As my first full-time position out of college, I can definitely say my experience with CSU has been nothing short of rewarding. During the interview process, I was told that everyone in CSU has a "work hard, play hard" mentality, and that's proven to be completely accurate. Everyone works hard from the moment they walk in to the office until they leave, and the work ethic of those around me is inspiring. With that being said, the culture of this company can't be beat! Everyone understands that along with working hard, you also need to make sure you give yourself a break from time to time. You can leave the office for lunch, take a ping pong break with your coworker, and have an occasionally dance party when things get rough. My coworkers are competitive, but in a positive way. Everyone is pushed to do their best, and management is willing to provide what is necessary in order for everyone to reach their full potential. From an extensive training program, to monthly check-ins during your first three months, this company sets up their employees to succeed. Everyone is extremely hardworking, yet kind. I feel that my work creates value for the company, and I feel valued as an employee. Being a nationwide staffing company can provide difficulties in regards to communication with other offices. However, a quick email or phone call can get you the answers that you need. Management is amazing and totally open to communication. They completely understand the needs of their employees and are extremely helpful.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing really stands out. The staff was nice at first but if you don’t stand your ground a demand what your worth they will take advantage. Getting paid weekly was the best part of it

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They refuse to answer your text, or call you back. They always say they will get back with you and weeks later dont. They don’t like paying stipend pay to CNA’s. I travel over 60 miles and ask about getting it and they say they will have to check with corporate office but never get back. Months later after continuing to drive the miles I still didn’t get an answer. When asked again do to change in contract I was again ignored and told that they can’t keep answering questions because they are getting busy and I’m just going to have to be more independent about things. Lol over 30 years as a CNA and that’s what I get. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They are too busy to answer your calls, call or text you back and don’t call the facility to let them know if you called in or are running late but if you do it and don’t call in to the office you get reprimanded for it.  Very frustrating. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Frustrating. I should just call companies and work for myself because I get better results when I call them directly but then get told I can’t do that. I have to go through them but they don’t always answer you and don’t want to pay you very well. You have to fight for your pay rate and they will tell you the facility only pays so much but they charge over double what you get paid

This is the most unorganized credentialing company???? I have ever worked for. First no one knew how to credential correctly, any time I showed them something new they were like ooo how did you do that??? Bunch of idiots. If they were jacho accredited they would have lost their accreditation because no ones personal docs are ever put away stuff is just everywhere, now they have someone who doesn't know the first thing about getting a company jacho accredited ready trying to do it (hahahahahah) she barely knew her job when we worked together and this is who you trust to get you accredited(hahahah good luck) they don't know what the individual state requirements are so this same person called to ask if we could send her the state requirement excell sheet we had.
You cannot go to any other manager or hr person because everyone working there are drinking and fu*k buddies. One of the managers caroline is the biggest b*tch of them all. If you do work here and and decide to leave do not expect to be getting umemployment cause they do whatever they can to keep you from getting it including but not limited to lying.  This is the most shi**iest company I have ever had the misfortune to work for but lesson learned. The salary is a joke they basically offer you less that you are worth with the promise to make it up by placing providers at 75.00 Per person but the catch is caroline the manage has all the placements you get maybe one to two per month while making you do bs like polish the plastic plants in the office

The pay and the long wait to receive benefits are not competitive. They make decisions and don't think them through very well. They make company announcements to the workforce that leaves everyone feeling on edge and having questions about their job security. The ATS system could be more up to date. You will end up hiring more CNAs than LPNs and RNs, unless you are an Administrative Recruiter. This results in lower commissions. They don't consider your time zone when assigning you to territories, which results in poor work/life balance. I was assigned to remote territories (New Mexico and West Virginia), with almost half of my assigned nursing home centers being in rural low populated areas with no nearby universities, and expected to find water in a desert. You're suppose to get access to an Indeed account for recruiters after 30 days of employment, but it never happens, even though your manager says they have put in a request for it. They are a certified great place to work. The teams were great to work with, and the account managers were helpful, and great advocates, but the limited talent pool, and the territory restrictions, didn't make it such a great place to work in my experience. I asked about hosting a virtual job fair, but I was told that there was no budget for that. No company is perfect, but my grievances made it difficult to be successful, in spite of my hard work. Thank you for giving me a place to refresh my skills, but it's time for me to move on to recruiting in regions with a more robust talent pool, and higher compensation.

