I should have composed a review late November when I was let go or December 2024…read more Elite Personnel VP contact NHG and manager EH contacted me about a Contract Travel Accounting position for a large union International Brotherhood Teamsters IBT near the Capitol downtown DC. It was a temp to hire staffing assignment and looking to start Monday August 12. Interestingly, I just relocated from NYC July 31, 2024. I had to work 500 hours to become permanent. I already interviewed three other staffing recruiters and a Silver Spring MD direct hire HR employee which they were stalling with pending next steps in the interview process so I prioritized my time and took IBT staffing agency to survive. Although the pay rate was $29 hour and it was non-negotiable per NHG so I had no choice. She "lowballed" me since my salary was $65,000 from my previous NYC local employment for nearly seven years. My duties include verifying and auditing employee travel expense reports and applying LM2 schedule for accurate coding using SAP Concur software and processing travel-related vouchers on Microsoft Dynamics XL formerly Solomon Edwards software. I was grateful to learn two new software SAP Concur and Microsoft Dynamics. I loved data entry processing travel related vouchers since it keeps me busier than verifying expense reports which caused me to doze off occasionally. Travel Accounting manager TB I thought I worked well with signed my weekly timesheets mostly. This racist Travel Accounting supervisor JF was and is arrogant and indifferent toward temp employee as a Black male and normally out of the office a lot leaving less work for me to do. JF and I were not on the best terms. The other four other Travel Accounting employees trained me a certain way to verify and audit expense reports. I explained to him during two performance evaluations September 17 and November 1 for the reason for my swift delivery and attempted to avoid careless errors and I acknowledged my breakdown to him and to TB. JF applauded my data entry and admin related work with limited and no errors. I expressed oftentimes sitting at my desk unproductive and idle for a long time whether I am working slow or fast. He and TB admitted about some down times which expense reports aren't coming regularly. Staffing agency RHI sent a black woman temp to handle back logs for both Vietnamese permanent employees out of the office in late October. She and I share the same birthday, and she has extensive accounting background including travel accounting experience from a large NW DC university. JF asked me to train her on processing travel expense vouchers and she acted pompous and kept interrupting me in the process. She asked some of the questions repeatedly and cosplaying from making careless mistakes and she did tasks her. She implied JF and another white female temp employee explained the best way opposed to mine so I just ceased training her and talking to her. Their ice was and always colder than mine. I refused to work in a spiritual and gender warfare toxic environment feeling disrespected by her and the co-workers. I am beginning to feel uneasy working with the temp and how she tried to undermine and sabotage me along with JF especially with my 500 staffing assignments are set to expire November 25. I addressed my concerns to TB. Finally, NHG called to inform me Wednesday November 27 to confirm my last day since the Accounting Manager TB and/or JF informed her I was "frustrated" with the lack of consistent and regular work and my refusal to accept permanent offer since they pay once a month according to TB and other employees. Also, I refused to work in a toxic environment feeling disrespected by HR, cafeteria staff, "raccoons" security, and many union employees.

5 Stars all around!! Many thanks to Nicole and Patrick for their help along the way. I've used…read moreElite Personnel twice... once after graduating undergrad and again last year when I was looking to get back into the workforce and both times have been a blessing. Straight out of undergrad, they were able to place me on a temporary assignment that lasted for about 2 months, and then when that ended, I was placed in a more long-term admin front office role. When nothing else worked to put my degree to use, I could count on Elite to get placed somewhere, and luckily for me, they seem to have great connections all throughout the DMV so I didn't have to wait too long before I would hear back with a potential opportunity. If you're still in the search for a new temp agency, I definitely recommend Elite be your next (and last) stop ;)

I was working with a female recruiter named Naomi. she rarely answers calls or emails or texts, sometimes she'll answer after 3or more days if at all. She completely lied to a job I interviewed for, she told them I wasn't interested!! And they were ready to hire me. She told me they were dragging their feet and weren't sure about creating this position. Then after 2months of nothing, She "found" another job same company different shift. Told me it was M-F. Then the night before my first day, she tells me it's m-f with alternating weekend!! Then when I show up for my first day, find out it's actually 6 days and then 4 days!!! The pay rate is crap. Especially when it was supposed to be a supervisory position. She tells me one thing, the company told me something completely different. Be warned I am not the only one. These recruiters are unorganized, can't get their facts straight, don't bother communicating, and don't seem to care if they screw up your life. Stay away from these people. 10 years ago they were good, but as of 2026 they are absolutely horrible!!

I did two interviews and a written test before she ghosted me. I emailed her multiple times. I can understand if the company didn't want to move forward but this was unacceptable from Sarah. I won't be working with Cella again again I don't recommend anyone to. Get the job directly through a company, or at the very least, not through Cella. You'll just get ghosted by Sarah even though she reached out to you first.

This is not my first time working with a staffing agency but based on my experience with the Boss…read moregroup I will not work with another agency again. Prior to accepting my offer I explicitly asked about healthcare, holiday pay, PTO benefits. My recruiter said all these things were offered. Fast forward 4 months later and I have learned the following: the healthcare plan is not employer sponsored you have to pay at minimum $400 a week for a family to have healthcare that's more than what's offered in the marketplace. Holiday pay is only available after you've worked 1,500 hours. And PTO is no existent. I feel like their was a bait and switch done. And when asked about the details not being fully disclosed. My recruiter simply states that there is one person in the office who has all the details related to benefits. As stated this is the third time that I've worked with an agency and this experience is by far the worst experience I've had.

Wonderful service and great resume tips! After I missed an event hosted by YES at their office, 6…read moremonths later Michael kindly reached out to me with a warm and sincere email amid Covid and offered a free resume consultation. My 30 min consultation with Katherine was really helpful! I learned formatting tips and ways to beef up my resume by adding a header, summary, and core competencies and creating sectional dividers. She recommended outcome-based bullet points that highlight the benefits and quantify the results rather than a laundry list of tasks. Katherine was friendly and thorough and even had enough time to quickly proofread my hubby's resume. It was really nice to get an extra set of eyes! While the $299 starter package seems a bit pricey, it's a good deal considering that you are equipped with the A team of an interviewer, drafter, and editor. They will rewrite your resume and can fine tune and belt out those bullet points. While my resume could use a few tweaks, the starter package is a great option if you're looking for a resume overhaul without doing all the guess work. I found the resume consultation surprisingly useful. Would highly recommend it and consider the packages!

I knew I was moving soon so I wanted to get everything done as quickly as possible so I could start work asap. I took a long series of test and scored really well. With experience in Property management as well as a paralegal I as assured they had plenty of opportunities for me. I submitted my resume before had and solidified an interview for the day after I arrived to DC. Needless to say, and very long story short, I was called twice a week with different positions and they never landed me a position not even once. I was working 2 days after I arrived with another agency in a law firm, so my resume was not an issue. They called me about positions every week for almost two months and I finally just told them I didn't want them to call me any more. For them to be a staffing agency, they are really not good at what they do at all. You can't be a staffing agency and never land anyone not even a part time position. Don't waste your time on all their test and lengthy interview processes, you're wasting your time!
