Pros

It will launch your recruiting career, you learn a lot in a quick period of time, you can make a lot of commission if you are good at it

Cons

very political work environment, must make alliances or become friends with the right people in order to move up, very low salary, micromanaging structured work days by all management, very competitive (dog-eat-dog structure), if you don't produce money for the company they have no loyalty towards you, very difficult to succeed

Pros

There really isn't much to say for this category. The individuals who work here are, generally, great colleagues but...

Cons

Micromanagement. Do NOT even think about taking a lunch break. If you want to leave 1 minute before 5:30 you better have special permission. Catty management. When "the big guys" come into the office it's like Mrs. Trunchbull is in town. If you do a good job, great, no one cares. Want to advance and move up in your career? Nope. Not happening here. Awful. Terrible. The worst job I've ever had.

Pros

They really teach you the business. Learning the business here is like going to a prestigious college. No staffing firm is even midly able to compete with this training program. Unfortunately, they throw you into the deep end and expect results instantaneously.

Cons

No matter how well you do, you are only as good as your last sell. Max Messner preaches ethics first, but seems perfectly okay with his company coming back to his commission based employees and asking them to take continuous pay cuts and has the audacity to ask the managers at his company sell it to the employees as a benefit. Since everyone in the company must pay for their seat before bonusing this seems completely ridiculous. Additionally, the company sponsors "a volunteer toy drive program" at Christmas time, but then keeps track of how many toys each employee donates, and badgers each and every employee for not giving the most. Additionally, they ask their employees to use it as a sales technique to bring in clients. No matter how you slice it this is a sales ploy and done only under the guise of making Robert Half Inc. look charitable. Additionally, Robert Half does state of unions where they ask for suggestions in an "anonymous box", but then go through the questions to ensure only the easy to field questions are picked. It is seen as a complete and under joke by all employees and fools no one. Lastly, managers are promoted not based on their performance, but based on their ability to micromanage, and control their employees, but any means possible.
