Pros

You can collect a check for 3 months

Cons

Do you like cold calling your friends and family to ask them to use temp workers all day? Do you like being treated like a child and then being laid off after 3 months for not meeting unrealistic goals? Well then buddy, I’ve got a job for you. You create your own leads and cold call all day. They have a system where you find the names of people they’ve called a million times or that no longer even work at the company. They hire 20 people at a time and bank on 2-3 being good enough at shmoozing to keep on staff, everyone else gets laid off. It’s basically a ponzi scheme where if you do finally a sale, they profit and you don’t make money until you make $8000 IN COMMISSION which was not communicated at any point in the hiring process. Teammates of mine even asked if everyone knew that was the agreement, they did not. I’ve also known people who have used them to get jobs and they are mostly incompetent. They prey on people and that is the job. They tell you to lie to clients but hey they also dress up in stupid Batman costumes and make you meditate for 15 minutes on Mondays. Stay far away unless you love cold calling dead leads and getting laid off with no warning. I swear they used this guy who “worked at LHH for 5 years and switched to sales” who sold 30 placements in his first 2 weeks on cold calling friends and family to pretend that was possible. You don’t have to take my word but good and nice people were laid off with me as well. RUN AS FAR AS YOU CAN FROM LHH AND THEIR PONZI SCHEME BUSINESS

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.
