Pros

I'm sure there are plenty of competent temp agencies out there. This isn't one of them.

Cons

The last assignment I had through this agency was having financial difficulties (phones were cut off, evicted from the office, inconsistent payroll, etc.), so I reached out to my third contact Charles Hayden. The other two women I had been working with prior had both quit within weeks of each other. I asked to be moved to another assignment as the current one seemed to be in a death spiral. I went from being told to just hold on a little longer & he would find something to being ignored outright. Sure enough, the business folded (I inexplicably received a copy of the bankruptcy paperwork) & I filed for unemployment. LHH tried to block my unemployment by telling the agency that I had stolen my own identity & was trying to file a fraudulent claim. Fortunately, that bankruptcy paperwork came in handy. Nice try, schmucks.

Pros

The team was one of the strongest aspects of the organization, with many supportive and hardworking colleagues. PTO and time-off benefits were competitive, including occasional early-release days and additional time-off opportunities throughout the year.

Cons

The company culture has significantly declined in recent years, leading to lower employee morale and engagement. Micromanagement became increasingly common, while transparency and trust diminished. Although remote work was heavily promoted, there has been a shift toward a hybrid/in-office model. Office conditions often created challenges, including recurring maintenance issues and an open floor plan that made it difficult to focus and conduct private conversations or meetings. Compensation has not remained competitive with market expectations, making it increasingly difficult for employees to achieve strong earnings. Comparable staffing firms in the industry often offer higher compensation while providing similar benefits and time-off programs. As a result, retaining experienced recruiters and top performers has become increasingly challenging. Work-life balance also suffered due to the pressure of meeting KPIs and performance metrics, often requiring work outside of normal business hours to remain competitive and meet expectations. Employee engagement initiatives and team-building activities that once contributed to a positive environment have largely disappeared. There has also been noticeable turnover among tenured employees and top performers, raising concerns about retention and overall organizational direction.
