Pros

Robert Half is the "best of class" of the staffing industry. Its extremely intelligent senior leadership team and talented staff are second to none. Working for Robert Half means you will become the best you can be. If you are up to the challenge, there is no better firm in the industry for professional growth.

Cons

This is not really a downside, but to succeed at Robert Half you must have raw talent, be willing to work hard, and the ability and willingness to grow and constantly improve. If you have the right attitude though, you don't see that as a downside. You see it as a normal day in working for the best in class!

Pros

They have an outstanding training program if you survive long enough to complete it. You also will find out if you're cut out for sales or not, if you can cut it at RHI, you can make it just about anywhere. They also put a lot of money into the location of offices, so you'll typically work someplace nice. The money can be good 90-100k, but not what they promise. Expect the compensation plan to change annually though. Since there is so much turnover, there is always room for advancement.

Cons

They will work you to the bone. Management, and Senior management long ago gave up their personal lives, and expect you to do the same. working 60+ hours a week is only the beginning, as you move up they will expect you to be there even more.

Pros

If it's the right fit for you, the money is fantastic. It takes diligence and hard work, and yes, the turnover is high, mostly because potential employees have unrealistic expectations of what they are getting into. It's important to understand that this is a sales culture and you will be managed accordingly. You need to be comfortable responding to metrics, proving yourself, and having a continual drive to succeed. Excellent place for a self-motivated individual who likes writing his/her own paycheck. At the management level, especially the management roles that also carry production responsibilities, it's an environment where you will be held accountable for your contribution to the bigger picture.

Cons

The hours are long and it can be difficult to maintain a work/life balance, especially if your workday is bookended by a long commute or if you have management responsibilities. The benefits do not include tuition reimbursement (as if you'd have time to go to school anyway).
