Pros

-Great company exposure, dedicated marketing department that does a ton of your administrative tasks for you. -Market recognition is good and bad, but your customers almost always know who RHT is. -You have market protection from other offices so you don't have to worry about someone moving in from another office somewhere. - You get credit for "flipping" job orders to other offices the first time so it will improve your margins with little work for you. -Strong database that has been filled by previous folks so cold calling is TONS easier. -Lots of support from your recruitment staff, they are great about getting hot leads to you quickly.

Cons

-Long, long, long hours. They say go home, but what they really mean is do all your planning and get everything done and then go home. Make sure you get things wrapped up and planned for the next day or you will pay for it. -It is the RHT way or no way, not necessarily a con, just know that if you don't like the way they do things, it will never change. The most common response is Robert Half has been doing it this same way for the past 60 years, why would you not do it our way? -High turnover, typical of recruiting. If you can make it 9 months you are home free but the first nine months are TOUGH, be prepared!!

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.
