Pros

20% discount at Gaucho - can't think of anything else!

Cons

Once you're placed on a client site, you're left to fend for yourself. Don't expect any support from your account manager - it's very very money driven - if you don't hit direct recruitment targets then expect to have to explain why. You'll also be given no support to push back to the client and have to be at their beck and call all the time. Absolutely zero flexible working for the team, only the management. So much churn in the team - just as you get used to a team member, they're fired (usually with no warning given) and a replacement is appointed without meeting any of the team first. Never again, I'd not recommend working at RS to a single person

Robert Walters Response

Thank you for leaving a review. I agree that it's important to listen to our people, but I disagree with your comment that we don't support our people based on-site. While we may not have got everything right all of the time as we've grown so rapidly in recent years, we have invested heavily in providing the support that our people need. The full benefits of that investment might take time to embed, but we're committed to ensuring our people have the best support and the best performance review mechanism possible. However, I can't really comment on individual cases without knowing more of the detail, so if you'd be willing to reach out and email me at kirsty.adams@resourcesolutions.com we can start a confidential conversation that might help me explore some of your comments better. Many thanks, Kirsty Adams (Global HR Director - Resource Solutions)

Pros

The company does value work life balance however with the recent merger the team structure changed and the management team really needs to add structure to make it more cohesive however they only care about meeting numbers

Cons

Management does not care in performance of employees unless they are not meeting numbers
