Pros

People are nice and work life balance is good

Cons

The company has not been profitable for all of 2025 and they are laying off employees in masses. However, the layoffs are framed as "being fired for performance" due to the company not wanting to pay severance to their employees. Senior leadership is highly volatile and has no real idea or understanding of the work it takes to be successful and hit/exceed metrics in the current market. Many tactics and suggestions are outdated, such as attempting for a 75% in person meeting rate per week by the end of Q2. This is quite unattainable in a current workforce that prioritizes remote and hybrid work, while requiring current LHH employees to spend hours driving around their territory each week then scolding them on not being able to complete all tasks. I was "fired" last week for "under-performance", when my revenue and KPIs proved that I had outperformed the other new hire on my team by 305%. Though they were not let go and are still working at the company. The OTE range is highly suggestive as many sales executives fail to break $55k with salary and commission in their first 2 years. Leadership constantly hangs the fact that they can fire you at any time over your head resulting in a team with low morale and motivation. Tenured employees (anyone over about 4 years) at the company are highly favored and are not held to the same expectations and rules as new hires. They do not need to hit the same in person meeting numbers and constantly "fake" their numbers to submit to leadership. Overall, I gained good experience in sales. However, I would NOT recommend anyone to take a job here as there is little room for growth, promotion, or reliability.

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.
