Robert Half reviews

The leadership in San Diego overseeing the region is a huge red flag. Bullying and manipulation are common. Favoritism to men over women runs rampant and the director leads by making people feel small and not by being an example of something to strive for. The director has never worked anywhere but Robert Half so does not have any other examples of corporate environments or work culture. The branch managers collectively feel this way but when going to HR nothing changes. Other branches have different experiences. The work itself is not the issue here, it is the leadership.

The place is falling apart. Run by individuals concerned about their egos. If you ever give feedback it is swept under the rug or it's your own fault. Rafts of tenured people are leaving, "don't blame us - it's COVID that ruined the culture" = the last lock down was almost 2 years ago. Inflexible old school management, good at running small branches but woefully out of their intellectual capacity in the flagship branch. Refusing to let managers run their respective teams, but instead micromanage every decision. Relentless meetings about nothing, wasting your time. No discretion as a manager, just constant wayward CEO speech rolling out their narrative. Full of 'yes men' - too afraid to give their own opinion, so fall in line instead. Relentless KPI monitoring that wastes so much time, you run out of time to help and coach. Culture is so bad Directors beg their managers to toe the line and conform in constant 'meeting room' chats, with the promise of getting larger teams and more responsibility.
