Pros

The only positive thing I walked away with was meeting amazing co workers who became friends.

Cons

First off, If you're looking to start a career in staffing be aware that competitors pay about $10K more per year for entry level recruiters. Their base salary is extremely low and their commission is low as well. In this workplace you are expected to sit at your desk at all times, avoid speaking to your co workers and be able to produce numbers in areas where you receive poor training. Poor training is due to the fact that there is high turnover and no leadership. Employees quit and get fired left and right. There is no HR department so if you would like to discuss anything you will do so with managers in the room together. Managers are family members so essentially if you displease one, you are on bad terms with all of them. There is so much mistrust between employees and management therefore I have seen and experienced a lot of drama! No matter the situation, they create drama. They have a common practice where they like to send employees "home for the day" and you will be demanded to write an email explaining why you want to work there. Their practices are unethical. Needless to say employees are treated like children where it's unacceptable to even take your lunch sometimes. Management's expectations are quite unrealistic where they set goals for the week, month or quarter but do not manage or train to accomplish such goals. At that point when they are displeased you are in for rude commentary and/or yelling from the owners. The most unfortunate experience here was seeing many good employees who are smart with great ideas, great work ethic and who are overall great people leave or fired because of the drama caused by management (family) and poor leadership. If you're looking for a career, this isn't the place to grow. The only positive thing I walked away with was meeting amazing co workers who became friends.

Pros

Find work for you fast and easy. Pay is decent if you have any qualifications.

Cons

You aren't told about a hidden contract with the company they employ you with that doesn't allow them to hire you on for a substantial amount of work hours. If you leave express you can't be hired on to a contracted company for a year.

Pros

If you are a non minority who is Christian and attractive I believe this would be an excellent place to work. The pay is great for a person who is fresh out of school looking to get her feet wet.

Cons

There are several things I did not like. The way they talk about temps is horrible. Temps are people too they deserve to be treated with respect. Although the training on the computer was fair. The in person training is completely lacking. It is not okay to when you are supposed to be training someone who has never done this type of work before to literally walk away laughing when they ask you a question. That was a demeaning experience. She literally on the first day would not answer any questions and laughed in my face. It made me feel dirty like I was less than a person. Futhermore just the way I was hired was confusing and unprofessional. What kind of company makes you interview for one job gives you another job that you have no experiece in, you tell them you have no experience and you actually though you were getting hired for the first job, they say no they like you we want you full time in the office and not as a temp. a day later rescends that to half time, pays you less than the other person they hired for the second job ( in the office), tries to get you to quit your side job(i was wary so I said no thank God!) then two weeks later fires you during training with no warning for not having experience. It was cruel and mean sprirted and it definitely not okay to treat people like that.
