Basically since Covid19, I have had trouble finding decent work. The world is different and it's…read morehard to get seen. So I turned to temp agencies for help. I tried many but all of them were honestly worthless except for Spherion. Far and away the absolute best. Unlike others like Remedy Staffing or Employee Express or Beacon Hill who almost never talk to you, never follow up on anything, and have little to present, Spherion was on the ball from the word go! They responded the fastest and off the bat gave me four options to look at when the others only had one! I got a job pretty quickly. I wanted to write this review then, but I'm glad I waited. When that job fell through some time later, Spherion supported me and I was able to get another one in less than two weeks. I have been exceptionally impressed by their speed and humanity. I feel heard and helped. Even when having to deliver bad news, they did a phenomenal job, able to discern relevant points in response, and kept doing what was right for me! They are the best without a doubt. They are really active on your behalf and that meant the world.

I had only worked on short temporary assignment over a couple of years ago for Spherion and had not heard from them since, so when I got a call, it surprised me. They called to say that they felt I was unkind to Spherion staff and wanted me to apologize for that from two and a half years ago. They acknowledged that I did a satisfactory job with the one assignment they had provided. Why go to the trouble of getting an apology now after I hadn't heard from you in so long? If it really bothered Spherion they would have requested an apology ages ago.

It was kind of boring work, but the schedule was very flexible, and at the time, it was what I needed.

They also offer job training, called Construct-U, for women interested in breaking into the world of construction, carpentry, and the like. Pretty cool! What have they done for me? Well, they helped me take my ServSafe class, so that I could get my Food Manager's license. I learned a lot (even though I've worked in kitchens for years, there was even more to know!) and now my resume looks just a little bit more shiny. :) This org is a great resource for women seeking work or looking to improve their job skills and their appeal to employers. Women: check out their website or give them a call and see what they can do for you.

The QTI Group is a great employer if you are looking for a job and need to gain some professional…read moreexperience. I started out as a temp. I had a couple of different assignments over the 4 year period that I worked there. I got to gain a variety of experiences working at different companies and I had the flexibility of working as a temp while I was in school. When I was looking for a direct hire job QTI was the first place I checked. They were able to get me a direct hire position right out of college and I have been at the same company for almost 6 years. I think that as a temp employee you truly get a chance to try out a potential employer to see if the culture is something you want to be engaged with on a long term basis.

I spent the majority of my evening training her (you're welcome, Labor Ready! Rhonda is now a certified trained industrial kitchen dishwasher). I expressed my concerns to the local office and they were very nice and apologetic. They promised to send another worker the next day. Julian came, worked hard and was polite. Until his second shift. He is now over an hour late and guess what I've been doing?! Washing dishes! It's my favorite ever to wash dishes in an expensive blazer and heels, especially when I have a catering function to attend to...labor ready, how did you know that this was my favorite thing???

If there was a chance for negative stars, I'd leave that…read more Myself and my three roommates went in wanting to apply to Newell Brands (Rubbermade) factory. The interview went fine, we got the job, everything seemed well. Two of my roommates were all but strong-armed into taking a position there that they didn't want- they wouldn't stop pushing it until they accepted. We went to the orientation and the Lifestyle guy there was handing out out papers for when to come back and all that. Something on mine was wrong and when I asked him if it was just a mistake or if I needed to do something to have it fixed, he just said to call the number on the paper and tell them. He also said the same thing to anyone else who had a question, not bothering to help or answer anything. In the paperwork we filled out, it said that we would only pay $20 for equipment- they charged me $40 on my first check. Orientation was also for four hours and they barely paid for half of that. During the maybe one month that we were at the factory, any time we called out or had to leave early we would receive a voicemail from them "making sure we were coming int for our next shift." Every. Single. Time. They also called us and threatened to cut us down to minimum wage if we didn't show up for our next shift (they called on our day off.) They also called, shortly after the first threat, to threaten to fire us if we didn't come in for our next shift. We go in to pick up our checks and are told by the Lifestyle employee at the factory that we have to go to the actual location of the staffing agency to get our checks. We had never been told this before, even though he claims we should have known. And when we tried to mention starting a new job elsewhere he shut us down and just kept repeating that since we didn't work our two weeks notice we had to go to the agency or wait for it to be mailed. He didn't listen to us after hearing any mention of another job, no matter what we told him. We went straight to the agency from there, maybe a ten minute drive if that, and the man there told us that our checks would be in the mail around monday since our assignments had "been terminated already" and that our checks were already in the mail. This was not our last check by the way. He also kept changing his story when we'd ask him anything. And when we said that the reason one of us missed so much was because she kept getting sick and the factory would force us to take her home since they wont allow her to stay in the breakroom until the rest of us finished, and we carpool. He asked why we couldn't just drop her off and come back. We told him that we live an hour away and don't have gas money for that. His reply is, and I quote exactly, "Well that's because you never come into work!" I tell him that I have only missed 1 and a 1/2 shifts and he just gaped at me for a couple minutes before going back to talking to us like we were lazy and just never went to work and were stupid. He was extremely condescending the entire time and couldn't even keep his story straight during the not even 30 minutes we were there. When told about the threats he just ignored them and kept talking like we never said anything. He also claimed to have "called us constantly" even though we only had five missed calls from them between the four of us for the entire week. When asked if we had already been fired without being notified he said "Yes, theoretically." But our badges, the only way in or out of the building, worked fine just ten minutes earlier when we went for our checks. And since mine didn't work for a week because two numbers were mixed up, they wouldn't have worked if we'd been fired because they would have been deactivated. They expected us to go back to work and continue working until they decided to let us know what had happened. And on top of that, we were given 8 'credits', meaning we could miss 8 shifts, and we had been treated like trash long before we even got close to that. So they literally called twice on our day off to threaten us to come in the next night, refused to give us our checks, and said that we'd already been fired without even notifying us.
