Pros
Office culture is high energy and very fun. The regional managers celebrate everything. Training is engaging, informative, and fun. The people can be very warm.
Cons
This warmness in the office environment only exists if you "fit in". As previous reviews have discussed, it is about how you look at this company. I knew my particular office was a bit religious but it didn't really bother me. I enjoyed the work. I liked helping people find work (although it was temporary). The problem with the company is how they practice discrimination. I understand companies (clients) had certain criteria (also discriminatory). We would have to place people in positions based on race, sex, appearance, and language. There were code words used in the office such as heavies (men) or lights (women). Instead of just looking at a persons experience in their application, we would have to scroll down and look at their I-9 forms to see what they "looked like" on their photo i.d. If they looked questionable, we would bring them in to basically check them out in person. If they listed too much experience on their application they were pretty much "unable to be placed" due to their age. The religious practices in the office was a little much but I didn't speak out. My regional manager insisted on group prayers constantly. Another problematic, systematic problem is their failure to make clear to the temp employees they sign on to what the charges are going to be. Employees don't realize they are going to be charged for background checks, id badges, etc. They do this anually also without making that clear to employees. I tried to tell employees this and was told not to. Legally, it is in the fine print of some of the forms they sign when they apply. Deceptive. They also will knowingly have potential temp employees show up at work site, knowing that at least some of them will be sent home unable to work because they overcompensate for "no-shows". And the payroll system for many of these temps is a mess. Instead of allowing employees to pick them up at office, if needed, they mail them out so it is days, if ever, that they get them. And if the check is wrong (as if often the case), employees have to continually fight for weeks to get paid correctly. This happened over and over again in my time there. I was eventually let go because my regional manager realized I was a gay man.
