Monroe Staffing

I contacted the Providence office regarding a posted job. I did not want to submit my resume automatically because the job had been posted for some time and I wanted to be sure it wasn't filled. I am not in the habit of submitting my personal information for no reason. I received no response for quite some time and when I followed up, I received the most unprofessional and poorly written responses. She also added some snide remarks. When I threatened to tell her supervisor, she arrogantly sent me her boss' email address. I debated on whether to bother, but honestly, she handed over the contact information so fast, it was clear she knew she would not be reprimanded so it seemed useless to me. Clearly, Monroe tolerates her behavior since she continues to be employed. So, my suggestion is to use RITemps or Randstad-both highly professional and they have far more postings than Monroe. If this employee was any indication of their values, then I can understand why other agencies have all of the listings. Recommendation? Try proofreading job ads-not all of us "light industrial" folks are morons. Also, treat people with common professional courtesy.

I did several contracts through them because I don't have very much work experience. The contracts themselves are hit or miss but that isn't really monroe's fault. However, what is monroe's fault is that most of their recruiters are extremely unprofessional and the company is built on a for profit model where the commodity is workers. Some recruiters and the ladies that work the front desk will ignore your call if they recognize your caller ID and you "call too much". I got offered contracts on two different occasions from two different recruiters and was given even a start date, I was told only that I had to wait until I was called to show up. On the start dates I arrived at the places early since I was expecting a call saying I was good to start, only to end up driving home with no job both times. I was unable to get in contact with anyone via the main number or direct cell phone numbers so I stopped in in person only to be given the run-around again. Certainly not worth it to even stop in unless you want to work manual labor for minimum wage.

A typical work day depends on your shift. At Freed's Bakery, I was part of the second shift that went from 4pm to midnight. We arrive about 15 to 30 minutes before start time, place lunch bags in fridges, chi chat with colleagues, relax and dress up appropriately some 5 minutes before start time, punch in and move into the production hall.
At Freed's bakery, I learned everything involved in the process of cupcake production.
The management did a good job meeting with workers and discussing innovations and proposing solution to problems. 
The work team was a melting pot of people from all areas. This created small sub groups during lunch and dinner but this in no way affected work or production.
The hardest part of this job was that It was hard to have a social life since we of the second shift sleep during the day and work at night and the most enjoyable part was the recognition given for hard work and meritorious services.

The work is very fast paced, I  like that.  However the hours are very long.  My body can only handle such fast paced physical labor for so many hours.  After eight hours, you feel like you have had enough. After ten hours, your body feels like it want to shut down.  After 12 hours, you are so exhausted that you are now a danger to yourself and those around you.  It is extremely difficult not knowing g when you will be able to go home.  Even after 12 hours, the management tries to guilt trip you into staying longer.  There is possibilities of advancement, but if you have a family, kiss them goodbye because you will never see them.  Sure plenty of overtime, but it is not optional, it is mandatory.  Work some Saturdays, which is ok.  Always have Sundays off.  Always have most major holidays off.  The work environment is not bad.  The long, uncertain hours are the main problem.  The employee community is pretty good too.

I was interviewed and was chosen as a candidate for a Plant in Torrington CT.  The job orientation was a week before starting the hands on training. A typical day was arriving ten mins ahead putting your lunch away putting goggles on and smock before entering area, punching in via scanner and gathering for morning meeting before reporting to department you was assigned to. My Department was Sub Assembly which consisted of handling and placing material carefully as instructed on machine to fill with nickle pellets, tape sides properly and place on table properly afterwards always in a timely and safety manner. Besides this you have to first do a check off list of your work area before and after tasks is done for the day. I felt excited and happy working there.

I learned the ins and outs of reviewing payroll associated with a time clock. How to make corrections and adjustments on time-clock punches. Accessed staffing agency systems to pull reports, then customized them in excel for management to monitor budget costs. Managed all employee activities attendance, payroll, time off requests. Took messages for director, ordered office supplies as needed. Paid attention to flyers and inserts to request additonal copies in advance for shipments. Enjoyed the multiple responsibilities and decision making I was entrusted as a support to the Director who was very busy. The hardest part was when I had to make that call to the agency to terminate assignments of the temporary warehouse employees.

I loved working with Monroe Staffing. President is accessible, compensation is great, flexible schedule, working remote program, they are pro-employee, always looking out for you and very understanding people. This was my first experience working in the Staffing Industry and it was the place that made me fall in love with this type of job. I love customer service and i have my clients to provide that but also feeling satisfied helping people and offering great job opportunities. 

If i could i would retire from this organization. i had to relocate to FL but i would come back if i could. 

I started as a secretary and within a month i got promoted as a Recruiter

I would got to work get a pack of customer deliveries through out the state. I would organize them to get the most time efficient route. I would call the customer 30-1hr before delivery to let them know we would be there. I would have to carry and install appliances such as refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers,washer,dryer,and microwaves. i would then have to test them to see if they worked properly. I would also have to train every new employee on how to carry and install appliances properly. I was also in charge of going to customers homes that had been damaged from other delivery agents in the company to take pictures and get an adjustment. the co-workers were good. I enjoyed the fact that i went to different locations and every delivery was something different.

A typical day would to Report attendance punches and rosters out to management at our clients,
Open orders call to discuss what are the top priorities and focuses of the day for each recruiter
Daily Safety and success Training's for all new employees.
Recruit for open positions
Run Reports
Assist in every day office and employee needs.
Hardest Part of the job i would say to find candidates that would stay working.
The most enjoyable part of my day is to help those who are in need to get on there feet. it is a beautiful feeling to see your employee come in and pick up there first check and thank you a million times for taking that time in connecting with them and help guide them in the right direction.
