Forge Industrial Staffing

I do not feel they inspect the places you are assigned to work prior to placement let alone work the jobs that the temporary employees are put in for a full shift to actually see what the job is and what the conditions actually are. A lot of these places are a health hazard or practice things not conducive to your health or physical well being and basically unless you challenge them - they do nothing. If you bring up things in violation - you quickly find that you are terminated from the assignment.  I also feel that maybe Forge may be deceptive in the work order details that they relay to you prior to accepting the job placement.  I feel they know some key points, yet do not relay them to you prior to job placement.  I do not feel they protect your identity - Forge allows some of their clients to have person information about you as if you work directly for that client which is not applicable until the client actually offers you a position directly & you accept. HR violations. I do not feel that they have respect for their employees. The clients in which Forge Industrial Staffing services do not have respect for the temporary employees nor their time and families.  It is proven in the salary & the hours they demand you to work or risk losing your assignment which are not disclosed to you prior to accepting the assignment placement. Most often times there are language barriers that are taken advantage of... Sometimes the work is not steady & sometimes the demand for your time is implemented without consulting you or considering your other obligations. Work to live not live to work.

I enjoyed my time with coworkers at Forge. Upper management and ownership is lacking. The owners can be nice but they have no desire to take their time to get to know you or be a true leader. Their leadership skills are awful and demeaning. You have very high expectations but when things are beyond your control like the job market, you are blamed for it. When things are slow because of the job market, you are told the numbers are not good enough or too late on even trying to increase your numbers. This is all you are to Forge. A number. There is no training or any positive support. Sales and operations are not equal. There is a higher expectation for operations and are treated differently than sales. Sales department can do whatever they want with no repercussions. It's always operations fault. Sales department continues to think no one but them does their job. There is no direction from the Sales Director. She's too busy having lunches with friends or shopping every day and lacks any understanding about the sales or operations department. Operations is understaffed and works exhaustive hours without any thank you or recognition. Just increase your billing numbers! 

Advice to owners; invest in your employees. They are your most dedicated people. Invest into better benefits. Invest into management to successfully build your company instead of always making derogatory comments that we are not going enough. Without your employees, your company is nothing.

My typical day would be going to one of our Top Customer's as an Onsite rep for the first half of my day - I process payroll for approximatley 60-70 contract labor associates and do general office tasks. Plant Supervisors deal directly with me to place orders for any contract labor, as needed. The second half of my day would be back at the main office to maintain the current I9's for all active employees, run and work weekly reporting for Work Authorization ID's and most importantly, I would be responsible for recruitment of contract labor associates for several Customer's. I have learned payroll, running background checks, verifying Social Securty and overall how to recruit a quality employee for a company. The hardest part of my postiion and why I'm looking for another position, is that the recruiting becomes top priority and if you're normal scheduled to leave @ 5pm and then an order comes in that would require you to stay, I would typically need to stay until 8pm or 9pm and assist in filling the order. This is not a problem for me when it is every so often, however due to loss of staff in our office location and the heavy flow of order, this has been almost an every day situation and I do not want to continue to work 9-12 hour days. I like my job and I'm very good at it, however I'm not able to keep the pace that is being required of me.

Not only was the work place full of drama, but there was so much favoritism it was ridiculous. There were days when there was nothing to do at all so we would be wrapping rubber bands around rulers or restocking the same posters just to "look" busy. To this day I still have no clue who my actual manager was and one of the "heads" had zero people skills and was extremely obnoxious. He had zero respect for any of the workers there and didn't care if put the fork lift drivers at risk. There was no communication, EVER, everyone was pretty much left to their own vises. hardly any teamwork  took place ( we only had team tasks) no one ever got hired on and people would get fired just because. The pay was only 7.25 no weekends were worked and Ot was like every blue moon ( from what i was told). The turn over rate was astonishing. The entire company could careless and was extremely careless when it came to paychecks. It was a job for those with criminal records because there were a lot of papers ankle bracelets so in that sense that was plus because they weren't denied employment. The most enjoyable part of the job was going home.

A typical day at work: recruiting people that either call or come in office. Super busy between phones and people in lobby. Management watches through cameras and will get upset if you even take 5 minutes of downtime. Workplace culture: Environment is super toxic. If you are a hard worker, the lazy ones will take advantage of that but still get promoted. A lot of petty, gossip, clique behavior. Barely any sick days or time off. They aren’t very caring when it comes to family issues. You get 3 points if you miss a day and don’t have time off, 12 points you’re fired. Makes it impossible to enjoy time off for the year if you get sick. Makes it impossible actually. Management: You are either good friends with corporate or not. Don’t be a whistleblower and call out bad behavior they will hate you. Pay was ok but being understaffed means you’ll be on call super often so the work life balance isn’t there. You’re just a number pushing for numbers. 
What I believe I learned: that you’re just a number and the lazy ones always win.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I won't detail alot here due to each place being so different in experiences. That's all completely up to alot of circumstances. So I will leave this unsaid.

Forge Industrial Staffing is a fast paced environment where critical thinking is the normal when it comes to being a Service Coordinator. Everyday there is a something new to learn whether its handling sensitive information, communicating with clients, assisting service associates or simply being a team player. Great work environment for developing communication, time management, organization, and leadership skills. Co-workers are like family and each are unique bring something something different to the team. The hardest part about the job is being able to consistently micromanage when the office can become extremely busy but its rewarding. The most enjoyable part of the job are the different people you meet.

I have enjoyed my time at Forge as they have consistently provided me with a work experience that was fulfilling and progressive. I was taught skills that have become very valuable within my line of work including: how to operate machinery such as forklifts, clamp trucks and stand up pickers. I learned great skills on how to properly work within a group of individuals working on the same project in the most effective way possible. Coordinating a chain of command and executing the planned task within the desired time frame and was highly succeful and respected within our department of shipping and receiving.

I would not recommend for staffing for anyone but if you want a job that I pay you the same week that you work or if you work Wednesday the following Wednesday you will have a paycheck if that's all you looking for perfect place to work but if you are looking for stability honesty that is not the place to go to forge is terrible with working with their people you do what Forge want you to do or you don't work they'll tell you that a job is in one place and you find out the job somewhere else then when you tell them you can't go out there or you don't have a way to go out there or you don't want to work out that way they get upset with you take you off the roster put you in as a no show no call just a terrible place to work management is no good
