I have been through my fair share of temp agencies, and I can honestly say that this has been the…read moremost helpful one yet! They actually take the time to contact you if you seem like a good fit, if they find work you may like, and even if there are some concerns. They're just easy to talk to and to work with. After you go through the initial song and dance to see if you are a good candidate for employment, it's all down-hill gravy from there... or maybe it's just gravy. The staff is super friendly and understanding. And the best part is that they helped me find several temporary jobs that I liked and would never have found on my own. Then they did something awesome - after a while of me taking a break and working outside of their employment basis, they managed to find me my very first "foot-in -the-door" job INSIDE my field that I went to college for! They don't normally have creative type of work to dole out, but they pin-pointed one just for me! That job was the best place I ever worked for, and I'm happy to say I'm still working in my field. So, if it weren't for Express, I probably would be working retail, or something else outside my field now. I completely owe my start in my field to this company!

Best employment agency. Found me an assignment fast, prepped me for the interview, negotiated an…read moreexcellent rate, placed me at an A+ company. So personable and friendly. A small boutique agency that really toes the extra mile. Sue was so nice to work with, she really kept me in the loop every step of the way. I met her in person at the office. The process was easy. I love that they use ADP and I can electronically put in my hours from home or at work. I'm not sure of the prior experience of a prior disgruntled employeewith her issues with pay but my experience is you get your hours in by the deadline, you get paid on time. If you don't, you have to wait until the next pay period. I've never had any issues with my pay from them but I always report on time and they send a nice reminder out to you as well! The only negative is that they don't offer benefits for a temp assignment but I was converted quickly to a perm employee so I have benefits via the company.

Elizabeth Lanaghan, is an absolute disgrace of a recruiter. I can't even begin to describe how…read moreshockingly unprofessional and rude she was. She was dismissive, condescending, and clearly has no idea how to actually do her job. For someone who supposedly prides herself on being a "top recruiter" who cares about people, she certainly has a funny way of showing it. She was completely clueless about my background and made zero effort to understand my experience. When I used my resume and even demonstrated with ChatGPT how I was perfectly aligned for the role, she became downright nasty and hostile. Her arrogance and incompetence are astonishing.

Yeah, have to agree with everything Jenna said…read more This place sucks and only wants numbers for their main client, CEC. I was literally rushed into this place and I was OK with it at the time because I wanted to leave my warehouse job. Basically I got an email from Matt stating that he had a job opportunity for me--I didn't even apply to CEC's job, but to another one through Staffing Now--and that he wanted to speak with me. I called him back after I read the email again and he wanted me to come in right away because the company wanted to see me right away. Apparently they were having a training session in less than two weeks. I had an interview on Monday and then he sent me to Colorado Tech in Hoffman Estates. Since the training would be starting the next Monday, Matt got back to me the next day saying I got the job. I obviously quit my job because this would pay more and gave my job a three days notice. I started training that following Monday and that would take two weeks. I will say that I absolutely loved my trainers, but I am pretty sure they are jaded by CEC. And I loved a lot of the people in my training class, but around the end of training something just didn't seem right. On the last day all of the truths came out. First, our schedules would constantly be changing every six months and we wouldn't have much say because we were on the bottom of the totem poll. Second, the job is completely sales--we need to push people no matter what "cause these people want to go to school." And the last thing that JUST KILLED ME--they had 3 more trainings set up right after our class. So I would've been able to give my job a two-weeks notice and be able to research the company more. But no, Matt completely lied to me just to get me in the door. And when you are hired, they try to change everything on you because now they can--they have got you locked in because you have either quit your job or you feel like you can't get a job anywhere else. When I quit I had to call three people--Matt, my recruiter; Marissa, my Staffing Now On-Site Manager; and Karen, my Direct Supervisor. I figured someone would call me back with questions or whatever. Nope, not one single call. They don't care about you--they just want $$.

Hmmm, where to begin. I've noticed that other reviews of the other Staffing Now locations (in the…read moreloop, Cumberland, Buffalo Grove) are very, very similar to mine. I am not happy with my experience and I would not recommend anyone ever use this agency. First of all, what they don't tell you, is they only staff for Career Education Corporation (or at least that's all it seems they do - I've never heard of anyone getting another job from them that isn't with CEC). The Staffing Now office is professional enough - it kind of looks like any other agency I've visited. However, I noticed right off the bat that the recruiters were highly unprofessional and didn't seem to really care about any client's qualifications. I found out later that Staffing Now doesn't really do any analysis of their clients - they send almost everybody to interview at CEC schools for jobs. Here's where the experience turned terrible: Staffing Now lies to you to get you in to CEC interviews. I mean actual, literal lies. If Staffing Now told you that a job with CEC would be a mind-numbing, soul stealing sales job, you would never take it. So they tell you every lie possible to make sure you think the positions with the universities (especially Admissions Advisor) are NOT at all sales related. LIES. I was pretty desperate for a job, so I interviewed with American InterContinental University Online anyway. I really had no choice and the pay was pretty good. Well, it turns out the pay is nice because people hate themselves when they start doing this job. To be perfectly honest, I hated the AIU Admissions Advisor job so much I quit before training was over. I could not handle guilting gullible idiots into a shitty, $50,000 education that they don't need from a shitty, no-name online university. The nightmare with Staffing Now continued once I got to the site at Cumberland. The staffing now HR representative who worked at that site full time was a total rude jerk. She clearly hated her job so she took it out on every one of the new hires on a daily basis. She wouldn't talk to anyone and pretended like anything that we needed to talk to her about was unimportant and irritating for her. However, the way Staffing Now's contract works with AIU is the Staffing Now HR rep is in charge of us while we're on site for the first 90 days. So our problems are your problems, idiot. She refused to do her job and she was just as unprofessional as the people who worked at the office in Schaumburg. I'm not really surprised since it seems like this place only hires unprofessional people. This staffing agency seems like a giant scam that I wouldn't want to have anything to do with if I were you. They only do staffing for CEC schools (primarily AIU) and the turnover at this job is so high no one ever really cares about what you're doing. Staffing Now extends no help to its clients when they need something on site and they just figure you'll quit if you don't like it and they'll replace you with someone else. I get that staffing agencies can't do everything, but if they're going to be the ones paying us to do their work, they need to extend a bit more customer service to help us when we need it. Staffing Now was the epitome of unprofessionalism - I have never worked with such a terrible organization and I never, ever will again in the future.
