If being unemployed for months on end isn't bad enough... doesn't make you feel as small and…read moreinsignificant as a gnat (yes, the same gnat that the employed are shooing away or smashing with a napkin covered hand), go to Officeteam and you'll be there. As my savings is now pretty well non-existent, I am applying for things that pay just about as well as jobs I had in high school (without a high school diploma or college degree, mind you). I won't embarrass myself by going into the hourly rates I've received in the last several years. Getting back on track, here... I applied for a position, which I was under the impression was an "in-house" recruiting position. I got a call from Officeteam (Caroline) the next day asking me to come in for a generalized interview. I mentioned that the position I had applied for was an internal one. She seemed confused, and said that she couldn't *see* what I had actually applied for, but that she wanted me to come in to interview & test for temporary positions that might open up in the future. I agreed to go in, and asked if I'd be meeting with her. She said that they all work together, and that I'd be meeting with Dana. I arrived for my scheduled "appointment", bearing a freshly printed resume, copies of two letters of recommendation, a page featuring four references, and a "candidate testimonial form" which Officeteam requested that I fill out. I was sent to a conference room to fill out an application, I-9 and W-2 forms, and sign paperwork authorizing a drug test and background check. After completing the lengthy packet of information, I returned it to the very pleasant and friendly receptionist. She told me that Dana would be in to meet with me right away. I went back to the office, and at least 10 minutes later, I was joined by Dana. I will just say that it was not a pleasant experience. I was quizzed about my background and experience, but not in a way that made me feel confident about myself or the placement services. She didn't appear to be listening at all. I kept thinking that it was a waste of my time to be there. She told me in no uncertain terms, that I would be unable to see more than $11 - $12 an hour (which, as crappy as it is, is more than I made at the last 2 of 3 jobs I've held). She acted as if I was not good enough to be in the office, and like I was a high school drop-out with no discernible skills. I felt like I was on trial... and for a crime that I didn't commit. The interview-turned-interrogation was finally over, and I was sent to complete an endless barrage of tests that I don't actually believe show a person's actual skill level. It was frustrating and I stopped counting the number of times that I considered leaving at 12. After the testing, Dana again (lucky me) met with me to go over my results. She gave me my score percentage, and some random-seeming long numbers of others versus mine (what the numbers represented or meant, she didn't explain), and basically told me that I sucked at a few of the tests, was on-par with a few and was better-than-average with a couple. I left this Olive Road office feeling worse than I had before. Just a clue to all of those who have not experienced unemployment, being fired or laid-off, none of us need any help feeling like losers. So, this wasn't a good experience, but I think that I have to follow-up with them. A shitty job is better than nothing, I guess. I'm just not sure that they'll even attempt anything on my behalf.

I thank them for being…read morea bridge that brought me over safely after a major surgery, moving to a new area of the country, and career transitioning. My best experience with Office Team was a temp performing data entry for a manufacturer in a beautiful setting with a big window overlooking a scenic area in my own office. My worse experience with Office Team was when the owner's son-in-law returned from military duty and began to make attacks on me. At first I did not know why he kept attacking me but now I suspect post-traumatic- stress syndrome. Later the St. Louis area racism brewed out of control and was aired on national TV. How can you be a great temp for months then suddenly the son-in-law shows up and nothing you do is right? I will never know why he verbally attacked me, but I have some educated guesses. I chose to decline that permanent offer of full-time employment and found full-time work on my own. I was thankful for the opportunity to earn a weekly wage until I could find full-time work which was about 6 months almost full-time as a temp then a 3 month gap of part time temp work before finding full time employment with okay benefits. Mallory F. and Laine W gave reviews consistent with my OfficeTeam experience in Austin, Texas where I was never given an assignment or offered any type of skills training.

Once I briefly talked with Lori about my past work history and what I was looking for, she immediately wanted to bring me in for a face-to-face to meet with the rest of the staff and kind of go on a more in depth look at my resume and my skills. They were very accommodating with working around my schedule and once I did go in everyone was SO nice. The conversation flowed nicely and they seemed very helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for help in the administrative field.

If you're looking for a CPA who is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about…read moreyour financial well-being, look no further! I had an amazing experience working with this firm. From the very first consultation, they were friendly, patient, and extremely thorough in answering all my questions--no matter how big or small. They took the time to review my situation in detail and found deductions and opportunities I never would have spotted on my own. What really impressed me was their clear communication and the way they broke down complex tax topics into easy-to-understand terms. I never felt rushed, and they always made sure I understood every step of the process. Turnaround time was fast, pricing was fair, and the level of professionalism was outstanding. It's rare these days to find someone who delivers both top-tier expertise and exceptional customer service, but they absolutely do. Whether you're a small business owner, an independent contractor, or just someone who wants their taxes done right, I cannot recommend this CPA highly enough. Five stars all the way!

Unethical, rude, disrespectful, insulting, and unprofessional CPA. Has treated me and others with…read moreutmost disrespect and incompetency. Wasn't transparent about pricing and charged much more than quoted. I told her we would be parting ways after tax season, as my S-corp return and personal have not even been started on yet (S-corp due March 15, they filed extension March 14 but didn't give me any updates, today is April 5) about which I was not notified, and she had the gall to fire me as a client 10 days before individual taxes are due because I set boundaries with her. Her emails included insults and personal attacks, and her office did not return everything to me that I sent them. Cites reason for the incompetence is that an accountant left her firm. Perhaps if she weren't so ugly to clients and employees, people would stay. Here are some comments she made to me just today via email (not counting previous encounters): When I asked why they didn't call about discovering my returns haven't been worked on: "I am not curt. I am still confident, and that's why we are working our tails away instead of crying over it on the phone." "Can you please stop panicking for no reason?" When I questioned the hike in pricing and lack of transparency about it (important to note I told her when I hired her that I am new to being a business owner and need some guidance, which she agreed to provide): "I am also certain you realize it took time to answer all your questions in person or over the phone. I understand that you came with very little knowledge of how the S-corps work, but it is not my place to educate for free." This is just a sampling, and there were were pleasant interactions as well. However, there is an overall air of superiority in her communications. Mila seems unable to take accountability for her choices, and deflects them onto her clients when there are negative consequences. For example, I am aware of a former client who fired her as a CPA due to her behavior. When I brought this to her attention, she advised that she fired the client, who is no longer welcome back. I'm aware of more another individual who plans to fire her because of their experiences with how rude she is. She may be good at math, but she is terrible with people.

She had confidently told me she could complete my project within 7 days, but it ended up taking her over a month. I understand life happens, but she never communicated throughout the process that there would be delays. It took me persistently emailing her first to finally receive a rough draft of my resume and cover letter. After confirming all the information was correct, I never received an email with the finalized proofread copies. I had to take it upon myself to proofread and edit everything. When I communicated my concerns and dissatisfaction with service, she offered no solution or partial refund and has never followed up with me since. I still feel sick paying the $500 for pretty mush nothing. Lesson learned.
