Helpmates

In a typical day on the job we would walk in proper G.M.P. uniform, disposable lab coats, hairnet and beard covers. At the beginning of the shift the staff and I would have a shift change meeting discussing the process and what was left for us to resume; After, we would set off to our designated rooms to inspect, resume or clean our machines and report any defects or quality issues to our supervisor. After every Lot processed we would fill out our paperwork and turn it all in to the office for review. During my time period there i have gained the experience needed to work in different manufacturing companies including maintenance and repair of machines, forklift operation, QA sampling and much more.
   In the workplace everyone was friendly productive and mostly in about health and safety. However due to demands and many setbacks our departments management have been lacking on safety and more on production speed which in return causes stress made mistakes causing further setbacks.

I answered calls from customers who had major car repair issues and werelooking for assistance with the cost of repairs.or customers who were about to purchase a vehicl and wanted a discount. I learned about various car parts such as a crank case. The management was fine but I think their attendance expectations were unrrealistic. They expected zero absences and tardies. You may be able to get to work on time which can be challenging at times with sudden unannounced lane closures, broken traffic signals, accidents, etc. during the morning commute. It happens and at some point in your career, you will have to be absent due to illness, medical leave, death of a family member, etc.
The hardest part of the job was learning all the car parts. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to completely assist the customer from beginning to end.

I would pick and pack orders before shipping them out. Organize the shelves, put together certain kits for customers and assist customers with their will call orders. 
I learned a few things about fish products and how to assist customers with their will call orders.
The management was very hands on, but not reassuring when it came to advancement questions.
The coworkers were all hardworking, but no one cared much for the work they were doing. 
The hardest part of the job was finding work to do when we were slow.
The most enjoyable part of the job was building the kits. Cutting tubing, applying certain components to the fan and filters.

I worked at this front office for less than a year. It was the most difficult job I ever had. The system they used was the hardest one I ever had to use. The people I helped were mostly NOT in the best of moods.  I took payments and exchange equipment everyday.  But most of the time the people were very angry and upset with their bills. I always understood that.  That company charged very much for their services. I always tried to explain to them their bill and help them in any way I could. But my hands were tied most of the time. My co-workers were not easy to get along with. There was a lot of favoritism specially from management.  Hardest part was of this job was to stay happy, specially after a very difficult and rude customer.  The most enjoyable part of this job was helping someone bring down their debt.  If I could do it I did do it.

I was in charge of the window, which means I was some sort of a receptionist.  I would greet the drivers who were delivering a load. I was the dispatcher who called the coordinators to off load the product.  I was the one who systematically received the product.  I did filing.  As I learned more, I was the one shipping international and domestic product.  I would do UPS and FedEX to ship small packages.  As on my recent job, the culture of the company is safety and deliver in a timely matter. The hard part of the job was that I was only a part time worker, at the time, and I was not allowed to work over time.  The most enjoyable part of the job was my learning process and the people I worked with.

A typical day involved handling clerical and customer support tasks remotely, including answering emails, organizing documents, and assisting clients. I learned how to improve my communication, multitasking, and time management skills while working independently from home. Management was professional and supportive, and the workplace culture encouraged teamwork and productivity even in a remote setting. The hardest part of the job was balancing multiple tasks during busy periods, but it helped me become more organized and efficient. The most enjoyable part was helping customers and working with a team that communicated well and supported each other.

When I first started with Helpmates Staffing, the person working with me for placements was very caring, helpful and interested in my perspective. Ever since that person left Helpmates, no one seems to care. Helpmates has become extremely very hands-off.

I am not ever asked how the job is going, how I am being treated, if I like what I am doing, how are the people, or if I am interested in other career possibilities.

I would not recommend this staffing organization. It seems that many staffing organizations are not very helpful or encouraging---which is a very sad perspective and philosophy for a staffing/placement organization to have.

A typical day at the assignment was stressful, disorganized, and a great example of how not to run a workplace. 
Management and workplace culture were impressive… if the goal was poor communication and zero leadership. Employees are expected to magically figure things out with no training, no SOPs, and no direction.
Overall, the environment lacked structure, communication, and the basic tools needed for employees to succeed, which is likely why the company experiences high turnover across departments.
