Pros
(background: Hired as Resume Reviewer, until RR job recently ended for all and was replaced by Personal Branding Specialist role - both remote employee positions) 401K with 4% match + basic ACA compliant health insurance after 6 months for part timers Work from home with some flexibility. Pay rate is okay (not high) comparatively (however, again, there is more time required than is billable ) Co-workers across the company, (outside of management level) were generally helpful and kind.
Cons
My overall impression of LHH overall and the Learning Center department is that neither of them value their employees nor invest in them. Unpaid time is expected, too. First, expect a slow start – standard 1+ month from hire to actually begin. Consistently minimal training and zero professional development. Constructive criticism has also never seemed welcome. Management and IT staff are either overworked and/or very inefficient based on wait times and repeatedly forgotten meetings/follow ups and inefficiency/lack of attention to detail. SVP of Learning Center repeatedly said how she was known for “saving money”. How this shows up: to complete learning during any training you are basically required to spend extra, unpaid time. Same in the PBS role - the allowed billable time is not enough to complete all aspects of the job requirements. Another example: we were told we’d all become “certified professional resume writers” – a valuable, transferable credential. Instead, LHH provided very minimal in-house training for the new role, and a job title that means nothing. Constructive criticism has never seemed welcome, in fact, in my experience and observation, is actively shut down. A key example of how much (or rather, little) employees are valued/respected: no pay increase was offered any RR staff (announced in staff mtg) to take the new PBS role, which requires I’d say 50-75% more refined skill/experience, while taking away 50+% of the former scheduling flexibility. Insulting to say the least – spoke volumes about this company/department IMO. This was a big component of why I finally left, along with the unrealistic billable time allotted to do the new role (a role that can’t properly be done, or done well, in that amount of time, either, in my professional opinion - it's being oversold to corporate clients IMO….) PBS (all PT positions) are also expected to flex to FT as needed, which is just a way to keep from paying perhaps fewer staff FT benefits, IMO. What’s your tolerance for corporate BS? In many ways, I suppose much of this is "typical" - but to me, therefore, undesireable. Be prepared to be a “yes” wo/man if you want to grow in this role or with this company.
