1 star for cleanliness. The staff are extremely…read morecondescending and down right rude. Think they all took a page from Wednesday Adams' gloom stare. I get it, the staff deals with a regular community that may need extra guidance and patience, which gets repetitive, but there is absolutely no excuse for the patronizing tone and ice cold atmosphere. If you can't deal with the extra guidance and patience then GET ANOTHER JOB, I'll take your job. I was recommended to look into this by someone and when I jumped on their website site Wednesday evening, I saw they had a "Transitional employment opportunities", which is what I am looking for. They had orientation on Thursday morning, so I went. A few minutes into it, I learned that the "Transitional employment opportunities" were for "very rare cases" and they required a lot of steps before they would even consider if you would fall into that very rare case. I have all the other tools already. And they make no exceptions on skipping any steps. I asked for my sign-up sheet back and instead of maybe asking why, I was no longer interested, I saw up the nose of the staff. Without a "Sorry"..."Wish you the best" or even a "Bye" Again, extremely rude staff. So on top of the extremely rude staff, if you already have a resume and were just looking for help with transitional employment opportunities - I recommended staying clear of here, not worth your time. If you go, orientation is a good couple of hours. And they take your picture. So plan ahead.

What can't I say about Marilyn Taylor Medical Personnel. I found them on google about 17 years ago…read more I had been out of medical assistant school for about 2 months and wanted to get a job. I met Marilyn , Cristina and I was on board. About 3 weeks later I got a job with Healthcare Partners so didn't need a temp assignment but I always kept them close. Fast forward 1year, I was looking for a job again. I called them up and I was working in 3 days. My first assignment with them was for a 3 month contract so as long as I did great I could possibly get hired on permanently. I didn't get that one but I have gotten other positions. MANY!! The least amount of time I did was part time for this doctors office in beverly hills .. 3 days a week but weekly pay. I was a mom, struggling. This really got me through the rough times. Fast forward 10 years after that I was pregnant with my now 15 year old son. They sent me to Allergy Medical Clinic. I was 6 months pregnant. They hired me on permanently. I worked there for years before unfortunately I was laid off. After 4 years tho. Great office, great staff. I made friends not just co workers here. Benefits were top tier. So giving a agency a chance to help you get your foot in the door, you can't beat that. The staff is great. Cristina is Amazing. You gotta do your part and they will do theirs. You will get to work. So pick that head up, throw on the charm and get to working. I will always REFER MARILYN TAYLOR MEDICAL PERSONNEL!!! Always! And you will too. Be safe

Amazing team. They will go above and beyond. Cristina and Erin. Best duo. Thank you both!!!read more

Valet parking is free if you're there for a screening, they actually can get 5 stars just for that, the valets represent the company very well, they greet you with a smile, they look happy to be there and they're ready to work, and they can answer questions if you don't know where to go, a lot of staff, who are eager, enthusiastic and professional. I love that! The woman signing me in greeted me with a professional, yet warm smile, overall, makes me feel happy to be there, building well designed, might be intimidating to get lost in there because it' s huge, but there are staff everywhere to help you. Overall 5 stars, I didn't eat the food at the reception, but I should have, I went by myself so I left, but they had wine and the food smelled amazing, overall great experience, everything a 5 star agency should be! Film was fantastic but that's not what this review is about.

I have had the most positive experience with Shauna. She is attentive, friendly, understanding and…read moreduring the whole process I've felt that she was "on my side" and I felt comfortable asking for her advice. We had a short first phone interview and then she brought me in their office on Wilshire. She spent about half an hour talking to me in a manner that didn't feel like interview, but more like a friendly chat. At the same time, I could feel that she was actually getting all necessary information from me. Later on she always took time to give me call and follow up after different stages of my interviewing process with the company. It was a truly great experience and I highly recommend Shauna as a respectful and knowledgeable professional you can trust.

Review for Santa Monica Office:…read more First Call Staffing is seriously the most personable when it comes to staffing agencies. I applied to a position through Marcia and have been working with Candice. She's as nice as it gets. Other staffing agencies make me a feel like I'm one of the many they have to deal with and can't be bothered to return calls or emails. Not F.C.S. Since the beginning Candice has been available to call or email to describe the position and its requirements. I went in to meet Candice, filled out paperwork and had a lovely chat with her about a specific position. It wasn't like an interview, was super casual and relaxed (she called it a "dressed up conversation"). She has made me feel confident about the position and I couldn't be more grateful for her help, guidance, and feedback.

I was trying to use the computer there because I saw a person who is searching a job online with their system. Micah told me they are closing and I need to leave. Their office hour was 4pm and they need 30 minutes to close the office. That does not make sense. I do not think they service everyone in the same way. I even came back to my car and literally saw someone walking in to the door and I waited to if he also comes out with the same answer. However, the person was not coming out of the door, the time was 3:40pm when I left the office. I guess the workers need 30 minutes to close the office.

Terrible experience with this company... far beyond just an after being unhappy with an agent…read more This was undoubtedly the most costly experience to date in a 20 year career. Both out of pocket cash + opportunity cost. I reached out on multiple instances to try and resolve this, but the requests were ignored. They are super nice! The office isn't fancy by any stretch of the imagination, and yes, it's dog friendly... but for me personally, signing with Sovereign was Just simply the worst business decision I've made. I won't elaborate on details here, because there are some legalities to consider. This is really a case of knowing EXACTLY what you want out of an agent, and then ask yourself this is the place to get it.

I go out on auditions more than ever and they listen to my Feedback/personal preference on projects. I never feel forced or coerced into doing something I do not want to do or feel comfortable with. Whenever I have had a concern about a project they have been there to assist day or night. You can't top the experience and professionalism of this agency. Being in this business for many years now I can honestly say I've never quite had an agent who looks out for my best interests like Peter and the Sovereign team. If you want to be given the opportunity to shine and show what you can do this is the agency for you. 100% recommend.

When I reached out again, they revealed they had already removed me from their roster. I understand it's on me to keep my calendar updated, but the way they handled things was unfair and rude.

WARNING to fellow background actors: Save your money and look elsewhere. My experience with…read moreFace2Face has been incredibly frustrating and ultimately a waste of money. After years of paying for their service and getting booked maybe once every six months, I had a recent text exchange with a rep that showed a shocking lack of industry knowledge and professionalism. They were dismissive, condescending, and even suggested I needed a 'buzz cut' despite me having no hair - clearly not paying attention to their own clients' profiles. When I escalated to the owner, Mike, he completely dismissed my concerns, defended his unprofessional employee, and essentially told me to leave if I didn't like it, even trying to blame my lack of bookings on 'industry-wide issues' while his company continues to collect fees. If you're looking for an agency that values its talent and provides actual support, Face2Face is not it. They'll happily take your money for years with minimal results and even worse customer service.
