-Reneged on commute stipend:
I was promised (on my employment contract) a fixed commute stipend of $xxx. I worked for these amateurs for 2.5 months. The first month, I received my full stipend. The second month, I gave my two week notice and had to fight to get my full commute stipend for the month (it took copying the CEO on my email correspondence). I was then told that I would not receive any more commute stipend as a retaliation for me giving my two week notice to resign.
-Over-deduction for health insurance:
My health insurance premiums were $xxx per pay period. During my last month (which was only 2 weeks), an open enrollment period occurred and ATR used a loophole in my contract to deduct ~$400 more than required to pay my premiums for the month because of a change in the monthly premiums with an 'addendum page' that I never received under full disclosure.
There are many other staffing firms that can easily get you the same jobs of which these crooks recruit. I highly advise to stay away from Arena Technical Resources, far away. they will strongarm you if you decide to leave them.
