Robert Half reviews

They cannot hold onto an employee for more than 6 months. 10 hour workdays. 8am meetings every day in every office. If you come in at 8:01, one of your 5 managers that sit in the call center next you will let you know about. Technical hours are 8-5:30, but most employees work 7-6pm. No work/life balance. The cubes are 3.5 feet wide. All emails are read, they check for keywords including names of managers. They expect "25 connects" daily entered into their database, MicroJ. A connect is call with someone, you may have to make 10 cold calls to get 1 connect. If you are not entry level do not work here. Be weary of reviews from (Division Directors, Regional Directors or from Menlo Park, that is their headquarters). A website like this spells disaster for a company like Robert Half. The commission structure ddoes not reward you until you work there for a full year.

I was employed in a support role, there was a large volume of work and a limited amount of time to get it done. But completing your tasks has a direct result on the bottom line for the company. The Staffing Managers do work long hours. But when business is good, they are very well compensated. In today's economy they're still working those same hours but they won't be bringing home the same paychecks they enjoyed. You have to take the good with the bad.
