Pros

None. Period. This was the worst job imaginable on several levels. I dreaded coming to work on a daily basis. See cons below.

Cons

Management - completely clueless and really unethical. Work/life balance. They say this is better than other agencies. I didn't see that at all. If you left before 5:30 you would hear about it. No repeat clients/customers. The account management team thinks they RHT is better than the competition and gouges their customers to the point that they won't come back for more after one placement. The applicant tracking system was pathetic - it was clunky and ugly. Not user friendly. Get out of the 90s. Completely immature working environment. While I was there I knew of at least 6 other recruiters looking to leave. It was a complete disaster of a company and everyone was miserable other than the branch manager, division directors, and new hires who didn't realize they hated it yet. Run from this place as fast as you can.

Pros

Not much to say here, unfortunately.

Cons

In the technology practice, the unwillingness to adapt to a rapidly changing market can no longer be ignored. Too many decisions continue to be justified by the mindset of "this is the way we've always done things," even when those approaches are becoming less effective or counter-productive. While competitors evolve their business models, recruiting strategies, and client engagement practices, continues to be reluctant to challenge long-standing processes and assumptions. The impact of this resistance to change is becoming increasingly visible in the market. Clients and candidates have more options than ever before, and perceptions of the organization are being shaped by experiences that no longer align with current expectations. Without a willingness to listen to feedback and embrace new approaches, there is a real risk of causing lasting damage to the company's reputation, employee retention, and long-term competitiveness.
