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.

The woman that called me was very terse and very critical of my resume. I was thinking, okay maybe my resume is not written good enough for a temp agency, they do see a LOT of resumes so I went ahead and scheduled an appointment for the interview, even though I wasn't sold on the job. Also, with the unemployment rate as high as it is... She could have been nicer! geez o pete! Back to the facts. She told me parking instructions would be in a following email, there were no instructions. Best I could guess was the phrase 'the appointment will take about 30 minutes' means "pay the meter accordingly." I'm glad I even found the meter after I had just passed a lot for $4 and not having that much cash on me. I get up to suite 675 and there are not numbers on any of the suites, I happened to see a TRC Staffing sign inside of a suite, with the sign direction inward, not towards the door. I was 45 minutes early (I misjudged how long it would take me to get downtown, and had run errands before hand) I was promptly told that I could not fill out the application that had been emailed to me "because that's just not how they do it." they could not print it out, and they could not let me sit at a computer to work on it there, when it was sent to me that morning, while I was getting ready for the interview. I was promptly sent out the door. Best option was to reschedule, since I was so off put by everything else, I was just done. In today's economy with so many people unemployed for such long amounts of time, I cannot understand how this place gets by. The potential employee is the customer!!! Be nice to them!
