Robert Half: HR (TUPE) Administration
Administrator (Former Employee), Warrington – January 4, 2013
Pros: exceptional rate of pay
Cons: distance to and from work
During my time at Balfour Beatty, I was tasked mainly with creating databases with employee details, and ensuring all certificates etc were up to date and available.

Having never previously worked in HR before, this role offered a chance to build on my skill-set and knowledge of how HR systems work. It was also an opportunity to use and hone my organisational – more... skills in another area of employment.

My co-workers were also mainly temporary staff, with strong HR backgrounds who helped me expand my working knowledge as well as providing exceptional training.

The most difficult aspect of this role was the reason I was employed, which was that there were employees who would be made redundant in the near future if no role could be found for them under the new management.

As I enjoy a challenging environment, where I can build on my skills and knowledge, I found this period of employment particularly enjoyable as it was a constant learning curve for myself. – less

They are excellent at taking a huge part of your salary. They are not nice.
Editorial (Former Employee), Massachusetts – May 18, 2013
Cons: greedy beyond words
Creative Group found me one job. I worked the job for 10 months. It was fine. When I entered my hours, however, I could see that they were getting an almost 100 percent markup on my services. I got offered another job for more money, and I asked them for a very small raise. They said "no." My account manager/recruiter was actually quite nasty about – more... it, and I was making her a lot of money. I gave my two weeks notice. Then she got extra nasty. She came to my job sight in person and repeatedly called me by the wrong name while praising other people who worked for her. It was very junior high. She was obviously upset she had lost my gravy train, but it would have taken so little on her part to get me to stay. – less

fun, upbeat challenging place to work
Administrative Assistant (Former Employee), Salt Lake City, Ut – May 17, 2013
Pros: great people, great pay, everyone got along well, fun place to work
Cons: it was only a temporary position
I loved working at Robert Half! Great pay, great hours, and fun people to work with, all with positive attitudes. Everyone was very helpful too if I were to have any questions and they were great to work around time off or leaving early for children emergencies.

I enjoyed being employed. However, the last assignment I went to had procedures on sticky notes and unestiamated my abilities
Entry Level Medical Billing Clerk (Former Employee), Lady Lake, FL – May 16, 2013
Pros: working in a positive family environment. being employed so that i would be able to pay the bills.
Cons: some of the companies that i went to, were clueless in how to run an office. i have been working in an office environment since 1973, however, because i don't have a degree (the company's downfall) were too prideful to listen to me.
The company that I enjoyed the most when working with Robert Half was the Water Billing position at On Top of the World. I went from knowing nothing about water billing to processing over 500 water bills within a month with 95% accuracy.
A typical day would begin by reviewing what has to be accomplished that day. Next, sorting the mail and then processing – more... checks for deposit. Once that has been completed, review and prepare the water bills for billing.
Due to the amount of bills that we had to process, I created a post rate and pro rate worksheet to quickly and accurately calculate the amount to charge for the post and pro rate water bills.
The most enjoyable part of my job was the challenge of putting out the water bills with 95% accuracy and on time.
I was able to answer simple water billing questions that customers had, however, I did not work with the company long enough to answer and handle the more difficult questions.
I learned a lot working for Lake Medical Imaging and enjoyed working there. I had taken a class at CFCC in Medical Billing and Coding and had worked as a unity Secretary at MRMC through Kelly Services. The difficulty was that the co-workers were afraid of being replaced so they would not train me and the office had procedures on sticky notes. – less

Suitable
Human Resource Contractor (Current Employee), Los Angeles, CA – May 14, 2013
I am only writing a review because it is required, but if I had to say anything about Robert Half it is that for me, it was great for temp work, but horrible for permanent assignments.On any given day, I would be offered an assignment, and I would accept. More often than not, they were fun places to work with a fantastic group of employees and managers, – more... but usually they only need someone for short term assignments and nothing more. If you need a check coming in, that's OK, but not if you're looking for something long term. Over all, it was OK, but I wouldn't bet my life on getting anything through them alone. – less

As long as you meet your target, you are loved. But FAIL, and you are doomed no matter how well you have done in the past.
Executive - 2+ years (Former Employee), Oakbrook Terrace, IL – May 12, 2013
Pros: provided you are a productive earner, the compensation and accolades are quite attractive
Cons: management is unconcerned about you as an individual. the human element is absent in relationships.
Management's concern is devoted almost entirely to productivity with little concern for the employee. A long and productive tenure at RHI will not guarantee your survival if your numbers should fall, even if due to events beyond your control. In effect, your entire career at RHI can be summed up in your last three months' results.

However, this trait – more... is consistent with most all recruiting agencies. There is nothing unique in the manner in which RHI treats its employees or its job candidates. Basically, they are considered chattel - nothing more - to be discarded as/when deemed necessary. – less

Great entry level sales position
Retention Specialist (Former Employee), Memphis, TN – May 11, 2013
Pros: good sales training
Cons: long hours
If you are new to sales, this is a great environment to learn valuable skills. There are a lot of rules and it is not always the fairest system, but still a good learning ground. The hours are long and the environment does not allow for a lot of time off.

Interesting and rewarding atmosphere
Administrative Assistant (Current Employee), Orlando, FL – May 10, 2013
Pros: easygoing atmosphere & occasionally lunch provided as well as various items to eat in the break room
Cons: no lunch break
At my latest assignment, my day began with checking the phone for any messages that had come in after hours. Then there could be various projects for me to work on. There could be signed forms for me to scan in to a clients electronic file and update the file while doing so. There could be TL's that I needed to be updated in the electronic files. There – more... would be the phone to answer and forwarded to the appropriate person all during the day. There would be the daily mail to open, sort. Any checks and almost all information received had to be confirmed by email to the client. The electronic files also had to be updated with information received status. Some of this information needed to be scanned into file.
I learned a small amount of the process of filing non-resident tax returns. My co-workers were fine to work with and I enjoyed having continuous tasks. The hardest part of my job was wondering if it would become a permanent position or if it would end. – less

Varied work assignments, work on your schedule.
Compliance (Current Employee), Los Angeles – May 9, 2013
Pros: able to take (unpaid) time off when necessary, chance to work for a company before deciding to be their employee
Cons: lack of steady work, no paid benefits, somewhat incompetent office staff
Worked there as a consultant many years. Having come from an exempt salaried work model, it was a welcome change being paid for O.T. hours worked. People who work there primarily have a sales background and can be somewhat clueless about anything else (e.g. providing specific assignment info, administrative matters). Is an ideal place to work for someone – more... who can get their health benefits from their spouse or privately. – less

Abandoned me for no apparent reason
Administrative Support (Former Employee), Chicago, IL – May 9, 2013
Cons: they abandon you for no apparent reason.
I worked for OfficeTeam for a few assignments and then, suddenly, they stopped booking me and would not tell me anything other than I had no complaints against me.
