Atrium

Atrium is amazing! I joined Atrium in February of this year and I am now employed FULL time permanently at a wonderful company near the Radio City Music Hall. I have benefits, I love my job and the company I work for has been around for decades (it is also a 7 billion dollar company) I remember how I walked into Atrium nervous and scared on a Thursday and they had me temp working before Monday! The staff is so professional and they really do care! They also work as a team. Ever since I graduated college in 2008 I struggled to find a decent stable job. I wish I would have went to Atrium sooner. If you are flexible, willing to work pleasant to be around and willing to do what they ask you to do you WILL land an incredible job! Also let me share what I have learned: Companies may post on Indeed and other websites but nobody ever checks that! They use Atrium to fill positions! TRUST me! Its either people are hired directly (internally) or because they are family of people already working there or they seek Atrium out. chances are HR has Atrium on speed dial Nobody views the online submissions at any of the places that have stable fair wage/ good wage jobs. Atrium is the only way to get a great job in NYC. I have so much faith in atrium that I just referred my sister who graduated from college a few months ago so that she does not have to struggle like I did.I know they will contact her and take good care of her like they did me. If you are willing to work and be open to anything, you will gain new friends, once in a life time experiences, networking skills and eventually your dream job! One word of advice though: If they offer to place you at IMG models.. SAY NO. Seriously Dont work for IMG Models that is the only place i would say always turn down no matter what the offer is even if its just temping for a day. That place is a literal H E double L hole and Atrium should stop doing business with them.

My average day consisted of processing 50-70 calls with excellent customer service skills in assistance with education, enrollment, transfer and complaints regarding medicaid managed care health plans. There was a very friendly and cooperative environment maintained by the staff throughout the whole day. The management made the job easier with their superb work ethic, organizational and time management skills. The most challenging aspect of the job was handling a complex complaint issue from a consumer which required the cooperation of the managed care plan great, the consumer and my rapport building skills as well as ability to communicate to achieve a positive resolution even if the consumer were not supposed to obtain what they wanted.

The most enjoyable part of the job was knowing that I was making a difference by helping people with real administrative issues concerning their health insurance, medical providers, and often utilizing neuro-lingusitic programming training on a daily basis to assist emotionally vulnerable individuals and I walked away knowing that I might have saved someone's life by doing things beyond what was required of me.

A lot of reviews for Atrium Staffing are from candidates who were placed on external assignments. This is an internal review:

There is very limited job security. Your success in the company is 100% dependent on the revenue you generate, which is completely based on the decisions of the candidates and clients you work with. You could spend three months working on a position and finally get your candidate the offer, but if the candidate decides to turn down the offer, all that hard work you put into the process goes unacknowledged if there was no fee generated. 

Growth is also very limited. You only get a raise if you get promoted, and 9 times out of 10 a promotion just means getting a higher title, but having zero change in responsibilities. 

Additionally, the culture of both the individual teams as well as among upper management needs a lot of work. If you are not one of your manager's "favorites", then good luck.

Excellent agency for those searching for temporary employment. Atrium is very communicative and is consistent in placing their associates in assignments for extended periods of time.

Gained a variety of skills and additional work experience within each placement such as; managerial skills, time management, customer service, shipping and handling.

The hardest part is the ending of an assignment after a work relationship has been established and then re-establishing that same relationship in a new environment.

The most enjoyable is the short time in between assignments, you can re-establish your viewpoints on business and gain valuable on the job experience.

I had a tough time as a temporary associate at Atrium. Yes, I did make a big mistake on my first assignment there and I understood why they were upset with me. However, they were not pleasant towards me at all, even months after the incident. The recruiters here always belittled me. This was a little harsh, seeing that I was fresh out of college and working long hours as a server. I understand the frustration of this from a business stand point, but I'm a human. We all make mistakes and have to learn from them. One thing that Atrium could do to helps its employees that they place on temporary assignments would be to offer career counseling.

This is a great agency for students back after semester looking for work and for people who cant work all the time or wish to have some flexibility in their schedules. They have relationships with all sorts of companies from corporate levels to retail and designer showrooms. The management and recruiters are super helpful and are willing to correspond with you as needed and they take great care of their associates in the event of an issue with an employer they definitely advocate for you. They also take the stress pf searching for employment off of you by calling you when they have potential assignments you'd qualify for.

What is the best part of working at the company?
So far, this has been my very favorite job.  The coaches were fabulous.  You logged in every day and started testing papers.  Meetings were brief and informative.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There was nothing stressful at all. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
This was a remote position.  You were expected to me self sufficient with little supvervision. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
30 min meeting every morning, then straight to testing.  Two 15 minute breaks and one 30 min lunch break.  The rest of the day was scoring tests.

Atrium is definitely the place to come if you just got out of a job and need to find a quick one to sustain yourself. Atrium pays you based off of experience when you first start but that pay can change if you switch jobs. There are good long term jobs they just don't come often so be flexible and patient if you apply. The managers/recruiters WILL help you but don't be entitled to their time. You have to remeber that they are bacically doing the application process for you, and proabably 10 other people amongst other things.However, I think communication can be better.

I would not recommend this staffing agency to anyone commencing their job search.

At first, they were very attentive and professional to reach out and do the initial phone screening process. I was surprised with how quickly things were running. The recruiter from Atrium Staffing was very detailed and response. After they set up the interview with the Employer. I never heard back from Atrium Staffing regarding the interview status nor any future job opportunities. 

I was looking forward to work with a staffing agency since they're able to provide you with multiple job opportunities that match your resume profile and any specific criterias. Atrium Staffing was very unprofessional.

They acted as a liaison between myself and prospective employers. I was able to work for some of the top companies in their fields such as Pfizer and Victoria Secret. The managers at Atrium are very professional and easy to reach in times of need, which is important to me. They realize that their contract employees work hard to represent them in the most professional way possible, so in return they pay generously.
