Robert Half reviews

Not really downsides per say but this what I would tell someone considering a field sales role with RHI. The environment is structured and management heavy which pushes their employees to keep up activity which is a plus, however, if you don't like to be micro managed then you would be hard pressed to be successful in their culture. Additionally, recruiters are in sales and not every candidate is placeable which is the unfortunate part of the business. Don't be fooled this is not an environment where you have a lot of time to counsel candidates that aren't highly placeable. This is a sales job through and through, which I can't really say is a downside per say, it is just good to know that going into the role.

No work / life balance. Incompetent management teams. Lack of experience within the recruiting staff. Management has no backbone to make decisions. The sales tracking model is not followed. Mediocre behavior is rewarded. They love wasting your time with meeting after meeting where you continue to talk about the same thing over and over again. They do not promote people with true leadership and/or management skills - they promote whomever has been dumb enough to stay there the longest. The people who are too lazy to get a real career stick around and become their Division Directors, Branch Managers and the ultimate waste of space - Regional Managers....
