives and subject matter experts is very good - which in turn has a positive impact on professional development and advancement. The company is very customer / candidate focused. It is commonplace to see all staff members go above and beyond their roles and expectations to serve customers and candidates alike. It is rewarding to be surrounded by team members that share the same sense of purpose and furthering the mission of helping people. The benefits package is generous if you are a full time salaried colleague. The work life balance is easy to achieve here. They are supportive of all work styles including virtual options. The one factor that keeps me here the most are my direct mangers. I have been promoted faster in my eight year tenure with this company than any company I have previously worked for. The company has several recognition programs at local levels and regional levels.

Cons

The company is a tenured company - most employees have been here at minimum 7 - 10 years if not more. There are long-standing established relationships that at times can hinder or make inefficient the process of implementing change. From a technology perspective the company is still working diligently to make significant improvements and they are well on their way - the systems are still somewhat slow. There is no tuition reimbursement program. The compensation model for 1:1 consultants has room for improvement

Pros

The team was one of the strongest aspects of the organization, with many supportive and hardworking colleagues. PTO and time-off benefits were competitive, including occasional early-release days and additional time-off opportunities throughout the year.

Cons

The company culture has significantly declined in recent years, leading to lower employee morale and engagement. Micromanagement became increasingly common, while transparency and trust diminished. Although remote work was heavily promoted, there has been a shift toward a hybrid/in-office model. Office conditions often created challenges, including recurring maintenance issues and an open floor plan that made it difficult to focus and conduct private conversations or meetings. Compensation has not remained competitive with market expectations, making it increasingly difficult for employees to achieve strong earnings. Comparable staffing firms in the industry often offer higher compensation while providing similar benefits and time-off programs. As a result, retaining experienced recruiters and top performers has become increasingly challenging. Work-life balance also suffered due to the pressure of meeting KPIs and performance metrics, often requiring work outside of normal business hours to remain competitive and meet expectations. Employee engagement initiatives and team-building activities that once contributed to a positive environment have largely disappeared. There has also been noticeable turnover among tenured employees and top performers, raising concerns about retention and overall organizational direction.
