Pros

Work from home?...Kind of - prepare to micromanaged like you're a child and be expected to be in either call blocks or meetings all day. No real room for independent work.

Cons

There are very few pro's for working at this company, unless, you've been in the staffing industry can can bring old clients to LHH or with one of the subsidiary companies of the Adecco Group for 2+ years. Training consists of two straight weeks, with no knowledge of the company really, doing 80+ dials a day. The next month consists of 3 hours of training, and dial expectations of 50+/day. The following month you are "doing" the job without daily classroom meetings. This company hires to fire, they consistently bring in sales classes of 20-30 reps fully anticipating actually retaining 1-3. So, you're a gambler, go for it. You will not make a commission check in this job, until minimum month 5 - all deals up until "graduating training" are split with a "tenured" sales executive. Tenured Sales Executives are treated like gods who can do no wrong - New Hire Colleagues are held to insane standards/metrics/KPI's that most tenured Sales Executives lie about to "hit". You will be told constantly that you are ONLY as good as your last day/week/sale. Bad day's/weeks are condemmed and you will be talked down to and belittled by your MD/Training Staff. They will make you feel like you aren't good enough. Rules of engagement with contacts/accounts is 100% different IN seat from what is taught in training - again, this is where tenured reps are treated like royalty. You will be told, that this is NOT a 9-5 job, many times throughout training. Which is FINE, but you are paid on a salary that is pretty low in the grand scheme of things, and again, you will not earn a commision until, optimistically, month 5 or 6 - MOST likely, month 8/9.

Unpaid time is expected

Pros

(background: Hired as Resume Reviewer, until RR job recently ended for all and was replaced by Personal Branding Specialist role - both remote employee positions) 401K with 4% match + basic ACA compliant health insurance after 6 months for part timers Work from home with some flexibility. Pay rate is okay (not high) comparatively (however, again, there is more time required than is billable ) Co-workers across the company, (outside of management level) were generally helpful and kind.

Cons

My overall impression of LHH overall and the Learning Center department is that neither of them value their employees nor invest in them. Unpaid time is expected, too. First, expect a slow start – standard 1+ month from hire to actually begin. Consistently minimal training and zero professional development. Constructive criticism has also never seemed welcome. Management and IT staff are either overworked and/or very inefficient based on wait times and repeatedly forgotten meetings/follow ups and inefficiency/lack of attention to detail. SVP of Learning Center repeatedly said how she was known for “saving money”. How this shows up: to complete learning during any training you are basically required to spend extra, unpaid time. Same in the PBS role - the allowed billable time is not enough to complete all aspects of the job requirements. Another example: we were told we’d all become “certified professional resume writers” – a valuable, transferable credential. Instead, LHH provided very minimal in-house training for the new role, and a job title that means nothing. Constructive criticism has never seemed welcome, in fact, in my experience and observation, is actively shut down. A key example of how much (or rather, little) employees are valued/respected: no pay increase was offered any RR staff (announced in staff mtg) to take the new PBS role, which requires I’d say 50-75% more refined skill/experience, while taking away 50+% of the former scheduling flexibility. Insulting to say the least – spoke volumes about this company/department IMO. This was a big component of why I finally left, along with the unrealistic billable time allotted to do the new role (a role that can’t properly be done, or done well, in that amount of time, either, in my professional opinion - it's being oversold to corporate clients IMO….) PBS (all PT positions) are also expected to flex to FT as needed, which is just a way to keep from paying perhaps fewer staff FT benefits, IMO. What’s your tolerance for corporate BS? In many ways, I suppose much of this is "typical" - but to me, therefore, undesireable. Be prepared to be a “yes” wo/man if you want to grow in this role or with this company.
