Luttrell Staffing Group

I have worked several stints for this company (previously known as @Work Personnel) over the years. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

This is a temporary agency even though they refuse to call themselves that.  You are not guaranteed a job past the day you work.  You can be called at any time and told your assignment has ended.  

You are paid much less than the regular employees at the company you are stationed at.  Even though you stand beside them and not only do the same job but most likely work harder than they do.

Management (the people at the temp agency) are NOT on your side (the employee).  If you have an issue you have to be able to get in touch with them during their office hours.  There is no after hours number.  Sometimes things can happen when you are working 2nd or even 3rd shift and you need to talk to someone.  

You also need to read everything you sign because there is a clause that states (and you have to sign it to move forward) if you quit within 30 days and do not give either a week or a two week notice you will be paid min wage $7.25 an hour for the time you worked no matter what pay you were promised. The company pays them the amount agreed upon so the temp service just keeps the difference for themselves. From what I have been able to find out this is legal if they tell you upfront and you sign the disclaimer agreeing to it. It is on the computer so you either sign it or you do not move forward. And thus cannot complete the hiring process.  So basically you have no choice but to agree to this.  I live in an at-will work state.  It is not contract work and they do not give you a notice before they terminate your assignment.  It is always all about them.

If you have any issues and you call them -  they say well you have to work or do whatever the employer you are stationed at says.  I have been asked to do things that were dangerous.

Most times what you are told the job will be and the hours you are told are totally incorrect.  I have worked more than one assignment over the years and very rarely is what they tell you the way things actually are.  I guess they have to lie to people to get them to take the assignment.

I def would not recommend working for this company.  They have their picks.  I saw a girl who was released from more than one assignment for missing 1-2 days of work EVERY WEEK.  And they bend over backward to give her the best and easiest jobs they can find.

As soon as I can find something else in a permanent position - I am gone!

Pay varies by job.  I have seen everything from the federal min wage $7.25 an hour to around $15 an hour depending on the job. But they pick what jobs they want to offer you. 

You also will be drug tested (in their office drug test) before EVERY assignment. 

And lastly, all over time is forced.  You can sign the paper in the temp service office that says NO I am not available for over time.  But if you go to the job and they want you to work it you have no choice.  If you do not show up for OT days or stay for OT hours it is counted against you and most likely you will be released.  

Be sure to keep a copy of the paper they give you with the job details.  You will be given one to take to the employer.  Either make a copy yourself or ask them to make a copy for you to keep for your records.  Keep copies of EVERYTHING! Even time cards.

I worked as a staffer, started out in Abingdon office and worked there for 1 year (June 2018-June 2019). I was transferred to the Bristol office due to the company losing a major client for that office. My manager(s) and co-workers in Abingdon were awesome. We helped each other out and it felt like a work family more then just co-workers.  I expected the same to come from the Bristol office and welcomed it with open arms.Each office covers different regions and has different customers but it seemed that If i asked about a specific client more then once it seem to aggravate some of them and would tell me to look in the client files for more information (though most of those hadn't been updated in years). The Branch manager who was there when I arrived was amazing, she truly cared for all her employees and always valued our opinions. She was promoted to Regional Manager for another district and one of our Senior Managers was promoted to be the new branch manager. Although she was nice enough and tried to treat everyone equally, the favoritism was obvious. There were two new hires that had been there less than a year, one had started in May and the other didn't start until October. When COVID-19 hit, we took a great hit when client companies were shutting down or freezing orders and couldn't support 5 staffers; the staffer who  started in May was laid off, but the staffer who started in October wasn't (she was an old friend of the branch manger so maybe that was a reason, or maybe she was paid a lot less then the other staffers). I was the one laid off in her place. Our regional manager and branch manager stood there and  tried their best to avoid eye contact as I cried in the office when they told me the news, never once offering any kind of sympathy for my situation. They said it would be a 2 week layoff but to prepare for it be longer. I was laid off temporarily for 2 months and not once did any of them reach out to me to see how I was doing (although the Branch manger tried to make it a point on a daily basis that we are "FAMILY") . I had more contact with the Abingdon office than my new team (I had been there 9 months already). I was told via email, something we don't even do with our associates , that I was permanently laid off, when I spoke to the regional manager and the Chief Of Operations they basically said the decision wasn't based on seniority or performance but cost related. I guess me making $14/hr was too much for them to pay?
I honestly thought this company would be the one I would retire from, I always did my best to be on time, help others with anything they needed, if I needed to stay over  because an associate couldn't be there before we closed I didn't mind, never had any written or verbal warnings.  But when it got down to it, I was just a number and I guess my hard work and experience didn't matter. There is a lot more that went behind the scenes and issues in that office, but I'm not trying to slander or make a review about about  how bad the in office dynamic was. In the end, this review may just seem like just another disgruntled employee trying to make them look bad. 

