Pros

Every market and every office is different at Half and a lot of it's really driven by the people. You might get lucky and work with a solid team that has your back or work wiht a bunch of sleeze ball Shezads that will always have their hand in your pocket...it's a crap shoot. It's a metrics driven, sink or swim environment, but it can be very lucrative if you are successful. Plus, if you are successful they typically give you a lot of freedom and leave you alone to make money.

Cons

Comp plans are always changing, never for the good of the employee. They don't pay for parking anymore and on the temp side when you work "desk" expect to be there all week from 7am - 6:30pm and don't think about stepping away for lunch that week.

Pros

Hybrid, Good benefits/PTO, offered “competitions” for gift cards, cares about employees

Cons

As a recruiting manager, I felt that the pay structure was interesting with the base pay being a “draw” - meaning that you base salary is essentially commission paid to you in advance. So if you have some slow months, it rolls over and works yourself into a hole. I think it would be a better structure if it reset every month.
