Pros

Flexible schedule and 100% remote environment. You can go in office if there is one in your geo

Cons

I had an unfortunate experience with a job at LHH, which turned out to be extremely disappointing. The training process was excessively long, spanning months, and the success rate was abysmally low, with only a handful graduating from each hiring class. It felt like they hired with the intention to let go of the majority. The work environment was toxic, characterized by fear tactics. Trainers consistently threatened termination, creating a stressful atmosphere. Expressing any dissenting opinion or feedback that didn't align with their expectations was met with the risk of being fired. To make matters worse, the pay was inadequate, and the micromanagement was suffocating. Trainers exhibited unprofessional behavior, treating employees as if they were in elementary school. Overall, it was a regrettable experience that highlighted significant flaws in the company's approach to its workforce. They let go of a whole training class sometime in October. They literally hire in masses just to fire. It’s a marketing campaign and they will remind you that they will fire you everyday.

Pros

The team was one of the strongest aspects of the organization, with many supportive and hardworking colleagues. PTO and time-off benefits were competitive, including occasional early-release days and additional time-off opportunities throughout the year.

Cons

The company culture has significantly declined in recent years, leading to lower employee morale and engagement. Micromanagement became increasingly common, while transparency and trust diminished. Although remote work was heavily promoted, there has been a shift toward a hybrid/in-office model. Office conditions often created challenges, including recurring maintenance issues and an open floor plan that made it difficult to focus and conduct private conversations or meetings. Compensation has not remained competitive with market expectations, making it increasingly difficult for employees to achieve strong earnings. Comparable staffing firms in the industry often offer higher compensation while providing similar benefits and time-off programs. As a result, retaining experienced recruiters and top performers has become increasingly challenging. Work-life balance also suffered due to the pressure of meeting KPIs and performance metrics, often requiring work outside of normal business hours to remain competitive and meet expectations. Employee engagement initiatives and team-building activities that once contributed to a positive environment have largely disappeared. There has also been noticeable turnover among tenured employees and top performers, raising concerns about retention and overall organizational direction.
