Pros

The best reason to work here is if you are looking for an entry level position (they are always hiring) or are passionate about HR, it gives you an opportunity to learn about local businesses. Take the information you learn on processes, business culture to a much better job!

Cons

They cannot hold onto an employee for more than 6 months. 10 hour workdays. 8am meetings every day in every office. If you come in at 8:01, one of your 5 managers that sit in the call center next you will let you know about. Technical hours are 8-5:30, but most employees work 7-6pm. No work/life balance. The cubes are 3.5 feet wide. All emails are read, they check for keywords including names of managers. They expect "25 connects" daily entered into their database, MicroJ. A connect is call with someone, you may have to make 10 cold calls to get 1 connect. If you are not entry level do not work here. Be weary of reviews from (Division Directors, Regional Directors or from Menlo Park, that is their headquarters). A website like this spells disaster for a company like Robert Half. The commission structure ddoes not reward you until you work there for a full year.

Pros

Hybrid, Good benefits/PTO, offered “competitions” for gift cards, cares about employees

Cons

As a recruiting manager, I felt that the pay structure was interesting with the base pay being a “draw” - meaning that you base salary is essentially commission paid to you in advance. So if you have some slow months, it rolls over and works yourself into a hole. I think it would be a better structure if it reset every month.
