Exact Staff

If you work at Exact Staff be prepared to be underpaid and to take on a workload that far exceeds your job responsibilities. With over 30 offices, somehow the company has not created a comprehensive training program yet they expect each office to operate the same as the main office in urban California. The company will do whatever they can to cut costs, whether it’s opening an understaffed office to assigning you tasks outside of your job role. Smaller offices also have to work MUCH harder to receive resources that are available for the entire company - the main office is reluctant to send printed marketing materials, office supplies, or other needed resources - you may have to email Niko (from HQ) every day for weeks before getting a response, then wait even longer for the supplies to be sent and shipped. It took me 3 months to receive my business cards after starting. If task overload and being underfunded aren’t bad enough - the management is horrible. In a small office be prepared to work without an office manager (another way to cut costs) but instead report to a manager in a different hours hours or states away. Because every office operates differently due to lack of training, expect your assigned “helper” to clash with your training often. After my office lost our first trainer we were assigned another from a different state. We required entire retraining. During that time, I left the company. The trainer, who was visiting our office for a couple days to reorganize, showed up to my mother’s house less than an hour after I’d left to collect the work laptop that I said I’d return the next morning. My family was caught off-guard as they were unaware of what happened - I had only just arrived home and had no chance to say anything before she showed up. It was the most aggressive unprofessional treatment I’ve ever experienced. The employee faced to consequence. Beware of this company. You will not be paid a fair wage, you will not have the necessary resources to successfully fulfill your job role, and you’ll work alongside unprofessional, untrained management.

Everything about this job was way to easy. Was looking forward to staying with this company for some time. Unfortunately what ever you do don't get sick. Today I called them to explain I wasn't going to make it in because I felt really sore . Got a call about a few hours later asking why I didn't call in or show up. I explained the person how I did call in but couldn't remember the gentlemen name well the lady said OK and we ended the call. Well next thing I know I am getting called back and being informed that my job assignment would be ending. When I asked why the lady tried to tell me it's because of my attendance even though everytime I was there I showed up early and the one day I called out I get let go for a legitimate reason. Then she tried to say it was because they tried to accommodate my schedule so many times. I had a doctors appointment through the VA and even handed paper work showing that I did. Which was two weeks in advance then they kept switching my schedule on me and tried to say it was to accommodate me when the 6 times it was switched within 3 weeks of working there only once did I ask if my schedule could be adjusted so I made sure to catch the bus which it was moved by 30 mins. The other 5 times my schedule was switched it was to fit there needs. Sad part is I really looked forward to continuing working with them until today. Every day I worked I made sure to bust my hump for them to be repayed like this.

I would start my day by clocking into work 3pm 5 days a week then going threw a metal detector to make sure i have no electronics on me get into a big group circle with coworkers then wait for one of leads to call out the workout. Then we would be assigned to a duty such as LCD monitors RCT (TV's) or we would have to do E-Waste Material my it just depends on how many people they needed in each area that day based off of work, i've done all the duties but my main job was E-Waste. I would start it off by grabbing a pallet jack go looking for boxes with the most weight on it because you would have to do up to 7,500 pounds of work in the E-Waste section a night grab all my tags make sure I got at leaf 2500 pounds worth of work by break time at 5pm. Come back from break grab another 2500 or up to 3000 pounds of work try to finish it before lunch time at 7:30pm then come back from lunch break at 8pm do exercises again with my coworkers grab the rest of my boxes or material with the most weight to get up to 7500 pounds of work if I'm able to finish that before are last break which was at 10pm I would come back from break then do extra work i have done up to 9,000 pounds of work. The way they kept up with how much weight we bringing in they would have a sticker tag on the box or material to show how mcuh that pallet weighed out and keep up with your work like that we would work until 11:30pm then go home.

I've learned that slavery has upgraded its' practices by masking as a temp agency within a company like Exact Staff. A typical day at work involves the hiring staffer complaining of having to speak with individuals who are actively searching for employment, but only hire individuals who are of a specific race/creed. 

The hardest part of the job was having to work within an environment that prided itself on having open communication with its employees' but turned around to utilize the information gained as a tool of submission and degradation. In addition, the toughest part of the job was having to endure sexist treatment from several co-workers/higher management who dismissed women who were forward thinking and capable. They also utilized racist ideologies within their hiring practices, by continuously speaking about the working staff in a demurring manner without a thorough evaluation of an individual's skill and qualification. Working staff had to endure standing to eat their lunch in a confined space that could only fit 20 people, but having a staff of a 100 plus, I witnessed individuals packed like sardines in a can just to take a 30min lunch and return to working long hours and then expected to "hit weight."

