Pros

- great work-life balance, not required to work overtime

Cons

-RH recruiters will talk down to you and try to correct you even though they are not finance/accounting experts. It's specially embarrassing when they do this in front of the client and the recruiter is wrong. - With decades of experience at a director and controller level, I was placed in an entry level position. RH fails at matching skillset with opportunities. I've reached out to several RH consultants and have heard several stories about mismatched placement. -Lack of professionalism in the RH office. When organizations ask me about which placement agency to use, I cannot recommend Robert Half even though I'd get a bonus for referral. I will recommend both CV Partners and Two Degrees. - Lots of paperwork for a placement company, more than others in the Seattle area. The staff at RH misplaced my electronic paperwork and I had to complete hours of paperwork again. -My user profile was setup incorrectly resulting in not being able to access timesheets, benefits, resources, etc.

Pros

Hybrid, Good benefits/PTO, offered “competitions” for gift cards, cares about employees

Cons

As a recruiting manager, I felt that the pay structure was interesting with the base pay being a “draw” - meaning that you base salary is essentially commission paid to you in advance. So if you have some slow months, it rolls over and works yourself into a hole. I think it would be a better structure if it reset every month.
