Balance Staffing

This was a terrible work experience from the start, it seemed dis organized and threw together literally!! No matter of me  having perfect attendance or working very hard to certify and systems train a class of 30 agents in three weeks!!! Me and my peer trainer were the ONLY class to RTS(ready to sell) our entire class!! We were told we would be compensated for that and were NOT, we also managed our teams but were blind sided by the GOOD agents being provided to the client and being expected to make salesman out of the struggling agents while being criticized on their progress with NO spa/nesting period to make mistakes provided.  Because of this mismanagement of Balance Staffing all the trainers and supervisors (ME)  lost their income one random Friday,  5 weeks prior to the contract ending. The agents the client kept have permanent roles with GOHEALTH but the teachers that helped Balance where just asked to go. Screw our families, children and all the work we provided with no warning although we ASKED over and over should we PREPARE other Means to Feed our kids?? By far the worst experience ever, was given a door dash voucher and it says its already redeemed, like nothing worker NOT EVEN THE REALLY HARD WORKERS. I have never left so GAS LIT by a company in all my life. Literally set us up for failure and took the fruits of our labor! Balance Staffing is Not an equal opportunity employer no a great place to work.

This was first experience with this agency. I waited about 45 mins the girls at thr front desk were so busy talking to other girls ignoring the packed office. I interviewed was told to come back later in the day. I waited another 30 mins said they needed to do drug test and background check and would get back to me. I never got a call back i kept calling all day no one answered the phone voicemail fill. After a week went back cause i couldnt get a response from the Recuiter. They never did do my background after leaving me hanging over a week. After all that the recuiter said they didnt have anything available i was not happy. I got a call from another recuiter for a production it was worest job on my feet 8 hours a day very physical i expressed my concerns they didnt seem to care if i got injured on the job. The graveyard was rude asked me if i wanted to released i said no i needed a job. It was the worest experience when i told them i have issues with my bad back. It wasnt a good paying either they didnt give all the info about the pay periods either i needed all my money that i had already worked the hours had to wait another week to get all my pay. I wouldnt go through this agency they dont follow through with anything i wasted my time.Its all about making $$ for the agency.

I was placed at Cardinal Glass through a temp agency called Balance Staffing. The job was fantastic but it was only a temp job lasting about 8 months or so. I was however happy to place this job on my resume because I got a ton of experience driving boom lifts (almost every day of the entire job), and I got industrial experience -- like, working around cranes with lockout/tag-out protocols.

Basically, my job was to be their personal CCTV installer, installing roughly 50 new IP and analog cameras and doing maintenance on their other 60-70 pre-existing IP and analog cameras. I worked side by side with their IT consultant during the installation. All of the cameras required the use of either a 20' boom lift or a 60' boom lift.

I also worked independently here. The management left most of the executive decision making, as far as my job title was concerned, up to me.

I also got some experience working side by side with the companies maintenance electricians for a few months during my employment.

Cardinal Glass was great but Balance Staffing was difficult to deal with. Problems with paychecks, Problems with their "cash card" gimmick they forced me to receive my checks on, inconsiderate and disrespectful of my rights as their employee.

Plumchoice.com was the contractor for Balancestaffing.com, they  had 2 different accounts HP and Avast . A typical day at work would include servicing multiple computers at the same time  while interacting with customers via chat, or telephone in spanish or english, connect to whatever country the customer lived in , Spain,UK,Mexico,Canada, Australia, New Zeland. It also involved using many many many windows open at the same time and not losing track of the multiple tasks that are happening simultaneously, while at the same time you are in constant chat communication with your team and managers and account supervisors and customers. my workstation was a Citrix virtual windows 7 computer, that we connected to via a company portal,a software toolkit was provided and constantly updated. HP accounts were only in US and Canada,I Love fixing computers to for me ultimately was is most rewarding is knowing that i have provided top notch help to someone who really needed it and that they can feel in peace and comfort with my tech support skills.

A typical day at work involves collaborating with all departments. HR is a call or few steps away, but so is IT and many other departments!

We are fortunate that leadership has a strong passion for ensuring we have a positive, supportive, and family-friendly feel in all that we do. Recruiters, Account Managers, and Account Executives are all committed to our candidates and clients equally, which is necessary for us to operate. 

The hardest part of the job is being mindful that it is growing: processes are being developed, and you WILL have an active part of this process! That is also the most enjoyable part, however. As long as you enjoy having a bit of influence, this will probably be a good fit for you. You are not a cog in this wheel. 

Diversity is also a huge thing that we appreciate and encourage. Nearly all of leadership comes from a diverse background and this is openly celebrated.

Balance Staffing is a career killer. Experienced recruiters may join with the intention of helping this struggling company succeed, but they’re quickly met with frustration due to a lack of tools, support, and direction. The company hides its lack of employee development behind vague claims about “fitting in with their values,” when in reality, there’s little structure or strategy. High internal turnover speaks volumes—management refuses to address the root issues: poor training, weak leadership, and an unhealthy culture. Employees are expected to give 110% without guidance or resources, and when results fall short, the blame is shifted back onto them. The organization feels disorganized, reactive, and desperate to stay afloat. Instead of empowering staff, they create burnout and confusion. Balance Staffing needs serious reform in leadership, accountability, and employee support before it can truly live up to its name.

My prior jobs in banking taught me a great deal about developing customer service skills that made people feel like they were part of a family. My average day consisted of supporting my branch operations while developing business leads. Cold calls to prospective customers were done weekly.
I doubled as an asst. branch manager at times when my supervisor was spliting duties at other branches.
I always was able to get my co-workers to laugh and function at a high level of competency.
I had management skills acquired at prior positions in government service.
The hardest part of the job was competing (product-wise) with bigger banks. At EB&TC, our branch was only their second location. The bank is now 21 branches strong.
Yet, I really enjoyed the market conditions when other (larger) banks were merging or failing as that created new opportunities to woo potential customers into our client base.

At first you'll get 40-60 hours than out of nowhere they'll stop requesting you. Pay is terrible, work is boring, company is incompetent. There are whole weeks that go by that I don't even work. You're just a temp, and that's how they treat you. You're not equal to the employees at the warehouse, you're less than they are, and that's how management treats you. If the incompetent supervisors break one of the machines (which happens daily) prepare to stand around for three hours, or prepare to go home and not return to work for about two and a half weeks. You'll be lucky if you make enough to put gas in your car, or pay your phone bill. So many really good and hard working people were laid off or quit do to how the place is run. I advise anyone not to even waste their time and energy on this warehouse position.

Typical day at work:
 - drive around assisting customers, fixing gates and machines, control and direct traffic.
 - fast paced throughout the whole shift.
 - job duties vary depending on needs of the customers.
What I learned:
 - learned how to deal with various customer emotions in a professional way.
 - how to pace myself so that all necessary job duties will be completed in a timely manner.
 -Developed a stronger ability to multi-task.
Hardest part of my job:
 - Dealing with multiple angry customers at one time and still complete my assignment on time.
Most enjoyable part of the job:
 - Meeting different personalities.
 - Making an angry customer day a lot better by providing the most helpful service I can.

Management does not have any leadership skills. Lots of favoritism, If you don't kiss the right butt you're not going to make it. No matter how productive you are, it's never good enough for them. They pressure you and make you feel worthless despite all your efforts and meeting your goals. Management never had concrete answers for anything, they never follow through with what they say. They threaten you every chance they get, God forbid you have a family emergency if you leave early you'll get a write up for sure. You MUST be available 24/7. They expect you to breath, eat and live Balance Staffing. 
Only thing I enjoyed about my job was meeting new people and helping them with their job search.
