Robert Half reviews

Applicants fill out all of the normal paperwork of a W-2 employee including a non-compete before having a first assignment. A naïve new applicant can be left with the impression of being more obligated to RHT than they really are after signing an employment agreement and non-compete. If an unreasonable executive at RHT in a specific market was inclined to enforce the non-compete without ever having placed the applicant would be in an uncomfortable position. The executive would in affect be bringing the money and credibility of a large corporation to bare on a single person who has few resources relative to RHT. A nuisance suit by RHT could be difficult for a young professional to defend themselves against.

The commission structure, the quotas to meet in order to make enough commission to pay back your salary - yep, after 15 months you have to be able to pay back your salary and then you make whatever is left over. Not ideal. Sometimes you're working 12 hour days and no overtime pay - it's like you're a real estate agent, but your real estate is people.
