Pros

The pay is very good, but staying there for more than 90 days is a major accomplishment!

Cons

I left a job that paid me almost 70k a year to come work for Robert Half. This was the worst professional decision I have ever made. This was the worst professional experience of my young career. My manager told me "if I show you how to do it then I would have no time to do my own work"... Seriously?!!?!?! The fist day on the job they wanted me to take 80 calls with no training at all. This place is the worst! hours are 7:30am til 6:00pm but if your manager stays later then you are expected to do the same. Please stay away from this place, it will kill you, I promise.

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.
