Pros

I've met with some of the coolest companies in NYC. That's about it.

Cons

Robert Half would be a great place to work if I never had to deal with any of my co-workers. The problem with RHI is that it breeds back stabbing. In fact, upper management wants you to step on each other to better yourself. This isn't a team environment, despite what they might say, this is all about you. You'll go out and meet with one of the hottest companies and get an amazing job order. You'll come back to the office and your teammate will come up to you, pretend to be happy, and try and steal your client right under your nose. This behavior is applauded. Guidance from management is non-existence. They expect you to learn is all on your own and they get frustrated when you don't know it all in 3 months (which happens to be the window of time you'll have to be an expert before they cut you loose).

Pros

Remote work (at the time), great team, good training

Cons

No cons against the company or my team. The bottom just dropped out of our market.

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.
