The Agency will say anything to you to get you to work there, what they say to your face means absolutely nothing and could be drastically different to what they say you on the work floor. I was told 4-5 days, 40 hours, 8-hour shifts. that was the deal. What I got was 6 days a week, 10-14 hour shifts, They don't tell you when you are done until the last 15 minutes practically. 

Very dangerous job when throwing cheese, it's not 28 pounds like the bad description tells you. The chunks of cheese are closer to 40-50 pounds of cheese, and you don't lift it frequently, you lift them and toss them and place them and move them around, THE ENTIRE SHIFT. Just a warning, so if you weigh less than 180 and you don't have less than 25% body fat. I got bad news for you. They are also known for hiring very shady people. Very questionable people. 

Cheese gets on the floor a lot, and its hard concrete, so falling headfirst is bad news. The cheese gets waxed and caked onto the floor, and late at night you are forced to wash the floors for a good 3-5 hours, doing this makes the Cheese residue become milky, and this makes the floor stupid slippery. I had bought very good boots for this job and my boots still were not making me safe to walk around in, you will be tired and it will be dangerous, they have some rubber boots for you to wear, However, there are not many. They are much better to use. So you will need Rubber boots that grip really tight straight on wet floors. 

Its back breaking hard work for $14 dollars. If you need fast money and you are very physically in shape, this is an ok option for you. If you are more of a technical worker, look for something else.

I left a permanent position with a company I had been with for 11 years to accept a temp to hire position with IQ Resource Group and couldn't be happier. The recruiter called me and detailed the position out very well, what to expect, the culture of the company, benefits, and went into great detail on how to wage would progress over time. She explained the likelihood of getting hired on to the company versus some other companies in the area. I went to interview with the company and thanks to the recruiter I was prepared and ended up interviewing very well! Not bad for someone who had not interviewed in 11+ years. I had an offer that same day and put in my two weeks notice with my employer. Fast forward a year and I am still with the company I was placed at. Everything the recruiter said as far as expectations and the people working there turned out to be 110% true! 

It is refreshing to work with a temp agency that actually knows the ins and outs of their clients and don't rush to send you to the first job open. I think they really pay attention to what you are looking for and are great matchmakers. Would definitely refer others to use IQ!

I genuinely felt like being employed with IQ Resource Group was a privilege. This was an innovative, fast-paced company that is doing great things to serve and support the population that make up the communities. Always paid close attention of what was being asked of us by the client to ensure we were doing our best to fulfill their request as well as listening to candidates to ensure we were doing the same for them. I worked with some incredible clients and supportive coworkers.  I always felt confident my coworkers would be there for me when I needed them. My supervisors were also very supportive and personable. I loved that our clients and candidates always came first.

If you don't want job security, health insurance, and a living wage this is an excellent place to apply at. The only way benefits are possible is if you only work for corporate or the client they send you to hires you on directly. If your just looking for a temporary income the clients are not to bad to work for but the pay isnt all that great, you would be lucky to get an opening paying more than 10.00/hourly. My advice to anyone who works here, dont just take anything given to you, if you get laid off it will be nearly impossible to get unemployment insurance unless you were making at least 12-13 an hour.

The work is not consistent and the pay doesn't match what it should be. I had a job where I was going to have to have to drive at least a hour or longer every day and this staff knew I had concerns with my vehicle as far as going farther then 30 minutes from my home since I had money issues and my vehicle was already very high on mileage and had concerns about the issues starting to show up with car and then not having wheels eventually because of all the high mile driving weekly. They wouldn't work with me and let me go instead of finding something closer.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great people, very supportive and management really listens to what you say.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing really.   I enjoy coming into work every day and I get to learn new skills.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Casual and fun most of the time.  Everyone really supports each other.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Oversee an office in Coon Rapids, support the team there and work on getting new business.

The staff at IQ actually took the time to ask questions and did in to what would be a great fit v for me.  They didn't just try to throw me I'm the first position they had available they needed a body. The manager there always takes the time to explain things and makes sure you understand What you are bEing offered.  Everyone seems happy and you never feel like you are a bother to anyone when you call.  I think they all real y enjoy their jobs. 

Start work at same time. Always on same project hardly anything new.I did not get to learn anything new. the management was unstable it was always changing. There were friendly and helpful people. The hardest part was always starting at a hot and messy workstation. the good part was the schedule was reliable.

Greeted everyone, set up my work area, was ready for the day. We inspected, counted, strapped and down piled our product. Alternated pallets. We switched sides, throughout the day to give each other a break . Finished orders as they came thru until the end of the shift.

They found me a job quickly. The company I went to was poorly ran,from top to bottom. Rules not followed, the harder you worked,the more you needed to do because coworkers slacked off or dissapeared for long periods. Wasn't sure if getting hired on so took an interview,company found out and fired me.Iq did nothing to intervene or find other work.
