A typical day at work requires me to be at the facitly at exactly 2:55pm I am to clock in and relieve the operator whom worked the machine for 1st shift and set the station up for my shift. At 3pm the machines start running, my job is to pick up a certain amount of straws that come down the conveyer belt (non-stop), bag them, seal the opening and put them in a box. Each box has to contain exactly 16 bags, the goal is to make 6 boxes every hour (marking off as we go) for 8 hours totaling 48 boxes at the end of the shift, however the trick to meeting quota is that you also have to stop the machine every 4 boxes to add more paper which requires taking it apart and putting it back together. Sometimes you get a good machine that'll run excellent through out the evening and sometimes you dont which I believe is hard for some of us to meet quota. Lunch time comes around at 6pm and my team leader comes around to my station and relieve me for my break, I get exactly thirty minutes to eat and return to my station! For the remainder of the day I am to continue bagging straws and packing boxes until 10:55pm when the person starting 3rd shift comes to relieve me. Im am not to clock out until exactly 11pm which is when the shift ends and thats my entire day at work. 

Working at DPC I've learned alot more about team work and working as a unit to meet the companys needs, I've learned that consistancy as an individual is essential because even though we work as a team my production alone does matter, I've also gained a great amount of patience from working with bad machines.

Management was pretty simple considering the fact that we work "shifts" and each shift has their own team learder whos on site the entire time.

Because of the fact that we have a quota to meet by the end of the night my co-workers and I dont really comminucate unless one need help at thier station or if we're on break, but other than that we have to be focused and working at all times.

The hardest part of my job is that I feel as though its too closed in, Im the type of person that likes to move around, work with people and comunicate with different people through out the day and working as a machine operator I dont really get that a lot.

The most enjoyable part about DPC is that it teaches me how important it is to be consistant and dedicated.

They would usually call me and tell me about a client that was looking for temporary workers (sometimes for permanent hire). I would report for the assignment details, such as; shift, break and lunch times, and attire requirements. I've worked jobs where i would have to inspect and pack the merchandise into the correct containers, jobs where I would come in build boxes for certain merchandise inspect and pack the material into the boxes. I have also worked assembly line jobs where i had workers before and after me in the line and  had to inspect the merchandise and pack it in the correct packages in a QUICK but accurate manner. Most jobs th coworkers worked well together and were very suitable for their jobs. The hardest part about the jobs was keeping up with some of the fast paced machines on the assembly lines, and some of my most enjoyable times were trying too compete against the machines in order to finish ahead of time or stay ahead of the machine.

I like Davis Staffing because they work with you to place u as soon as something is available for what you are compatible with. The only thing I don't like is when you have to take off work because of something out of your control, it goes against you and they hesitate about sending you back out to a company. Some companies have to realize that people have things that go on in their lives outside of their job and things may happen that's out of their control. Yes there are some people that rarely take off work and that's great, I don't think anyone intentionally wants to not go to work especially if they really need their job. Some things just can't be avoided and unexpected things occur.  Yes u do have an agreement to work every day that you are scheduled but at the same time you may not be able to make it every single day due to unexpected occurrences.

out of 5-10 assignments only had one bad. I genuinely enjoyed the work assigned and the women in the 87th street office. from Argo to Innova to building football and stadium bleachers I always had fun at work. I was pulled from Factory Motor works for a few days and asked to work at a old assignment, I simply oversleep and that no call no show cost me. I learned a lot and have used that to excel. give them a call and try their night work, their day jobs where a little ....saw no future. but all in all Id go back if I needed to.

Davis Staffing is a very good agency to work for. I Have work for Davis, on and off since, 2005 and they have a good reputation of remembering their employees. I return in 2009, after being layed off form my previous employer of 5yrs. . I call Davis for work and they provided me with a short term assignment that i enjoyed very much. It got slow so the assignments ended . I Enjoyed working wherever Davis sent me to work. I never had a job that was hard,because of all the experience i have and the skills i receive working at the many places Davis sent me to work.

It would very depending on the site, the last site I was assigned to, when I come in I would fill out my logs for the day what parts the operators would run for the day, oversee the machine, I learned how to fix different issues with the machine, my manger would walk around most of day, he was a hard worker, some of my co-workers was lazy, the hardest part was that being there for a year not knowing if they would ever hire me, the most enjoyable part was the other co-works who was very uplifting.

Davis Staffing placed me at jobs that paid more than other temp agencies paid in the south suburbs. They tend to my needs and to the qualifications I already had and looked for jobs for me based on thoughs skills alone. The job was pretty easy loading and unloading trailors and staging order. I enjoyed the hours twelve hour shifts and worked only fourteen days out of the month and got paid overtime every two weeks. Management was great I knew the work already I just had to learn there routine. From 6 am to 6 pm I swept the docks and loaded or unloaded trucks all day. No Complaints.

I worked as a temporary worker for Tower Automotive through Davis Staffing.

It was extremely hot and humid inside the factory, minimum of 66 hours per week on a night shift left me with absolutely no personal life.

The temporary workers were treated like complete garbage, and my manager was a blatant liar.

Definitely not worth the $10 an hour I was paid or even the $13 an hour the actual employees are paid

Typical days would be just working being prepared to work alone or with a partner getting your daily assignments done. The people there are easy to get along with. I learn new things about the plant and different locations of where I can find certain material. co workers are Nice never had a disagreement. the hardest part of the job will be learning something new, but once I have it down it'll take a couple times to perfect. the most enjoyable part would be cleaning the mixers its calming and refreshing.

Davis Staffing was a good temp service for the time I was there. Even if one job didn't work out they would always have another ready for me in the same week. Unfortunately for me I was at the company for a good amount of time and already been to numerous assignments so there was nothing else they can do for me. My job duties included was anything from janitorial work, assembly, packing, and quality control.
