Pros

Work from home environment :)

Cons

I have worked in RPOs for most of my career & I have to say that this was the worst & most stressful experience I have ever encountered. I worked for one of their biggest clients & it was a total $%$$ show. They had no idea what they were doing from the get-go along with the worst client relationship I have ever witnessed. I would be on calls & couldn't believe the language that was flying between the client & RS! I still have PTSD from working there. RS treated their employees like mud, overworked us, 12 hrs+ days, no support just fake promises to keep the carrot dangling. Didn't stand up for its employees or provide us with training or guidance. Just threw us into the shark-infested waters to watch the weak ones get eaten. It was an abusive relationship for everyone employed on that account. Even after offering me $10K to stay, I left for my sanity & I am so happy I did. When I do training I use them as a perfect example of "What not to do" all of the time!

Pros

Supportive manager. Collegial culture among the immediate team. Autonomy for setting one's own schedule and for coaching content and methods. Lots of mostly good supporting content. Monthly continuing education offerings. Peer-to-peer support and sharing via Google collaboration platform. The satisfaction of making a positive difference in client's (participant's) job search, i.e. fulfilling work.

Cons

1) Quality issues with the offshore job opportunity selection team and (less often) resume writers. As an outplacement coach we needed to stand behind the work of others that we didn't have close relationships with given the number of different team members on those teams and the business model. For two years the issues with offshore were raised to management but nothing improved--the bad quality was an accepted reality. 2) The business model is based on high-volume coaching that at times kept the coaching transactional and surface-level. Business success is based on minimizing coaching hours and resume writing hours per client. Can feel like a factory at times. 3) Chasing after disengaged clients. My guess is that a significant percentage of clients weren't fully bought into the coaching process because they weren't paying out of their own pocket rather their former employer was paying for service. But also had some super clients to work with that were very engaged. A mixed bag.
