Pros

If you're cut throat, willing to throw your grandmother under a bus to get ahead, this place can make you a lot of money. Be prepared to fight your teammates for every dollar - because they'll try to take it from you. RHI underpays, so employees have to play dirty to make a decent paycheck. They fly you out of state for your training. Free vacation, to the most unappealing place in your quadrant of the country!

Cons

Doing a good job is never as important as the numbers you hit. You could be giving your clients sub-par product (staff), but if you hit your targets, it doesn't matter. You're trained to be pushy, then when clients complain the management team tells you that you lack people skills. This company loves meetings. They have morning meetings, afternoon meetings, end of day meetings, month end meetings, quarter end meetings, year end meetings, end of week meetings. If you want to get your work done, you have to set time aside (usually after working hours) to get it done. Your work hours are spent talking about how you should be improving your productivity (can you say irony?).

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

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.
