Pros

- sometimes there are parties & some of the coworkers you meet are genuine (even though everyone I've met is miserable and wants to leave) - could have potential to be a half decent staffing firm if management got their act together - you'll be working with cool clients

Cons

MOST OF THE REVIEWS ON THIS SITE ARE WRITTEN BY CONTRACTORS WHO HAVE BEEN PLACED BY RTA, NOT BY ACTUAL RUSSELL TOBIN EMPLOYEES I worked at RTA a little under a year in San Francsico and i wouldn't recommend it to anyone - people are promoted to management based off of popularity, not merit - SF office is very un friendly and un welcoming - culture discourages asking questions, you are not allowed to ask questions to your manager outside of the allotted 45 minute zoom meeting held a few times per week. if you ask them questions outside of this time you will be "bothering them" and need to save any question you have until then - as a whole they bite off more than they can chew, saying yes to clients who are demanding aggressive goals that are unrealistic, thus putting an insane amount of pressure on their employees - very little (if any) training - management creates a hostile work environment for any employee who isn't in their inner circle - genuinely would feel depressed on sunday night knowing that I had to go to work again on monday morning.
