Nelson Connects

- Work-life balance is based on the company you are working with. 

-  Great way to get your foot in the door. 

Pros: 
- great communication
- paid on a weekly basis
- no wait period for holiday pay.  
- Recruiters are super helpful with the advice for the interview process.   
- health benefits 
- pay information is ran via ADP

Cons:
-  Background check is run by a 3rd party company. In a short time frame; They repeatedly reached out to my references outside of business hours to complete the form.
- no sign-on bonus 
-   there is only sick time is available(no PTO) and select paid hoildays; any holidays outside of that list which that the company you temp for has are unpaid. Please note, you can only work on that said holiday, if, the company writes an email to the agency that you need to work on that holiday. 

-  does not pay out sick time when contract ends due to TOS
-  did not get pay out all hours worked on last day until the following week since some hours fell on a different pay week .   

side note,  off-boarding was simple and easy. I just signed paperwork. 
However, This temp agency doesn't guide employees for other work opportunities once the contract is up. The employees at the company I was contracted at found it odd since other companies  helped past temp workers with other opportunities. However, I never expected it.  

Take care of staffing needs, temporary and new hires.  Provide new hire and temporary employee orientations, Safety orientation on daily basis along with PPE equipment distribution, employee badge issued for security entrance.  Trouble shoot benefits issues, payroll issues, manage time and attendance on payroll database.  Meet with managers and supervisors daily to discuss employee relations issues, disciplinary procedures termination processes as needed.  Hardest part of the job is the termination that is unexpected by employee.  Learned to view the current work styles in the HR group and how to make many of the processes work easier and smarter. Co-workers will always be a challenge due to the many different personalities; however I am very open to the in-differences we all share the same space.  The most enjoyable part is the day to day work that can produce a good outcome from the employee perspective.  This can also apply to the customers out side of the company; build rapport with your inter-company people and those who we work with from the out-side as well.  Also being able to wear many hats and have the knowledge, skills and abilities to do a good job at the end of the day.

very busy but not so stressful. what i've learned working for Nelson Staffing is computer skills. and i've also learned how to check for work references. My manager was a very helpful person. She was also kind and easy to get along with. She made work enjoyable and always had me look forward to coming back to work the next day. My co-worker was also a joy to work with. The hardest part of the job i would say would be trying to find people to come in to work for a fish company called So-Cal. making those calls until we filled as many positions as possible for that day. My most enjoyable moments were all the dinners we attended with the head masters of the company. These ladies really knew how to make their employees feel special. They showed much appreciation for all our hard work and always gave us the motivation we needed.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The amount of work can be overwhelming, there is a lot to do, sometimes feels like there isn't enough time to do it. However, the people are supportive and hard working themselves.

I feel supported by my manager and known by others in the company (that is huge to me since I work remotely). It is a fast-paced busy environment, but everyone is very encouraging.

I am constantly learning new things that we do as a company and new things in this industry. One of the biggest challenges for me is how quickly things move. The thing I enjoy most is the people. The company itself feels very big and diverse, and at the same time has a family feel. Must deliver results.

Pros:
Working with top-notch people. Good pay. Good benefits. Respectable company.


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part is the fast pace, being constantly busy, and the amount of work to do

A typical day would vary from day to day depending on the progress and technical problems of creating a video game. Some days I would have to complete "test cases", which are bugs/issues thought to be fixed in the game but need to be confirmed by actual game play. Other days I was involved in "play testing" which involved simply playing the game as intended and checking for inconsistencies in the game play. Most days I was searching for bugs within the game and reporting them using a QA Lead approved language format on Microsoft Word and submitted them to a bug database.

Usually I am called up by my boss at Nelson Staffing and asked whether I am available on a certain day to work as an administrative assistant for a certain company. If I am available, I arrive at the company on the appointed day and meet with the contact from that company I will be working with. I usually work a full eight hour day for however many weeks are needed for this particular job site and then I move on to another. The hardest part of the job is first meeting my contact in the new company that I will be working with and the most enjoyable part is meeting new people at the various job sites and learning about what their company does from just filing their paper work or answering phone calls.

When I was looking for a job back in February of 2013 I went to one of Nelsons' open houses, called every week but still no luck it took months to land an assignment. Fast forward to July 2013....... Working steady but the point of contact was flaky and she never answered her phone or returned calls if you wanted a response you needed to text her.... A couple of times my check wasn't correct the first time it took a month to get a day that I was shorted and the other times I just didn't bother because as I said the poc was flaky and hard to reach. Was laid off from the assignment as was most of the staff that was there and have not had a return call or text from the poc about any other opportunities. They could be better on that. All in all it is not a bad employer

This is a company that only offers temporary jobs at different venues.
It was great for me as I arrived in Napa only two years ago and I didn't know anyone.
I's been a definite solution to my needs for the last two years but I need to move on and wish to work for a specific company that could be more reliable as far as scheduling me for the better part of the year.
It was also very educating to have worked in different wineries and tasting rooms, and a great experience as I educated and serve a very diverse clientele from different cities and countries around the world.

Clock in at the specified time or five minutes prior to be safe.
Work with assigned forklift driver,two breaks which are fifteen minutes, at 7:30 clock out for 30 minute lunch. Clean up before checking out and pass down to the next shift what the work situation is heavy day of light where and what supplies are needed for the day, check out right on quitting time and no sooner. 

The customer employers very friendly as well as their employees and appreciative of hard work ethic and consistent job performance, will teach how to perform tasks correctly. A reminder always be safe, don't endanger yourself.

I started my first assignment with Nelson in 1998 and is still currently active with them, they have sent me on several jobs that turned in to permanent positions.
I have learned alot of different skills from joining with Nelson which helped me out in the long run on different assignments.

I have met some wonderful people working with Nelson most of them them have turned out to be very good friends of mine.

hardest part of a temp job you meet really nice people and your assignment ends.

I enjoy working for Nelson because you can meet a variety of people from all walks of life.
