Pros

After your ramp-up/training period you can make a good amount of money with RHI. Most people are nice to work with as well. The training is very detailed and helpful for the business world in general. It just takes a very specific type of person to work here (someone who enjoys inside sales, works long hours, & doen't need privacy).

Cons

The downsides can really outweigh the good at this company. RHI micromanages more than any place I have seen or heard. You have absolutely no privacy with the way the workspaces are set up. This job is not for those interested in "outside sales," because you are in the office about 85% of the time, 15% at appointments......no home office or other setting of your own schedule. Word of advice: If you decide to work here, stay far away from the temp-staffing side and go for permanent placement staffing. Working with temps and temp placement is a nightmare! One other thing is other employees/managers with no life on the outside world make you feel guilty if you leave to go home at the end of the day before 6PM.

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.
