A-1 Personnel of Houston

I signed up with A-1 Personnel to work as a contractor for Harris County Public Health.
I was there for almost a year.
The work was very physically demanding and the management will take advantage of you if you’re a hard working individual who actually tries, while the lazy employees get off easy. 
Back-stabbing is a common practice here as well. Coworkers and management are highly unprofessional and will constantly talk about you behind your back. Fellow employees are always looking for ways to throw you under the bus, in order to look good in front of management. Overall a pretty toxic environment. 
Work is also a bit unpredictable. Some days could be super laid back and we didn’t do much, while others we’re extremely strenuous and management would try to work you to death if they were feeling the pressure from higher ups and/or if they were just in a bad mood. If you’re going to work here you need to learn to stand up for yourself, and fast, because they WILL take advantage of you.
On a positive note, the pay was pretty decent.
Also we got long breaks and lots of free food, but over time management got cheap and even that stopped happening very often.

I gained this position during one of the minor elections, and it was an experience I can't really complain about. The hours were 14 a day, but the pay made up for this immensely. Generally the workers had to be very quiet as voters cast their ballots, so this made a good time for me to finish a book I had started, as well as engage in other creative projects and pastimes. No phone usage was allowed, and the setup and teardown of each day was relatively easy. Two breaks were included, each 30 minutes. This lasted for 10 days.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flexible schedule and variety of placements.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
On call placement.  I prefer prior notice.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I don't work directly at A1-PERSONNEL it is a temporary agency.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Unstressed because my skills are carefully matched with employer preferences

The hiring process was very straightforward and well-organized:   Had a couple phone calls and an in-person interview.

The work assignment was very good (working with Harris County's Community Services Division) and accounting-related.

Coworkers were professional. dependable, approachable and very willing to help a new employee learn the position's tasks.

All in all, a very good temp company.

The job itself is good. The management? Not so much. I worked with A1 in the ADA department and the manager fired me because he told me not to come in then proceeded to say he told me to come in the next day. 

My job at A1 Personnel was a seasonal job.  They contract with the City of Houston every year.  This was my second year out there and I enjoyed working there.  As you know its outdoors and I love working outdoors.  There were good days and not so good days, but for the most part I learned a lot.  The job requires a lot of walking and sometimes can be over whelming.

The A-1 Personnel is a ok company to work for the job I was on was fast paced, customer service oriented.  I enjoyed working for the company they sent me to.

It's a temp. agency and I don't think the recruiters match you with jobs that fit your skill set nor do they follow up with the clients . They Once sent me on an interview and their client had never even seen my resume prior to me showing up for the interview.

it was awesome and exciting to be a part of something involving land improvement .It taught me how to improve my lawn and take care of it to. the best part of the job was time with co-workers and talking about our families.

Great opportunity to learn new and expand skills. Paid every week. Feel comfortable with hiring managers and feedback while assigned in work place with contractor.
