All-Star Personnel

My day starts around 6:00 am because I want to see my 3rd shift employees before they go home. One of my top priorities in managing over 300 employees is communication. I KNOW my employees, and I feel that it is very important because I know which ones have high ratings for teamwork, multitasking, and adaptability. These are very desirable skills in today's job responsibilities, as well as a need to have more communication skills. I encourage my employees to be more adaptable to the changing workplace. I want them to aim high, and I encourage them to apply to posted positions in different departments that interest them. I am proud to say that I have had so many employees move up in positions and promotions. I have been managing staff since I was 16 years old working at my first job at Hardees in Monteagle, TN. Management comes natural to me because of my exceptional communication skills, my ability to have my employees work as a TEAM not individually, my uncanny ability to multitask and love it. The crazier things get the quicker I think on my feet, and I am notorious for my ease of adaptability. In today's workforce, the only constant thing you can count on is change, so you have to be able to think on your feet, assess problems, and develop solutions in potentially chaotic situations. As I tell my employees, never stop learning, ask questions, know how to run every machine in this plant, and then look for something else to learn. I am the same way. I want to learn about everything. The more I know,  the stronger I am as an employee will enable me to give above and beyond to my company. I want to grow with my company as I help my company grow, and I have the skills to do just that. I have a very diverse and impressive education that has shaped me into a very ethical individual, and I would love to display my skills, passion, and ethics.

I have little experience with this company.  This review is subjective to my current situation and may not be the same as the experience of others.  However, the time that I have worked with them, this is what I have found:  the personnel are friendly and seem to sincerely want to find employment for the people that they hire.  People who are looking for industrial or factory work will be able to find and pursue employment here but perhaps not at an average hourly rate.  However, if you are not looking for industrial or factory work, then your chances of finding meaningful employment are not very good.

The typical day at this company was a very slow, long, and a boring day. 
I learned how to be organized and how to sort through items really fast and proficient.
The management here was really strict about policies and procedures and I think they were too strict with everyone.
My co-workers here were really kind and helpful, and they were really fun to work with.
The hardest part of the job was trying to read each individual ink cartridge at a fast, accurate speed.
The best part of the job was being able to walk around the facility because I don't like staying in one spot but if it's part of the job, then I'll do it.

I go to work every morning on time or earlier for overtime. I learned alot about people and culture since i'm new here in the US and it's my first job here.Our superiors and managements were nice and accomodating. I enjoyed working on this different field because I was in manufacturing before and now in warehouse and recycling. It's like there is a twist. The hardest part of this job is working on heat this summer and cold on winter at the working area. The most enjoyable part is working with different kind of people and working on different kind of products. It's an addition to my knowledge and experiences.

A typical day at Vi-Jon was very fast paced and difficult.
I learned how to stack pallets correctly and how to work in a warehouse.
The management there are very kind and they try to help each individual as much as they can.
My co-workers there were okay, they really didn't talk to me or anything, I pretty much kept to myself while I was there.
The hardest part of the job was keeping up with everyone else and maintaining quantity and quality plus safety.
The best part of the job was stacking the pallets with the boxes of items, it's like a timed puzzle.

While this position allowed me to work closely with future and present employees, it was difficult because of limitations given to me by management.  We were expected to fill positions with employees that were not always qualified creating voids in our productivity.  Some of the future employee's had police records and could become violent at times.  This aspect of the job has been resolved somewhat but the expectations remained the same.

All-Star Personnel, Inc., one of the premier employment agencies in Middle Tennessee, has been locally owned, operated and an active member of the community since 1996. We understand the marketplace, the local industries and can adapt easily to your needs. All-Star has grown from its modest beginnings to include six branches, seven on-site staffing locations and one corporate office throughout Tennessee. We have employment and temp agencies in Nashville, Murfreesboro, Smyrna, Lebanon, Portland and Gallatin.

I applied for a job with them, they called me later and told me to come in for a orientation.
I was then told I would have to pay them $80 for the required physical, $40 out of the first two checks.
Then I was told I must pay $42 for the drug test.

I did not ask for a drug test or a physical

The job paid $12 a hour.

I would have to work a 10 hour day just to pay for that, considering you must pay taxes even more than that.

The company was great, but we didn't have enough work. We needed to have more clients to hire for. We staffed for numerous clients in the area but at times the communication was poor and the number of employees needed was not conveyed correctly. We would end up with unhappy employees who thought they had a job, but they actually we're not needed.

The work was simple and easy. They allowed us to listen to music and that helped pass by the time while working. I learned how to process inbound books and how to grade them. I learned how to process and price items.  It was a diverse work environment and you were left alone to do your work unless you had a question or they needed to address something with you.