Look no further for the BEST opportunities in the area! Luttrell Staffing Group meets the needs of many types of companies from construction to industrial, customer service and clerical, and so much in between! As a staffing coordinator, I'm on the other side of most of these reviews. Outside of my "professional opinion", my personal opinion is this - when looking for temporary work, you won't find more down-to-earth staff anywhere else to prepare you for your new potential career path. I've learned so much over the past ~2 years I've been with this company. I, myself, particularly love the part of my job when I have an employee call me telling me how thankful they are for the opportunity I provided to them. However, even when my employees tell me the opposite, that the job they were assigned to just doesn't work for them, I don't take that personally. I take that and work to find another opportunity for them that better fits their needs. Some of this work just isn't for every one. Believe me when I say my temps work for their money, just as I do. If you're ready to work and show up every day for some GREAT opportunities, come and see us!

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5)

I had a very disappointing experience with Luttrell Staffing Group. The management is absolutely terrible, with a clear lack of leadership and communication. You’re treated like just another number here—there’s no regard for your well-being or personal life. They only care about pushing as much work onto you as possible without offering any support. It’s all about how much money they can make off of you, and they micromanage every step you take.

The pay is poor, especially considering the workload they expect from you. It often feels like they’re more focused on tracking your every move than actually helping you succeed. On top of that, they have a troubling history with the Department of Labor, and there have been reports of discriminatory behavior towards individuals with different beliefs from the ownership. This company’s values are questionable at best, and I would strongly advise against working with them. Save yourself the frustration and find a more respectful and supportive workplace.

Needs a more direct phone system with automated answers to keep call volumes down.
Needs to use resources that are available for the staffing industry in today's time.
Luttrell is filled with amazing and kind people.
However, it is behind in times.
LSG Needs to put their focus back on their employees and less on reports.
A lot of micromanagement and favoritism exists in the company.
You will enjoy the role, however it is easy to get burnout and triggered by things that shouldn't matter at the end of the day.
It was once a family oriented and friendly place to be, but as time and the economy changes post covid happened, unless you are coming into a high up corporate position, be prepared to work for a pay that does not reflect your efforts and the higher management not to have a clue what it takes to staff directly in person and in an office setting with minimal help.

Working at Luttrell Staffing Group has been an incredible experience that has significantly contributed to my personal and professional growth. From day one, I have always felt valued, and the company has consistently provided me with all the tools and support I need to succeed in my role.

The company culture is exceptional, characterized by a strong sense of teamwork and a genuine willingness among colleagues to help one another. This positive and collaborative environment has made it easy for me to thrive and continuously improve my skills.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others every day. Being part of a team that helps individuals find employment and achieve their career goals brings a profound sense of fulfillment to my work.

I am grateful for my time at Luttrell Staffing Group and look forward to continuing to grow and make a difference within this incredible organization.

Recieved in person interview after phone interview. I was very excited at the opportunity. I show up, dressed, on time, and prepared to an empty  closed office (This is before Covid). I waited 30 minutes out of courtesy to potential real life emergencies. No one showed up, I recieved no calls 

I followed up with multiple calls that day and over the following weeks, leaving messages that were not returned. I expressed my eagerness to help them, if they were having difficulties.

A month later I see another sales position available from Luttrell. I call and get through to the same person who no-showed my interview. I explain my experience with courtesy. They apologe and agree to follow up with me later due to covid 19.. and again never come through with any sort of connection.

This lack of follow through with the ammount of understanding for any real life emergencies I gave  is simply unacceptable. 





What is the best part of working at the company?
The management that is no longer with the company. The one that is now in management is the main reason company employees and temporary staff left.  Owners and managers think they are better than temporary staff and the companies the staff. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having to tip toe around the religious beliefs of the people of Corporate even though they sign contracts with companies that work on Sundays. They write staff up if they have to deal with issues on a Saturday. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Extremely cut throat but make it appear "Christian"

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Wondering who was going to be arguing, who corporate was going to be mad at, etc...

Since starting with this company as a part-time temporary Administrative Assistant in 2017 I have been brought on full- time and promoted 4 times and I am now a Business Development Manager. This will be the company I retire from. This company stands by it's values with its internal staff, clients and associates. Never in my life have I worked for a company this size (over 40 offices in the US) and the owner knows everyone by name- that is until working for Luttrell Staffing. They treat you like family- the leadership and management are all wonderful. I am always given the guidance, support and encouragement I need. I could go on and on about all the wonderful things this company and my coworkers have done for me along the way! This company is AMAZING!!!

I was forced to resign after working for 2 months with zero issue. However, after I informed a representative of the company that I have been having boxes falling on my head, I requested to leave early and was advised to bring back a doctors note. Well when I returned to work with a doctors note, I was called into the main office and told that I “didn’t follow protocol” and that my birth injury was a liability to the company, despite the fact I reported the incident to several higher up employees. I highly advise against working with this company.
