Pros

They will take you off of the street with zero experience and "train" you to be a recruiter. I use the term train lightly because most the training you will receive will be OTJ. Some cool people in the offices. Commission splits are standard for the industry.

Cons

Randstad Professionals wants to be Robert Half so bad that it's not even funny. Most of the managers started their careers there and the metric system they use is almost identical. In fact, they just hired a new president that spent the last 20 years at RH. Back stabbing is rampant. Seems that management is convinced the best way to get ahead is to throw subordinates under the bus. Metrics are held in the same high regards as making placements.

Pros

My manager was super supportive, kind, and a great leader. Working from home allowed me next level flexibility and incentivized me to work harder. Always got shoutouts in meeting for good performance.

Cons

Pay is a little low to begin with and you don't get paid for holidays in your probationary period.
