Started out well, ended terribly. If you like to have your image nit picked daily, awful management, negative and inappropriate emails from the VP, being encouraged to not take your lunch break or to work during your lunch, dealing with criminals on a daily basis, atrocious attitude from the staff, being thrown into the job with no training and they expect you to know everything even though they said they’d train you and when you have questions they all act like your being a bother or that you need to figure it out on your own when you’ve never been tought that company specific origin and then get in trouble for not doing something specifically there way even though you asked how to do that ! terrible co workers who want to be managers so bad and try to micromanage you but aren’t managers and will try to do everything against you then this job is totally for you!! They advertise all these “great” aspects about the job before hire but when you actually start is when all the You know what comes out and there’s a ton of it. Good bye work life balance, they expect you to eat sleep and breathe their company it’s actually pretty funny, you’ll be doing a “recruit” event and staying till 8pm atleast once or twice a month but you might also have to work the “weekend” shift and answer calls from people till 8pm from 7am ON THE WEEKEND and this job advertises NO WEEKENDS OR LATE NIGHTS HAHAHA. The work culture it’s embarrassing, you don’t even have time to cook dinner or take care of yourself majority of the time! Who cares if you miss a call here and there, you can return it you’d think right? No haha, you must pick up every single phone call within 3 rings and even if another call comes in at the same time you stop the call your in the middle of and answer the other one! Also it’s in the handbook to never “announce” calls, so you can’t tell the person who it is on the phone before transferring them lol, Don’t forget to send out an email that you forwarded your phones because you’ll have to go back to the office to do so! I mean seriously why do you need to answer phone from 7AM-8PM M-Sunday? That’s insane. Guess what? You worked a whole 9 hour shift and a “help order” comes in at the very end of the day, you’re staying late until you help fill that order because even though the person received it within plenty of time to fill that order they still decided to send it out last minute and there’s nothing you can do about it! They don’t tell you that! The amount of work with the salary is disgusting, not enough at all. Also make sure you write in a “message” documenting every single thing you do because if not or
You forget to they think your not doing anything at all lol and when you prove to them you were indeed working during the time not “documented” they have nothing to say, and expect to take on the work load of surrounding offices and making calls for them etc because they can’t do there jobs, but they can sit on the phone for 3 and a half hours talking to another co worker about their personal problems and laughing and giggling all day long! Don’t bother saying anything to your manager they won’t care either, “if you’re talking you’re typing” was the most repeated and irritating aspect constantly said, I just want to point out I don’t need to type while I talk so you can work me as much as possible, i don’t have the memory of a gold fish like you people do that I need to be doing that, surrounding offices will also always try to fill your orders and steal commission from you but it’s okay because the commission is trash anyways, Don’t forget about your millions of daily to dos either that must be done at certain times through out the day because that’s what the VP likes? Who cares! You’re not
Comfortable being in videos or pictures for their social media? Doesn’t matter they don’t care! Also time off is very much discouraged here, haha their incentive for you to never miss any days of work even if you’re sick is a sad little amount of money on a check, time off here doesn’t exist, like yeah thanks ? Also if you arrive 10 minutes early to your shift you’ll be spoke with because in their insane eyes you are late.. yet you were told you must clock in earlier or by the start time of your shift, but of course you will not be compensated for showing up early or staying late, so what’s the point? so they can squeeze as much work out of you for free as possible. Did someone opt out from receiving the companies messages or emails? They don’t care they’ll just use their company cell phones to still go ahead and harass you that way with the obnoxious amount of marketing they do. Got me all the way messed up, the co workers you work with also have no idea how to speak to the public, they’re all rude and condescending it’s disgusting the way they speak to people. When you finally decide enough is enough and quit, they don’t care at all because their just going to replace you within a week with someone else who has no idea of any of what they’re going to experience and continue the cycle and don’t you worry they will 100% speak ill of you when you quit and then they will act friendly if they see you again in person yet they talk smack about you behind your back, makes sense right? There’s so much more I could say but truthfully it’s not even worth it, do yourself a favor and avoid this company Like the plague. There’s a reason for their insanely high turn over rate. Don’t believe me? Try it out yourself if you have the time to waste, absolutely a joke of a company owned by a “Man” who’s stuck in the 1800’s mind set, that should tell you enough, don’t be the person that drinks the koolaid at this place. ( they also only hire women, and will make notes regarding your appearance in their system and even go as far as writing if your pretty or NOT even though they themselves look like feet) just saying!

From the start I have found the Fort Myers, FL staff to be inconsiderate, condescending and unforgivably rude!
Like most people, I utilized an employment agency to fill a gap, a place holder if you will, till I could find something more suitable while flexing and possibly obtaining new job skills in the process. The job and company the agency placed me at is sufficed to say less than optimal. Despite my background and skill sets, this was one of the better assignments they had available at the time.  In fairness, I wasn't forced to take the assignment. I was presented with the position and chose to give it a chance. Money wise, it wasn't terrible and from the get-go was one of two reasons I stayed for the six months I was there.

I was not at all happy with the placement. It was apparent from the moment I stepped through the doors, the company in which I was assigned is poorly run, the atmosphere is very toxic from top to bottom, and they have neither accountability nor recourse. The powers that be allow and actively practice the bad behavior, and, in many respects, it's encouraged which added to the list of reasons why this was such a retched assignment. 

I guess my holding on as long as I did, gave the agency the impression that things were okay. I don't know if Mancan knows just how dreadful the company is or more likely doesn't care. I'm sure it doesn't matter because, I'd be willing to bet they receive a decent chunk of change from this company to send them bodies.
When I did reach out to the office to inform them that I'd had my fill and was no longer interested in continuing the assignment, I was treated if I was somehow difficult and ungrateful. I did request that I be placed somewhere else. So, it's not as if I wasn't willing to continue working with the agency.  However, it was made clear that that's not really an option.

