The Best Training , But the Worst Ethics and Management Ever
Pros
They really teach you the business. Learning the business here is like going to a prestigious college. No staffing firm is even midly able to compete with this training program. Unfortunately, they throw you into the deep end and expect results instantaneously.
Cons
No matter how well you do, you are only as good as your last sell. Max Messner preaches ethics first, but seems perfectly okay with his company coming back to his commission based employees and asking them to take continuous pay cuts and has the audacity to ask the managers at his company sell it to the employees as a benefit. Since everyone in the company must pay for their seat before bonusing this seems completely ridiculous. Additionally, the company sponsors "a volunteer toy drive program" at Christmas time, but then keeps track of how many toys each employee donates, and badgers each and every employee for not giving the most. Additionally, they ask their employees to use it as a sales technique to bring in clients. No matter how you slice it this is a sales ploy and done only under the guise of making Robert Half Inc. look charitable. Additionally, Robert Half does state of unions where they ask for suggestions in an "anonymous box", but then go through the questions to ensure only the easy to field questions are picked. It is seen as a complete and under joke by all employees and fools no one. Lastly, managers are promoted not based on their performance, but based on their ability to micromanage, and control their employees, but any means possible.
