Pros

Robert Half is an industry leader and has many tools and connections/affiliations that help the brand strength. Employees really can grow up the leadership ladder pretty quickly. I was lucky and experienced the promotions I sought in the time I was there.

Cons

There are many deserving employees who get passed over for leadership roles because they aren't as flashy as others. I wasn't one of those passed over, but I certainly noticed those who were. They are the work horses and it can be frustrating at times to see those who have questionable integrity and business smarts climbing the ladder ahead of others. In the end, I got tired of the party atmosphere, the micromanaging and the tendency for some managers to throw hard working employees under the bus to make themselves look good.

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.
