Pros

There is a lot of flexibility as a contractor, so you can take or decline work as the assignments become available. The work is very fulfilling, because you are really helping give people tools and direction when they're in one of the most difficult times of life--career transition. The few full time LHH staffers are very kind and willing to share information. Genuinely good people. There are often opportunities to learn and grow and take on new areas of expertise.

Cons

The salary for consultants has been stagnant for years, and is well below what training and development consultants make in other areas. There is also no guarantee of work, so not a good place if you are needing full time employment.

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.
