Pros

I can't think of any reasons to work for Robert Half that are over or above the same reasons to work for another company. They've been around since the forties, so they've got staying power going for them, so that's good. They also have world-wide offices, so once you get your foot in the door, there could be the possibility of moving to another office if you like - there is a lot of turnover and so lots of internal postings for open positions. They publish a salary guide every year, so there's no reason for their employees not to know the going rate for a particular position, so you know they'll be paying the industry average, more or less! They give prizes for longevity.

Cons

It's a huge corporation, with all that implies. It takes FOREVER to get things done sometimes. The business model is sell-sell-sell and for the salespeople on the floor, it's very stressful. If you're not a type "A" big time seller and marketer, you probably won't last for very long. The administrative staff are not treated the best, maybe because they're not making money for the company. They're not outright mistreated, but can be micro-managed and taken advantage of. Corporate sends out memos detailing how well the company is doing and how much money it is making, but nickle and dime the offices until you want to tell them to shove it!

Pros

The opportunity for career growth is incredible. I have seen Account executives that produce move quickly into management. This company does not promote people because of how long they have been here, they promote people who succeed.

Cons

If you are fortunate enough to work at Robert Half, you will be challenged beyond anything you have ever imagined, and as a result you will grow as a professional as well as financially. The people who do not succeed at Robert Half are the people who think they are better than the process, or the people who are not used to working hard.

Pros

The benefits package at Robert Half is great

Cons

Where do I start? There are too many downsides to even list. Employee morale is horrible and people are jumping ship left and right. But, does it matter? What's their motto? There is an ass for every seat!!!!
