Pros

Work from home I set my own schedule - great for people who want a lot of flexibility Mostly wonderful career consulting candidates who are grateful for the help Very supportive managers Fantastic candidate portal Someone else takes care of resume writing They have support groups for candidates -> The work is spread for each candidates - Career Consultants are just one part of their support system There seems to be upward mobility for people on the corporate career track Excellent resources

Cons

Countercyclical industry: when I was hired last year, lots of companies were laying off people and Lee Hecht had a lot of candidates in the hopper. Now there is a lot less work for career consultants (which is not the company's fault) The pay is not great Hours employees don't get paid for online company townhalls and other company wide or regional meetings It's not a good job for people who are not well organized - career consultants have to proactively reach out to their candidates on a regular basis and hit their allocated hours - tough cookies when candidates cancel on short notice

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.
