Pros

The Creative Group is one of 7 divisions of world wide corporation Robert Half International and on the face it appears that all divisions not only work together but support each other. RHI wins numerous awards each year for being a dominant player in the staffing business.

Cons

The Creative Group has an amazing turnover rate somewhere near 80% in the first year with Permanent side Recruiting Managers having to earn $30,000 in sales in the 90 day training period, in order to earn commissions in the first 3 months. At the start of your 4th month, the compensation turns to a 100% recoverable draw in which, if you haven't already sold $30,000 worth in your first 3 months, you actually have to pay that back, before future commissions can be earned. Thus, it's possible to not earn any commissions in the first 6 months, but still remain employed. This, is not discussed during the job interview/employment negotiation period. Nor, is any reference to 'turnover' ever discussed. You are initially told it's a "recoverable draw" but only after the first 90 days. What you're not told is that you need to sell $30,000 in the first 90 days to have that go into effect. If you don't, all sales after month 3, go to pay back whatever draw you were paid in your first 90 days. It's actually possible to work almost 9 months and never earn a cent of commission, while not only generating successfully filled job orders, but also placing candidates in your co-workers' jobs. Again, none of this is discussed up front during the interview process.

Pros

Internal customer service, friendly staff

Cons

Robert Half International is abusive toward employees. I know.... I'm still one of them. The company is not concerned as to whether or not employees have manageable workloads. I have worked for the company for over a year and have a report to but NO Manager! There are employees that are taking advantage of this and there are those of us who are paying the consequences of those employees taking advantage. I would inquire with management for guidance and help but who do I go to??? I have been told that we will soon have a Branch Manager starting soon. The Branch Manager that will be starting soon is going to be a Production Branch Manager. That means that we will soon be depending on a Sales person to do an Operation Manager's job. In turn that means that there will be almost no change operationally. The Production Branch Manager will be SO consumed with heavily attempting to bring in revenue that everything else will be ignored thus continuing our dysfunctional office. Also, the company hasn't been giving annual increases. My coworker hasn't been given so much as a cost of living increase in 4 years.
