Pros

The best reason to work here is if you are looking for an entry level position (they are always hiring) or are passionate about HR, it gives you an opportunity to learn about local businesses. Take the information you learn on processes, business culture to a much better job!

Cons

They cannot hold onto an employee for more than 6 months. 10 hour workdays. 8am meetings every day in every office. If you come in at 8:01, one of your 5 managers that sit in the call center next you will let you know about. Technical hours are 8-5:30, but most employees work 7-6pm. No work/life balance. The cubes are 3.5 feet wide. All emails are read, they check for keywords including names of managers. They expect "25 connects" daily entered into their database, MicroJ. A connect is call with someone, you may have to make 10 cold calls to get 1 connect. If you are not entry level do not work here. Be weary of reviews from (Division Directors, Regional Directors or from Menlo Park, that is their headquarters). A website like this spells disaster for a company like Robert Half. The commission structure ddoes not reward you until you work there for a full year.

Pros

Not much to say here, unfortunately.

Cons

In the technology practice, the unwillingness to adapt to a rapidly changing market can no longer be ignored. Too many decisions continue to be justified by the mindset of "this is the way we've always done things," even when those approaches are becoming less effective or counter-productive. While competitors evolve their business models, recruiting strategies, and client engagement practices, continues to be reluctant to challenge long-standing processes and assumptions. The impact of this resistance to change is becoming increasingly visible in the market. Clients and candidates have more options than ever before, and perceptions of the organization are being shaped by experiences that no longer align with current expectations. Without a willingness to listen to feedback and embrace new approaches, there is a real risk of causing lasting damage to the company's reputation, employee retention, and long-term competitiveness.
