Pros

Robert Half is and industry leader when it comes to staffing companies. They have a great reputation and anyone given an opportunity to work internal is considered lucky.

Cons

I first got offered a recruiting/staffing manager position with Robert Half in 2010. They told me they never hire anyone internal on a permanent basis and that everyone is contracted when they first start. Wanting to get out of my current job I accepted their offer. Shortly after I started I realized the "contract" info they told me was total BS. The other full-time permanent employees treated me like crap and would even make remarks of how little I was paid and how I do the work and they receive the bonus for it. There were also several times that I recruited someone and they would interview them for a permanent recruiting role. I ALWAYS made the goals I was given, came in early, left late, I did whatever they wanted me to. Needless to say after 7 months another individual got hired on in a permanent recruiting role and I was given a weeks notice that they no longer needed me due to the business slowing down. This came as a total shock to me because my division director always gave me praises and I received two raises my short time with them. I felt used and underappreciated. The funny part is a few months after I left the division director called me to ask if I would me interested in working for them again. UH NO! Why would I? I was told lies and used the entire time I was there. That is not the right way to conduct a business. I was left unemployed for months due to their inconsideration. I will never do business with them again.

Great in finding contracts for contract workers. They got me a remote job that allowed me to work from my home in the Midwest for a job in California.

Cons

Can be hard to reach at times.

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
