Pros

Until all the good tenured people left it was the people

Cons

Culture. With a tougher market the game plan is KPIs and constant meetings multiple times a day about activity. No creativity. Poor pay. Salaries are below market rate as is the bonus scheme. Makes it very hard to get in to bonus. Lack of strategy. Discussing targets is not strategic. Constant buzz words/phrases. Everyone cringes at the sayings. The boss milks attention and abuses his position especially with female staff.

Lack of Accommodations for Disability

Pros

When I first started there was a lot of support from management and training to help get you to a starting point but that quickly went away. There are a lot of good people that work here but it’s a matter of getting on the right team but inevitably from higher ups you’re just a number and they make it known.

Cons

Robert Half has a “reasonable accommodations” policy that they can deem unreasonable depending on who is reviewing it… even if they’re reasonable and have been granted in previous work environments. There is just so much red tape with this and it’s really frustrating when you could be the highest performer in activity and growing hours but still get teared down, quite fired, and basically denied accommodations by management before you can request them. When I implemented the new metrics (because expectations were constantly changing) and showed drastic improvement it still wasn’t enough. For time off Robert Half gets out of granting employees sick leave by grouping PTO into it and calling it CTO… meaning if you catch the flu or something you’ll need to use your PTO and there isn’t extra time allotted to accommodate sick time. Lastly the company feels like a pyramid scheme meaning if one person leaves the team, the manager inherits all of the GM generated by that individual and can skyrocket to a top performer without actually putting in the effort so you need to get luck and hope someone leaves or work in another division that hasn’t been affected by the economy and ongoing layoffs.

Pros

Remote work is nice provides an extra screen

Cons

Upper Management plays favorites, they are sexist, when they aren't making money and are 20% down from last year they blame it on you but will pay p others with less experience more. They care less about promoting good ethics and loyalty among the staff and only care about the image they portray to the world. Rotten @ the core.
