Detroit Quality Staffing

I worked at Detroit Quality Staffing, and my experience was quite disappointing. From the beginning, the job title and responsibilities were not as described. I was not informed that there was no existing IT infrastructure, which made it incredibly challenging to perform my duties effectively.

The company's approach to IT is essentially flying by the seat of their pants with no clear direction. They lack an Active Directory server and do not use proper licensing for their software. It's only a matter of time before they face fines for these practices. Additionally, they have no network infrastructure, no firewall, and no cybersecurity practices in place.

The HR department was disorganized and difficult to work with, lacking the structure necessary to support employees properly. This added to the overall chaotic environment of the company, which consistently felt unprofessional and unmanageable.

Furthermore, there were issues with my compensation, including missing hours on my paycheck. This created further frustration and uncertainty, making it hard to trust the company's management.

Due to these significant issues, I found the role to be a poor fit and ultimately decided to resign. I hope that Detroit Quality Staffing can address these problems to provide a better work environment for future employees.


There was a lot of miscommunication between management at DQS and the employees. A lot of details about the job applied for were unclear. There was barely an interview process. The job I applied for basically required you to have transportation between the different work sites. That wasn't specified. I worked with other DQS new hires that had no personal transportation and had to shuttle them myself because the company neglected to inform them. Management at PVL was disorganized and there were new made up rules for the job every day. Only worked with DQS for a week before the contracted company laid everyone in the same line of work as me off. Got off work today and got a phone call saying there was a "lack of work". The supervisor at the XQ yard at PVL was clueless and ordered his employees around like dogs with no explanation. Would absolutely not recommend. Steer clear if you want a stable job. 

They keep hiring security to locations that are ALREADY overstaffed. You have to get there at least an hour early to even have a chance of staying at your given shift. Site leaders are usually good people, however, those above them at the admin level are completely clueless on how to run this company effectively. They will send you to do car porter work even if you didn't apply for it, simply because they can't keep up with both the high turnover and overstaffing. With the car porters, expect mismanaged and conflicting directions, impatient and aggressive management, rude culture, and overly high expectations for the pay. 
In short, be ready to have a backup job if you take a position here. Management is just awful.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
12hour work shift 4days and fifth day 4.5 hour work day.

They over hire and then send people home an hour in to their shifts. Anyone with any sense of self respect should not work here. All of the managers are rude. They care only about the company. Not about us as employees. Also, they lied about our pay and hours in the interview process. They said our designated work schedule would be Monday- Friday, 10:30pm-6:30am, 40 hours a week plus a $75 stipend per week because of us using our own vehicles. They ended up changing that 2 weeks into me having the job. They then made the schedule Sun-Wed, 630pm-630am, but on Wednesday we would get off at 12:30 am so we weren’t ever getting a 40 hour work week. Also, they said the stipend was $30 a week for good attendance, instead of the $75 we were promised. This company is a terrible place. Work for them at your own risk

Worst company I've ever worked for. They have the lousiest group of managers I've ever come across. Every single day I would arrive to a job site, only to be transferred to another site 20-35 mins away without gas money. They'll force you to drive and if you refuse they'll fire you on the spot. You will definitely gain a lot of wear and tear on your car working here. But what was the ultimate dealbreaker is that they laid off NUMEROUS employees without notice at all. Just showed up at the site to a lot of empty cars, and what did management do? Absolutely nothing. Didn't even reach out. The HR is the worst and practically ghosted the whole team for days instead of communicating. 

Imagine walking into what seems like a promising opportunity, only to realize the foundation is crumbling beneath you. That’s exactly what it’s like working at DQS. Leadership is disorganized, communication is nonexistent, and employees are treated like disposable resources.

They lure you in with promises of growth and opportunity, but once you're inside, it’s clear they have no real plan—or respect for their team. You’re left scrambling to make sense of chaotic processes while management turns a blind eye. It’s like being thrown into a sinking ship with no life raft.

If you value your time, career, and sanity, look elsewhere. There are plenty of companies that actually invest in their employees—this isn’t one of them.

At least, for there security division they were terrible. They have a structure when it’s a site lead and then field supervisors and the company vice president. There is absolutely no communication between the ranks at the company, and due to a lack of hiring process they literally employ almost anyone that will apply. They will even promote people with zero leadership skills or security knowledge into Site Lead and Supervisory positions. They often lose contracts with clients too and give you no notice when it happens unless you call and ask. When you ask they try to get you to switch to car porting instead of security. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay is fair and the environment is easy to do

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The factory can get really heated quickly so make sure you have plenty of water on hand through summer and winter

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
You are always be able to learn something new and your role being there even on a low end employee you can teach other people how to do that job great job would love to work for them again

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Being able to run machines and it is a fun job to do

Different thing each day. Contradicting statements. No clear management. No initial explanation for the role you will be sent to but the work of transporter is simple. Almost NO communication to employees as far as the job is down or not for the day. Show up to work and have to fight basically with other employees just to be able to work that day with many being sent home. Basically a show.