I have worked for Career Staff for approximately 4 years. The work environments have been wonderful, but I have taken a pay cut in salary and unable to afford medical health insurance. Career Staff is a large company and I'm unable to get work during the summer months. This is very upsetting because I preer to work in the summer months and not being assigned to work causes a finnacial strain. I'm currently at a school which will require a nurse but the company in which we contract does not have money available to have a nurse in the school. I contacted Career Staff and was hoping to get work no later than tommorrow, but the staffing personnel stated" I'm waiting on a big contract from hospice and a home health by next week and I will let you know when you can work". I believe I should be able to work as soon as possible due to this company being an agency for R.N.

I held a few positions with CareerStaff & they there not great. My first manager was not fit for her position as she did not speak to some of her employees. Work was disorganized with no clear direction, and she was not supportive. You had to force a work-life balance as she & managers from other offices would try to have you working late into the night. 
Furthermore, my 2nd manager was awesome, but her manager made it seem as though my team was just the help. My team abided by the “sandbox rules” while other teams were free to take candidates as they wanted. 

The company culture was very competitive as other recruiters would steal candidates. Rules of engagement was not a priority for upper management, so they didn’t really seem to care about what was going on. Instead of trying to compete with other companies, it was a competition between CareerStaff teams. And managers openly discussed terminations whether it was from their team or not.

The pay was only increased if you moved positions. Compensation was not competitive or even close to the market average. However, I did enjoy the flexibility especially if I needed to run errands. 

Hired on for a traveling pharmacy tech position and it’s got it’s own ups and downs. Month long contracts away from home can be rough but pay well and the living allowances are good. No paid drive time but mileage is paid. However it is up to the client being contracted out to to cover hotel/food costs, and a majority of places don’t wish to do so. If you live in a major metropolitan area you will likely find plenty of work and would be great for someone looking to grab some shifts in between school or as a second flexible job. Otherwise I don’t recommend if you’re in a less populated area as you can be asked to travel several hours away. On top of that seeking employment on a more permanent basis has become an issue, as there are many places with contracts with CareerStaff and while having not worked at the places in which I was applying for, I was turned down because they would have to pay out my contract with CareerStaff. Also if you’re looking to get experience outside of retail forget it, you’re pretty much locked into it. 

I got offered a job as a healthcare recruiter with no previous recruiting or industry experience. The training was wonderful, and I felt pretty prepared to succeed in this role. While remote work had its challenges, I learned fast and felt supported by my manager and coworkers. It is a very challenging job with high volume metric goals. This is not a position for someone who wants an easy clock-in clock-out kind of job. There were a lot of things that I needed to learn along the way that training lacked to provide. Every day, I faced new challenges. However, the work was very rewarded, and I enjoyed the outcome and ability to make a difference. Unfortunately, I was let go unexpectedly with no prior warning or clear reason. I was very shocked because my manager told me that I was doing well and on the right track to success. The way I was let go was unprofessional and a bit shady. I wish it were handled better, and I have a tainted perception of their values and management protocols. 

Company has completely changed since when I was hired on. Leadership over hired, overestimated, misspent with the covid surplus. Then, to course correct, did multiple layoffs in a distasteful manor. The remaining employees took on 2-3x their agreed upon workload, for more than a year. Without complaint, mostly. We all wanted CSU to succeed. We completed multiple large projects, took on a more congested workload. Then, more rounds of a few “small RIF’s” continued, before it was revealed we would be “merging” with another company. It was poorly organized from the start. Even prior to the layoff, they did not ask the people that actually DO the jobs they decided to “restructure” before changing every facet of their work day on a dime. Constantly. Constantly changing process’ to “streamline”. They keep people in leadership positions that have NO business leading anyone. Specifically the “departments” they are over. They do not know what the job is that they are “overseeing”. Time, and time again, the wrong people were let go due the financial strife that was, frankly - avoidable. 

Although I absolutely love working with children and my coworkers are kind and we all get along, I am looking for more from an employer (i.e. resources, opportunity, communication, etc.). A typical day for me includes either pushing into a classroom or bringing students in to my therapy room and I complete individual as well as small group therapy sessions; typically, I will assist them with working on fine motor/visual motor skills, sensory, and emotional regulation. I have learned a lot about Autism as well as ABA techniques, I have tried out many new techniques as well as new assessments and have grown in my confidence and abilities, but I am looking for more. I think the hardest part of my position is being the only OT in the building with very little support/resources available and because I am contracted outside of the school, school staff/personnel tend to forget about us (OT and SPL) and leave us out of important communications.
