LSI Staffing

There are unrealistic expectations placed on the recruiters throughout the company. They are underpaid compared to other companies and lack a work/home balance. Area manager delegates extra work to employees and takes full credit for the work to gain the approval of the owners, including taking credit for the recruitment and training of some internal hires. Area manager isn't present and is allegedly “torn between offices”, “working from home" or  "too busy for 1 on 1 meetings with employees" which results in employees not feeling valued or properly trained. There is no excuse whatsoever for an "area manager" to not be present in each branch at least 3 full business days in a 2 week period-Pure laziness. Management expects all employees to think the same and puts employees down that think differently than them. Great leaders think differently, so that is a horrible example to follow. Praise is rarely given for a job well done. Management states that there is audio throughout the offices as a scare tactic. Vast amounts of information is verbally exchanged throughout the offices and anyone who knows state laws knows this isn’t true. Area manager also takes part in office gossip, manipulation, lies and backstabbing, in addition to a great deal of pinning employees against one another. Not a good look for an area manager and very unprofessional. One can’t scare employees into loyalty. It is earned, and quite frankly, doesn't work on everyone. There is proof that management tolerates and encourages discriminating practices. Recruiters hit the glass ceiling once receiving office manager title which is additionally underpaid for the amount of duties involved. There is no decent growth within this company.

LSI has great management and was understanding that life happens as long as you are informing them weeks in advance they also communicate with your supervisor and accommodate your needs, you are given 3 points and it’s a temporary job for 3 months and you can get a job offer through Smithfield after your 3 months.  I liked this option because I didn’t know if I would like working at Smithfield and wasn’t sure if it was right for me.  It was easy catching on to the schedule and breaks and the first month was the most difficult for me because I was getting use to standing for 8-10 hours a day, the jobs are repetitive and can cause you to be sore and uncomfortable they have a nurse that will take care of your needs.  Smithfield requires you to stretch before your shift begins and I liked this also.  I was hired on through Smithfield after my three month probation with LSI. I enjoy working at Smithfield and like my supervisor and coworkers.

They are pretty nice, respectful and usually helpful. Their main objective is to get you a job. The job matches your skills. They set you up for sucesss

This company does not help when you get hurt on the job even when it is not your fault. I had to get a lawyer to make them pay for hospital and doctor fees.  The company kept having me come to the main office and sit in the pretense that they were working on getting me a light-duty position. The company lied and said that I was temporary when my contract with the company clearly showed that I was a permanent first-line manager. courts had to make this company settle with me. The supervisor told me that I was not sick and that they were not going to pay me so I had better get out of the bed and come to work. The company ended up having to pay because there was a raggedy pallet loaded with empty boxes that caught my shoe that I fell over. 

I stayed in pain 6 months before the company would even answer my attorney.

Owner is great! He is faith based and believes in helping others. He allows employees to be themselves in order to do the job to help others. He is very encouraging. We do work long, hard hours there but its beneficial to know you've helped others get a job. The customers are great. I had the opprotunity to meet some great applicants and place them on some great opprotunities. I worked with people in the local drug court program. I was able to find them employment when other places could not. They were very greatful and hugged us and it just made my day. The customers we staffed for were awesone. I got to meet some of them and help with their staffing needs. When i left i was called and told by them how wonderful i was to their staffing needs and they were sad to see me go.wonderful opportunities.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
First thing we have meetings to get our assignments for the day....talk safety  and time line of expected completion of our assigned project.

Agency sends you to jobsites where there is no training, disorganized, unprofessional and disrespectful management and leads. Mandatory overtime regardless of your personal life. Most jobsites have no concern for your safety,  no work life balance, excessive turnover, shortage of workers: most locations the ratio is 5% staffed employees and 95% temporary workers...  Caution as to whether you really want to work there..  Being told by jobsite that if you don't want to work then leave now.... If you cannot do the work (pregnant) then you need to leave.... Discriminatory towards temporary staff, reflecting favortism, deceitfulness and causing discord with others in addition to low pay in mostly sweat shop environments... STAY CLEAR OF THIS AGENCY....

Rude, unprofessional and uncommunicative recruiters in a dirty office. They'll send you to unsafe places with high heat, no ventilation, and where you're forced to wear heavy clothing in that environment. They lie about not having other open positions and accuse you of having a bad attitude if you point out that you heard them tell somebody else that dozens of other, similar positions are available. Even the client I was sent to said they were not impressed with their lack of communication.

While the jobs you may be sent to have nice professional teams, the staffing agency team is highly inappropriate and unprofessional.  You are treated like a number or a quota.  There is a lack of professional decorum, they ask standardized questions instead of really getting to know you and your qualifications.  They talk over you with other agents, look at their text messages and answer the phone during your interview, and dress unprofessionally.  I am so glad I was able to find a job on my own, instead of something  through this agency.
