Pros

If you can endure the stress and pressure to perform every month, you can make a high amount of commission during a positive economy in Houston.

Cons

After 13 years at RHI as a senior recruiter, I resigned. I knew I was always just a number and no matter how many millions I made for them in perm recruiting - finance and accounting - every month you started again at zero and nothing before that mattered. The day I left the company was the day after my miscarriage at 15 weeks. They were fully aware of the pregnancy and miscarriage and I still met my monthly quota, but when I came back - I was not only given no time off and zero sympathy, but I was brought in a room and reprimanded for the # of interview I had completed the month before and told I had to complete double the # of interviews that month to make up for my deficiency. I've been embarrassed for years to speak out about this, but it should be known. This is a terrible company to work for and you can ask anyone there that it's a revolving door, but decisions are made at the top - not in your own branch and you are just a number to them no matter what you do or have done. I'm proud of the decision I made that day to go to another company. No one should have to endure that type of stress and complete unappreciation from all management all levels.

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.
