Pros

You get paid and meet some cool people, nothing more

Cons

Worst company I have worked for in my entire life. I would rather scrub toilets than ever work at this company again. The management style is awful. They simply hire 30 people a month and fire 25 within two weeks. If you are unlucky enough to be the remaining 5, your managers will make sure you have the most unpleasant experience possible. They have absurdly unrealistic KPIs and make it impossible for anyone to succeed. There is constant micromanaging and I can't emphasize how useless every meeting is. They want you to attend and have your camera on for every meeting yet the meetings are nothing more than 30 minutes of complimenting each other and have nothing of real value. They teach you how to be the worst salesperson ever by contacting a prospect 18 times. Yes, 18 times. Their methodology is outdated and backward and leads to little to no success. They fearmonger every employee and threaten you with termination week after week unless you can attain the most absurd KPIs. They had to rebrand over 5 times because of how poor of a reputation they have and how much everyone in the market thinks poorly of them. I can go on and on about how miserable this company is. If you work here, please look for a new job ASAP. This is only a good role if you enjoy slaving away with no appreciation for your work and like being treated like an irreplaceable piece of garbage. Your entire family could die and they would expect you to hit your numbers by Friday or else you're fired. Please listen to this post and don't bother working here, let alone apply.

Pros

The collaborative internal teams who work day to day and understand tough markets and the highs and lows. The reality of the hard work, grind and the wins in the market. People! I love Nicole, her empathy and down to earth approach is golden but not sure this is the reality as those above and below, are not delivering the message in the same way. Keep trying Nicole, the drip will take a long haul. Awesome new President!

Cons

The true REALITY of change! The LOSS in the new year! The new year has brought so much disappointment! So many great people left or were let go - Big producers, amazing trainers and lots and lots of really great people. The new brand does not reflect this new vision, direction and restructure. It is not a beautiful world in the LHH organization. The new compensation plans for ER really took everyone by surprise, the change in moral has it hard , and the lack of empathy is nothing I have ever seen in my 40 years of working. The leadership is turning a cheek. The company had such an opportunity to get new people up and running, give them a chance to shine on a comp plan that kept people happy and striving to build their business and relationships. The 10-20 year veterans are gone! The company consistently changes vision, plan, comp, again and again - hurts the blood sweat and tears of those who have given their all. Each year change after change, and now going back to the year 2000-2005 and reinventing the good old days when we should have evolved in 2025 and begin to trend to the the next step of greatness. Back to the Future movie started in 2025 at LHH! Grab your popcorn! Compensation COMMISSION DRAWS are old school and if you are shooting for GP dollars, then get paid off of what the company is getting paid on. Why change what was working! GREED! Announcement - If you hit a million dollars, you get a pair of LHH tennis shoes - wow! I think if you made a million dollars for the company, I think you can buy your own shoes and run! Systems they continue to push on employees to input data and make call after call, LHH needs to invest on 2 platforms and bridge them together. In addition, invest in/on reporting by design, create and generate reports that works for the teams. How about those, Joso boards, they are back and up and running! Invest in better tools and less of them. KPI drill down is more of a smack down - meeting after meeting to hear the same thing - If you are one to enjoy meetings and being micromanaged this is the company for you! Oh and by the way, you never meet HR the entire time you are with the company - very odd! I thought they are your support, the driver of culture and fairness.

Pros

You can collect a check for 3 months

Cons

Do you like cold calling your friends and family to ask them to use temp workers all day? Do you like being treated like a child and then being laid off after 3 months for not meeting unrealistic goals? Well then buddy, I’ve got a job for you. You create your own leads and cold call all day. They have a system where you find the names of people they’ve called a million times or that no longer even work at the company. They hire 20 people at a time and bank on 2-3 being good enough at shmoozing to keep on staff, everyone else gets laid off. It’s basically a ponzi scheme where if you do finally a sale, they profit and you don’t make money until you make $8000 IN COMMISSION which was not communicated at any point in the hiring process. Teammates of mine even asked if everyone knew that was the agreement, they did not. I’ve also known people who have used them to get jobs and they are mostly incompetent. They prey on people and that is the job. They tell you to lie to clients but hey they also dress up in stupid Batman costumes and make you meditate for 15 minutes on Mondays. Stay far away unless you love cold calling dead leads and getting laid off with no warning. I swear they used this guy who “worked at LHH for 5 years and switched to sales” who sold 30 placements in his first 2 weeks on cold calling friends and family to pretend that was possible. You don’t have to take my word but good and nice people were laid off with me as well. RUN AS FAR AS YOU CAN FROM LHH AND THEIR PONZI SCHEME BUSINESS