I applied for a Business Development position that Exact Staff had open in their Elkton, MD location.  After an initial interview, they seemed to like me and see my abilities.  They asked me if I would come in for a half day to shadow the current Business Development Manager which I did.  We went out on the road so I could see how she goes about talking with the local businesses about their staffing needs, etc.  I really liked her and thought that day went well.  Then someone from HQ in CA called me and I was asked to come back again to shadow the BDM in the office for another half day.  They even told me they would pay me for that time and had me fill out a time card, etc.  I thought this process was going well and was sure that they would not have gone through all of that with me if they did not feel I was a strong candidate.  Next thing I knew I called as a follow up and was told by the BDM that they were not moving forward with me at that time.  There was no explanation as to why.  On top of that they never paid me for those 8 hours they said they would.  

I have since dealt with another staffing agency that treats me with respect and understands and values my experience and capabilities.   For me, this was a very unpleasant experience.

Start with bags, getting them ready for the flowers to be placed inside then in to a flower pot then into the shipment box.
Then we go through each bouquet we receive, cut the stalks to length asked, and make sure all flowers are healthy, beautiful and ready to go.
Flowers are sorted by flower/bouquet type, size,/stalk length, and store.
Then the area worked in is cleaned up, empty boxes are organized and sent to recycling area.
Afterword, setup is required, to start on flower bouquet arrangement by hand.
We work as a group, and as a team. Supervisors are always available to help, and in case we have questions.
Then we work as a team to make sure all newly created bouquets are proper, have all flowers/plants, look nice, and are ready to be sent off.
Finally, the area is cleaned, and ready for the next day.

The hardest part of the job is the temperature. Some days it is manageable, some days it is too cold. But, it is manageable. And, the company always carries extra sweaters on hand, just in case.

The most enjoyable part, is seeing all the beautiful arrangements come together. And, being able to smell flowers all day.

First off THEY OFFER NO TRAINING even though they say they do! This comes from a managerial perspective. Horrible and greedy  company, they have HUGE turnover in their sales and recruiting department. Employees get treated like objects and once they're used and abused, they let them go. All the way from the Managers to the CEO of the company. Upper management always emphasizes on negativity and never on the positives. The Rancho office looks like a storage center, very uncoordinated filing system and discrmianatory procedures. All of the recruiters are miserable, and the CEO only cares about the money and billing of the office. Just all around horrible workplace environment. If you get a chance to interview with them and they tell you that they're like a "Nordstrom's" of staffing... its nothing but lies so I would run for the hills.

I worked with exact staff for two years while working in California and I would recommend them for people who are in a rush to get to work or looking for temporary jobs while looking for a steady career. You may not like all the jobs you get but the agents are generally flexible with helping you and with assisting you in finding work. While I personally do not, for example, I met many employees who had histories with smoking weed and were very kindly assisted with agents with advice on how to go forward with finding work in their positions. Exact staff is helpful in assisting you in finding work and in moving forward with your career, I started out expecting temp work and eventually found warehouse work that I intended to stay in, I only left because of a family emergency that unfortunately required me to move states.

I enjoyed working with people as a team to achieve the work. I worked the 4 day 10 hr shift...Target could have improved the environment by making a bit more support and recognition to employees.  The culture is poor at best for the temporary employees as they are treated as second class workers.  Some of the managers/supervisors are rude and it takes very little for an employee to be dismissed.  There is very little recognition for people doing their best.  The work teams are often fractured by the Supervisors playing favorites.  The temp workforce works under the threat that they could loss their at any moment.  The Exact Staff does very little to back their workers up.

My day would begin with running the reception area, which included answering and transferring calls, assisting the Worker's Comp. dept. as well as the Staffing Supervisors, pre screening potential associates, and answering any customer service questions and emails throughout the day.

I learned how to recruit new hires that were qualified for avilable positions.

I learned how to manage my time accordingly as far as different projects I was working on. 

My co-workers were the best people ever. They were always quick to help me when I had any questions.

The most enjoyable part of my job had to be when people would come into apply for a position and would walk out with a job. 
The expression on their face was the best part.
I felt as we were providing excellent community service.

I love to help people!