Mancan benefited from my misery for six months. It's my own fault I kept quiet as long as I did. To be treated so poorly and unprofessionally, I can only surmise that they were more concerned with their own interests, and somehow by asserting myself it meant that I didn't share in that so they could not be bothered.
No matter the economic atmosphere, no matter the social climate, I will not let people who behave the way this office does talk to me like they are chewing their face. I will not let people who beave in the manner in which this office does determine my worth.
Nor should you.

I LOVED what I was doing in the beginning but didn’t take long to find out all their dirty secrets! Forging signatures on important government paperwork and drug screening paperwork and don’t even think about getting sick they will make you feel bad for having the flu and non stop back stabbing even the district manager was two facing all her employees. They would only assign work to people they liked. They are a lawsuit waiting to happen. Corporate would fire them all if they knew half of what they were doing in Julies offices. I had an emergency dental appointment but wasn’t allowed to go because I would miss out office Christmas party ! I thought I was doing the mature, responsible thing but making an appointment during the a party day and not a regular work day. Yeah let that sink in ! I quit. Oh Also the girl I replaced didn’t even know she was being let go until after I was being trained there for almost a week ! They just are out of touch with reality and have no idea how to treat people. What a waste of flesh.

I worked was pleased with the staff that I worked with. The were very kind and concerned.  I worked for a different location for about a month.  The on site location I was at ran out of materials and I was told to call in to see if I was working.  For three weeks I was lied to by a Man can worker.  I found out when I went to the location to see what was going on.  The other workers were working the whole time I was out.  The Man can employee who I corresponded with was sent a text.  I called her, she called me back and spoke to me in an iraite tone. I calmly told her I just wanted to know what was going on. Was I let go?  She said yes.  I said OK and thank you. 3 weeks had gone by and I'm sure she could have told me this three weeks ago....  I don't like temp agencies because some of them are messy.  They do not care about the people they hurt or lives they destroy.  Nothing can be done about it because people need work.  I was let go for no good reason.  I was to work on time, never had any complaints against me, just lied to and let go.

I worked for Mancan for only 3 months.  And in that short amount of time I have never been more challenged, pushed and made to feel like I had everything I needed to succeed at my job.  My co-worker was there for me every step of the way. Not only to answer any question I had, but also to encourage me, when she knew I had the answer. She was encouraging and supportive, and there for me professionally and personally. My manager was just as amazing. She pushed me every day to be the person she saw. She gave me every thing I needed to succeed in the job and more. But expected 100% and then then 20% more, because she knew I had it in me. I was made to feel apart of the team, and appreciated for everything I did. Working for the Parkersburg office under that area Manger made me a better person and helped me succeed in life and in my professional career. I am grateful for the opportunity to work for this area manager, and with the amazing team. It is like a family that pushes each other to succeed.

A typical work day was working in a big factory with different people everyday, working on a assembly line not knowing what machine you will work on that day or the days to follow. What I learned at this job was that you never know who you will be working with that day or the next days to come, I also learned that you will work at a fast pace on a machine by yourself sometimes. The management was great to work with and will help you out when you need it. The co-workers i worked with was awesome they kept up with you while you worked together and they help you when you have to leave the line for a minute. The hardest part about the job was getting used to working 12 hour shifts but it got better as I went. The most enjoyable part of the job was that you got to work on different things each day and you got to work with new people most of the time.

It's a good place. The only problem is how the temp to hire employee's are underpaid. 
There was a special event they had going a few months ago. New employees could receive a $25 dollar Wal-Mart gift card after every 40 hours they worked. New employees were eligible as long as they weren't working for mancan before the time period started. they could receive up too $160. So I went in to get one thinking I qualified. I didn't though because I didn't work those 40 hours in the same week. Every single poster was the same and never mentioned anything else. So the lady I'll leave nameless and I spoke and she figured that it was plausible that I could receive one. After they spoke she told me she wasn't allowed. That even though it was a mistake and that they should have specified, they had only been doing it the one way. 
It was a big let down.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Best part is the pay and commission. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Going to companies that have already said they don't use agencies. You have to continue to go regardless. It's your job!! It's a waste of gas and time. You also send emails to these same companies weekly asking if they have any staffing needs. It's like beating a dead horse 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's stressful at times. You have to be the best or you get ridiculed and made to feel like you are less or that you aren't working had hard as your coworkers 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Your on the phone and lot offering jobs. Or out marketing for prospects to use your services.

I was finally able to get a job (they take there good old time at finding you a job) i started working and was called by MANCAN and told we didn't have a job anymore cause the assignment ended but would have me come back when work came in and they lied about that cause my sister  still has  a job  there and mancan called her boyfriend in to work at the same place after I had been calling every day since being layed off with no reason what so ever other than they needed more parts. So obviously you just have to know someone there.  The office people are rude I was trying to talk to a lady at the canton office and she so rudely said Iam sorry maybe next time and I was not even done talking and she hung up on me.

I worked at Atlas Steel on the caroulsel line preparing the steel product by banding the steel together so when loaded on the flat bed trucks the steel would not come unbined.

The managment were very helpful showing me around the plant and they were very concerned about safety.

One co-worker that I worked with has been employed at Atlas Steel for 31yrs. as a supervisor. He trained me how to prepare the skids and M-20 hydrolic bander. He was very helpful with any question that I had.

The hardest part of the job was bending over using the hydrolic- bander and the heat.

Because of the loud noice in the plant, it was enjoyable to talk with the other employees while we were on our lunch break.
