Pros

You would get interviewed. You would get a finance/accounting job if you're desperate/inexperienced. Several locations. You could apply for jobs through their website.

Cons

You get treated like "inventory". The staffing managers do not care about your growth/success/well being, they only care about getting/securing their commissions, using intimidation at times. They take advantage of first-time/inexperienced job seekers who do not know all their in/out employment/civil rights. You'd not get the option to review their employment contract with an attorney before signing/engaging. You get paid a fraction of what they collect on you as a temp/temp-to-hire. They're not transparent about exactly what you'd be doing/what position you'd eventually get when working for their clients. Low pay. Lack of constructive training/orientation/mediocre testing. No returned e-mails/phone calls from staffing managers. Overall misleading/predatory/shady practices.

Pros

Robert Half gives more recruiting tools than you could ever use, RPS, LinkedIn, job postings, AI, Zoom Info, etc... They spend their money investing back into the company.

Cons

They don't give any stock options or even the ability to purchase stock at a discount. It's a publicly traded firm without a key benefit most associate with that.
