Pros

I made some great friends but that was about it. Robert Half has a lot of money to spend on location of the office so you have a good pick of restaurants for lunch.

Cons

- Working at Robert Half was like being in an abusive relationship. - They count on humiliation, bullying and threatening you to make sure they keep a hold on you. - KPI's and pressure were so intense that my health declined. I stopped recovering from colds and ended up in the hospital once. - The KPI's are highest in the industry. They keep you from doing your job properly. - If you are a new consultant and make a mistake your manager will scream at you. - Someone was always crying in the office because of the pressure. - If you read the reviews below, the one talking about everyone having sex with everyone -- well, it's all true. - Your colleagues will backstab you and steal your clients and candidates. - People who have been there a long time have been brainwashed into thinking working at Robert Half is the centre of the universe. They all have tunnel vision. - You will work 12 hours a day and will start on an embarrassingly low salary. - Take my advice -- don't work at RH.

Do not work here

Pros

I honestly can't think of any.

Cons

Worst place to work. High call volume and no respect for human life. I was asked to remain on the phones and to continue cold-calling when the fire alarm was going off and the fire department was forcing us to evacuate the building. Don't work here.

Pros

Their office is pretty cool

Cons

They are masters of bait and switch when it comes to contract rates and length. GET EVERYTHING ON PAPER BEFORE ACCEPTING AN OFFER! Otherwise, you'll show up on your first day and they will ask you to sign your paperwork quickly, not realizing they changed your agreed upon rate! EVIL STUFF!
