Pros

Robert Half International offers outstanding earning potential, provided you're prepared to work for it. There are no free hand-outs at this company, and your income will reflect your effort. Robert Half offers world class training, and capitalizes on every resource that an employee could possibly have at his/her fingertips. Upon my arrival at RHI, I told my friends that I was stepping up to the big leagues. You're surrounded by top talent, as only the very best in the business can survive this culture. It is a tough environment, but it is fair, and will reward those who perform well.

Cons

If you're un-willing to conform to the wheel, you're in the wrong place. If you have success in an unconventional manner, one poor month can be crippling, as management will always fall back on activity metrics, regardless of your aggregate performance. I've found the growth expectations, Y/Y & sequential, to be unrealistic.

Pros

Great brand recognition. Training is second to none - they successfully train accountants, techies and lawyers to sell. Opportunities to advance. Great way to stay connected within your market and be exposed to new industries.

Cons

High expectations to perform & deliver. Work load can be intense. Turnover is high and can be a demotivating factor at times.

Pros

- very robust database of candidates and clients - excellent training program for newcomers to the staffing industry - in general, co workers tend to be friendly and outgoing (depends on who your boss is and who is on your team) - a very structured environment providing a setup for success (as far as level of activity)

Cons

- extremely high internal turnover (anywhere from 70-100% a year) - management has more of a sales focus, so you cant exactly take their word for anything. they will tell you what they need to tell you in order to keep you productive (no matter how false it is) - bonus and commission structures are much better at most every other firm
