Pros

Worked directly for this staffing agency and received one and a half years of office experience including payroll experience. The other ladies I worked with were nice if shy.

Cons

The owner is not a good person. He would make fun of the candidates that came in to interview after they left. The jokes targeted their religious beliefs and sexuality. He would have us schedule interviews with people that were asking for higher pay rates and specific postings for administrative positions and then offer them jobs for warehouse positions for less money. We were instructed to lie to candidates about available jobs to give them false hope and keep them on the hook in case we needed them, also to keep our numbers looking good. We were told to lie about whether or not a job was a temp or temp to hire position. Many of the clients we worked with had incredibly high turn over rates but we would have to lie and say what good companies they are too candidates. We would constantly get complaints about the owner's behavior. He was over aggressive and often used his physical size to intimidate people into doing what he wanted. He would be very rude and insulting to candidates on the phone. We were put into unsafe positions including dealing with meth addicts by ourselves and receiving death threats over the phone. The owner would always tell us to just deal with it on our own when we told him about it because it's our job to handle it. He would lie to the unemployment board and make up evidence so that candidates would be denied unemployment. It was horrible working there and incredibly uncomfortable. He also keeps anti abortion signs in the front window which is incredibly unprofessional.

Pros

There is nothing positive for me to say in association with this staffing agency

Cons

First off I have to wonder about the positive reviews up there because for one, Pridestaff hired me on for a Temp to Hire position. This position lasted 3 days. I contacted them first after the assignment ended and they told me that they had nothing else after i contacted them. I contacted them again and they told me that they had nothing. Only and only when i filled for unemployment did they contact me and told me they had work for a day or 2. Then they lied to the unemployment agency saying I did not contact them for reassignment and that they weren't going to pay my uunemployment. I don't recommend employers or employees to work with this temp agency.

Pros

Pride staff agents are very helpful an patient new potential employment seekers, I didn’t have a problem getting in contact with one of the best agents the have Candyce Hayes and the starting date was very fast, pride staff has exuberant customer service.

Cons

Only con I can think ooh is the direct deposit situation, which has nothing to do with the employees only the chain of action, I saw this only because most business offer instant direct deposit as soon as the employer/accountant puts in the info. Other than that pride staff is amazing.
