Elite Staffing Inc

I went to Elite Staffing looking for clerical positions. I took the test and they told me my score was the highest they had ever seen, yet it took them more than a year to find me a job (even though plenty were available). Every time I emailed my resume to someone, they would just forget about it. I would call the next day and their receptionist would ask me, "Oh...you wanted us to send that along?" Um, YES! Isn't that the only reason your company exists?

When they finally DID find me a job, they didn't bother to get any of the information on it. They told me the company was looking to hire someone permanently (the HR manager of that company told me he didn't know why they would say that because he had directly told him he wanted a temp and nothing more). They also told me the job title was completely different (they told me I would be working exports, but I would up being the receptionist). They also told me the wrong pay grade--they told me $15/hr, it was only $9/hr. 

I also had problems actually getting paid. I would fax them my time sheet and they would lose it--constantly. WEEKS would go by and I wouldn't receive a paycheck. I finally sent them an email informing them that state law says that every day they are late with my check, no matter the excuse, they owe me interest. They never responded, but they finally started paying me on time. When I had trouble with the company I worked for (they violated the terms of my contract in so many ways), I couldn't rely on Elite Staffing to stick up for me, which is just about the only perk of being a temp. If I called them for any reason, they either wouldn't answer the phone, wouldn't return my messages, or would "accidentally" drop the call. Completely unreliable. These are some of the LAZIEST people I have ever met in my life.

A few months after I quit working for them, another temp agency (ManPower, which is WAY better) got me a job at a company right across the street from Elite Staffing's office. They came in one day asking to speak to my boss, but they had the wrong name. When I told him that the person they wanted no longer worked there (and I gave them the correct name), they told me I was wrong and demanded to speak to the person they were looking for. Excuse me? Do you NOT think I would know my own boss's name? They then tried to tell me I should convince my boss to cancel his contract with ManPower so he could hire Elite Staffing temps. He got a good laugh out of that one.

The hardest part of my job is dealing with various people from all over the region. Everyone has a different attitude and it can get hectic sometimes. A typical day at work is hot and your constantly moving. There is ALWAYS something to do in a warehouse. Whether you are on the assembly line moving your hands and producing or if there is down time, there is always something that could be cleaned or do re work. I love it because I stay busy and get to meet new people almost daily. I've learned to be more patient and considerate of other people from different areas and walks of life. Although there are the few who do not come to work to actually work but they weed themselves out eventually. The down fall of working for Elite Staffing is they do not pay very well. Considering the work conditions, work load, expectations on the job and you do not have the sense of work stability they should offer more money even if your a line worker. It would motivate more people to come to work and stay. Example: you work for a contracted company for 3 months and get all the required hours in, never miss a day of work, performance levels are high etc.. BUT you are not necessarily going to get hired on to company even though your skills are what they want. This type of instability is scary to say the least considering we are all adults trying to survive in a dog eat dog world. Otherwise the work is not hard. My motto work smart not hard.

I worked in the Menasha Factory in Edwardsville, IL via Elite Staffing and they literally treat you like a slave. The supervisors are unprofessional in the factory often coming under the influence or having inappropriate discussions. The pay is only 8.25 an hour for line workers and 9.00 an hour for the line leaders who are primarily on a power trip. Duties will vary daily and sometimes every few hours depending on the day. Unless you get in on a line where you are able to request an "easy" job this job is very labor intensive with a high demand volume. The factory is not at all designed for comfort you are standing for 10-12 hours on concrete floors in the summer its 10-15 degrees hotter inside. You must ask permission to blow your nose, use the restroom, or walk off the line even if you have broken a bone or you may DNR'd aka terminated. This job is like a plantation or penitentiary filled with slave drivers/wardens who want you to get as much product out as fast as possible and breaks are only 20 minutes (2 in a day) 30 minutes for lunch. You may have to lift and run with 30 lb boxes of products about 1000 or so for a 12 hour shift or carry pallets 20 feet back and forth. All these things you will experience the first week and their on IF you are selected to get on a line because unless the supervisors from the office are present the line leaders pick friends, relatives, etc.

Most jobs require manual labor including moving pallets of products, lifting at least 30 lbs frequently and assembly of food product (depending on the work location, my placement was in Peacock Engineering which was a food manufacturer/packer).
Management was mostly friendly, understanding and willing to accommodate. Some of the newer managers lacked a sense of responsibility for their own actions or lack of understanding necessary to properly perform their jobs and might take out their frustrations on employees who were otherwise doing their jobs adequately.
Most co-workers are Hispanic so being bilingual is almost necessary to properly work with and understand your coworkers.
Hardest part of the job was keeping up with the sometimes demanding physical labor over the usual 9-10 hour work day.
The most enjoyable was when the work went smoothly, everyone would joke around and the work-floor was lively.

You report to work in the morning..Firs thing is see what machines youve been assigned to run then you go and try to find paper work which is nonexistant.It is interesting to learn different things here and there.Enjoy coworkers.management is in desperate need of replacing.hardest part of the job is the chaoticness and unorganization of it all and management walks thru as if its someone elses fault.cant speak of other supervisors but first shift supervisor has gotten way to comfortable and needs to be rotated as he is in no way helpful-EVER.Could be a descent place to work if they would get caught up with the times,quit wasting money on foolish projects,Pay us a lil more(10.00 an hour) this is 2013!!!Get All new management.They dont have basic things that are needed for a company to survive..Osha should be called in as this facility would fail an assesment!

Overall
My experience working at Elite Staffing Inc. I wish I. URL’s have grown to help people get jobs there it seem they use them as numbers and not human beings it was difficult getting attached with colors they just watched to please Hr and numbers and not help the withers the seemed the empowerment

I start at 6am or 630am, sometimes 7am, but I have to be there no later than 5:15 or 5:30am in hopes to get picked for the day. If so Im placed on a partciular line to work, so whatever time my card says I start. Thats when your line lead wants you on the floor to appoint what your specific job is for the day. Management comes around and scans you in, in case the time clock doesnt work properly. Break when they say break, (15min) and sometimes employees are back before the line leads. Work again on whatever you were working on before break, helping co-workers if need be and receiving help if someone feels up to it. Then you're sent to lunch, (30min.) comeback and assist the team in completing the assignment. Depending upon how much your team accomplishes you may finish and go home early or help out with another line until it is officially quitting time. Clean-up clock out and go home.

Elite staffing Is a joke. The management bullies the underdogs. They don’t properly train you what to so ever. They just throw you out there and expect you to know how to do your job. Every time you ask for help it goes un-noticed. Then you receive a project on the thing you asked help for days later. They set you up for failure. Your upper management does not have your back what so ever and will actually make your equals do their dirty work for them, they will talk about you behind your back and you’re equals will know things about you and your job they shouldn’t have the privilege to.  I honestly don’t understand how this company is still making it and making more contracts. Literally they worst and most unprofessional, hostile work environment I’ve ever worked in. 

Work starts at 2:30, we have a meeting to discuss, how we did the previous night and to give us our departments work schedule so we knew what to build for the night. After the meeting, I go into the clean room, and i get work sheets for the night that keep count of all the building of material for the that we need to build the item on our schedule, after that i get a clutch from a box take off any caps that may be on the clutch and I put a hose into one end of the clutch and the other into a slave which is where some of the hydraulic fluid goes when the pressure is being put inside of the clutch after I place the clutch into the machine. After the machine finishes its cycle, I take the clutch out and then I proceed to put the clutch back into it's necessary box. Once done with that I repeat the process. Management is okay, and the best part is getting to work with my friends.
