I'm currently still on a temporary/contract assignment and I think highly of Allied Global. My contacts with the couple of assignments I've had have been very understanding and approachable. Previous experiences with contract work with other companies have not gone even half as well being way shorter (I'm mostly in the data entry and tech support pool) and both assignments through Allied have gone well enough that I'd recommend them to others.

Both assignments add valuable skills and buzzwords to list on my resume (business insurance and Salesforce experience, among others) and I think are overall great ways to get started back into the workforce after family illnesses that required I be basically a caregiver. Both assignments have been basic full time 40 hours a week jobs paying $14-$16/hour, which is just where I wanted to grow from in experience. 

AG might consider checking in with me as I'm on assignment, which they haven't done. The only contact since I started my second assignment has been a handful of times I've needed to call out for illness or to take care of family. I also wish there was someway to be considered for better positions with other clients under certain circumstances.The reason I think that is my current assignment has no end date. This isn't because they're considering me for a more permanent role, I've actually applied no less than 3 times for open positions with the company I'm assigned to since I like the environment and commute but have been repeatedly given the cold shoulder and not even given an interview so the odds of something longer term working out seem super unlikely at this point. That's fine, I do understand it may not be quite the fit they want despite hiring 4 people as full time employees since I started the assignment. AG has other positions available that look just as good that I could grow into even more possibly but I've been told they simply would not put me in for another client due to still having the assignment.

-Metric based job where they prefer you’re making as many calls/cold calls as possible a day vs measuring overall success/learnings 
-100% metric based and you’re heavily monitored and compared to the rest of the office daily
-Poor feedback from management, if any
-Poor training program
-Bonuses and commissions are low
-Very poor/expensive health insurance 
-Extremely low amount PTO offered
-They expect you to work overtime hours/work through lunches if your numbers are low with no additional pay offered
-Low job security / very high stress

Decent amount of work life balance if you need to step out for a Dr’s appointment or something. 

At the end of the day some of the work you provide is meaningful and rewarding but placing someone in a job often felt like “making a sale” vs making sure the person was actually a good fit for the role/would be better off in this new job.

There are some great people who work there, fun parties, and chances for office camaraderie, however keep in mind you will be scolded for any time not spent at your desk not making calls and there is always someone watching.

The management style I experienced was often hearing my boss was disappointed in something I did/wasn’t doing from another employee but nothing was ever said to me directly.

It’s a good place to gain experience but I would recommend keeping in mind it is an extremely high stress role with a high turnover rate and little job security. If you slip up and your numbers are down, you’re out.

This is a Staffing Agency. Many of the reviews are about working for a client through Allied or experience using their services, but I worked for Allied directly as a Recruiter.

If you're using their services, it's not bad. Just know the recruiter will do everything they can to persuade you if it's in their best interest.

Working there, however, can be deceitful. It was great until it wasn't. I wondered how it had been around so long yet felt like a startup, it's because turnover is a way of life. They only hire Recruiters in training but don't have a training program, and much of what is taught is irrelevant. They inflate the earning potential you have when starting out. Management is a bit out of touch with how the industry has evolved, and they'll console but not support you. They fail to recognize any contribution apart from individual sales figures, even sales made without direct credit or a boost to overall company sales. You won't receive negative feedback or constructive advice because they often don't have the answers, but it's all on you to succeed anyway. 

I enjoyed the people at Allied and believe leadership means well, but seem disconnected. There is the potential for success, but it felt like mowing lawns with a cylinder push mower.  Efficiency was my problem, but installing a motor would be time spent not mowing lawns.




A typical day at Allied is checking in with all clients to make sure temps made it on time and see what other needs have arose, to answer phones and pre-screen new applicants or staff existing temps to open jobs, to fill job orders from clients, to follow-up on existing clients and maintain relationships, to take walk-in applicants looking for jobs, to interview new applicants and complete all necessary paperwork in computer data base, send and reply to all emails from clients, send background checks on new applicants, give new applicants drug screens, communicate with co-workers and management about clients, job openings and fills, and other important information throughout the day. Allied would have BBQ cook outs for holidays, holiday parties off-site, bonuses for staffing managers according to bonus structure. Allied is like a second family due to the tight knit team and has good insurance and vacation days.

Come to work early, setting computer up, and be ready to work at your required schedule. Stay focused, meets all responsibilities and more.

There are many skills I have learned, in many different fields. The computer software is a never ending process. The software is build for the company, its always a new experience.

I believe management is a very important roll for the employee. I have always had a manager that has had, an open door policy. Any questions or concerns would be provided with efficient results.

I handle my co-workers with respect, if I would need questions answered my co-workers would also assist. I am very detailed oriented, I take my job serious.

My worst criticizer is myself, do the job, efficiently, accurately, and complete the job the first time.

I like enjoy, learning new projects, with different industries. This allows me to be much more marketable to the work place.

I have worked there and  friends who are 16-19 that work there and they enjoy it. Not bad hours, good pay and you are working with a lot of people your age, so there's good chat and you can all relate. 
McDonalds to a lot of training i'm pretty sure. My friends get a lot of training in different areas and when they work hard they get moved up a position. It's a good place to work because there's always a chance of promotion. 

Tell them at the interview about your stutter. They can't refuse you the job because of it, that is illegal. Ask if you can work in the kitchen. Remember that they are human beings, not just interviewers. They will probably take what you asked into consideration. 

Also, it's good for them if you work in the kitchen. They don't want you getting nervous and losing customers. But if it's just a stutter and no nervousness behind it, then work at the till. People won't mind. Nobody is going to point and laugh out loud at you!

Bartending for allied staffing was one of the most challenging positions I have every held. The bar may very from night to night. You definitely had to bring your A game in charisma every gig. My co-workers normally weren't at my level of entertainment, and it was reflected in their tips. I can only remember twice when I didn't come out of any establishment without the most tips. The most frustrating part of the job was the spontaneous work schedule and short work weeks if they're not any shifts available. But other than that management, employees and the job all around was great.

The job itself was fantastic, however, the mgt team who sets up travel does not take into consideration how far the employee lives from the airport; benefits are very minimal if that; compensation is great when you are at the office working, however, if you are required to be at a meeting and you are there on a Sunday evening and it is late, your compensation is very little especially if you have been up since 3am so you could travel to the airport and then hotel and etc. The people you work with were fantastic - they respected one another and were compassionate with others.

Being a conversion coach is interesting to say the least. You constantly learn new things about the software you are teaching to the Dr.'s and Nurses at each location you are sent to. 
Coworkers are wonderful! You become a cohesive team very quickly as you rely on each other if an issue arises.
The hardest part of the job is the disorganization of upper management. It can get in the way of performing your job at your best sometimes.
The most enjoyable part of the job is the teamwork and medical environment you are exposed to while on an assignment.

A typical day at work consisted of packing orders according to pick ticket, heavy lifting, pulling and pushing heavy pallets with pallet jack, training people for Quick Pick or Bulk as needed. I learned to work very fast and be extremely efficient. My co-workers were nice poeple and they made the work fun. The hardest part of the job would have been the push orders and last minute priority orders that had to be done and shipped out immediately. The most enjoyable part of the job is that I moved around all the time and got a full athletic work out while working.
