OnStaff USA

I'm not even sure where to begin. I saw a posting that I was interested in but, the website wouldn't let me apply (that should have been my first clue) so, I called the office and was connected to a receptionist who was clearly having a bad day. I had several questions and all she would say is "I'll let a recruiter know" over and over and she then pretty much hung up on me. I found an alternate number and was told that my resume would be sent in to the employer and, I was then given an appointment with OnStaff for their preliminary screening. I showed up to my appointment to discover that they had double booked and that I needed paperwork that I didn't have because they never told me that I needed to bring it. They proceeded to treat me like a criminal and an idiot. I don't need a lecture on MSDS, I have OSHA training, it's in my resume. Turns out that the position had been "filled" and my resume hadn't been sent in. Suddenly, everyone was terribly concerned about every little detail that the position entailed and whether or not I could handle it despite my current job being excessivly more complicated. "It involves alot of heavy lifting" Well, shucks, I don't know anyone in an industrial power profession who has to handle heavy pieces of equiptment...Oh right, they never actually read my resume. I don't think their clients would be pleased by this lazy vetting process. The answers to my questions were all incredibly criptic and I have a feeling that if I had managed to get a job through them, I would have shown up severely unprepaired due to their inattention to detail. This whole fiasco ended with them telling me that they would wait to hear back from the prospective employer and then set me up with an interview. Sure.

To top it all off, while I was waiting my turn (how do appointments work again?) I overheard one staffer tell an assistant "Oh, I didn't like her. If she calls back, just tell her that we don't have any positions available."

She says this in front of an office full of people trying to get back to work as if we were all invisible. We can hear you!

Save yourself some aggrevation and gas money and find an agency that treats job seekers like human beings. They do exist.

The only positive thing I can say is that if you're desperate for work they can most likely find a factory position for you within a day or two. However, if you possess a college degree and are interested in a non-factory position, you'd be wasting your time. They occasionally list office positions on their website, and here on Indeed, and request that you send in your resume. After sending your resume, you will receive an email asking you to come to their office to fill out paperwork. When you arrive at their office, you will be asked what shift(s) you are interested in working. When you respond that you aren't applying for factory work, you will be told that they only have factory jobs available. I've responded to their ads for office work and had this happen each time.

some days where long , and some days where short , just depended on how many loads we had for the day.

learned  how to use a different scanning program. 

management for denso was great , if u needed time off they worked around your hours so you had that time.

The onsite onstaff management wasnt all that great , i was there for a little over 6 months and did not receive reviews for my hire in ! 

the coworkers where awsome , i got along with all of them , it was a great team ! 

some times we had to work a little faster then we normally had to to make a load i think was the hardest part of the job , other than that it was great .

the most enjoyable part was making new friends and meeting new people .

i learned about all kinds of different metals and their properties. the management was pretty decent i think it still needed some work but it seemed like they were headed in the right direction. my co workers were pretty good people some of them were kind of lazy when it actually came to working. the hardest part of a typical day was babysitting grown men. constantly having to tell people that had been there for twice as long as me where things need to go. the most enjoyable part of the job was being able to get my work done and feel like i accomplished something at the end of the day

Aside from a few minor miscommunications between the temp service team and the company I am currently contracted to the services provided to myself by On Staff USA are top notch. They do offer health care to the employees they place in companies, also several of the options you have to choose from are actual career opportunities. I would definitely suggest this temp service to anyone that is out of work and down on their luck finding a real job.

A typical work day for me is I head to Midwest Fastener which is where I work through Onstaff. I sit at a machine and put parts into a bag then push a pedal that seals the bags. I have to read the work order to see which color bag I need to use and what size. I also have to look at how much the order is for. I've learned to read a work order and to triple check what is says to make sure I'm doing the order right. The hardest part of my job is when the machine doesn't want to work right. The most enjoyable part of my job is getting to know co-workers.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They are completely unreliable. I went in for another assignment, and they said they’d call in a week. Three weeks ago. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with people who literally only worked for 2 hours of the 8 hour shift. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
You could tell they used google translate from Japanese to English for memo’s because they were never proofread 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Riding around on a tugger, watching my coworkers sit in the break area.

I was placed out at Denso Manufacturing., I was told I would be working 8-10 hour days monday thru friday. Nope. I was working 12 hour days 7 days a week. to get hired in there and to become a full time employee you would have to spend months in there, I know of some people who would spend years working there before getting hired. I also know of some who spent 90 days working and got hired in there. its a good company to work for minus the long hours and no family time, its great pay with great benefits once you're hired in there, but then again the family time sucked

I enjoyed being at one job, got laid off and put on one that was way lower pay even though I said I needed more. I was promised to go back to said job and then was told it was no longer avaliable. Recruiter was supposed to call about something and never did. I like the variety of jobs but recruiters need more communication with employees. No benefits and low pay, especially for having to lift heavy parts every day. Was told some weekends and started working every weekend so no family time. Been looking at other agencies honestly.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They lie ignore calls and emails rules only apply to temps the hired can do whatever they want 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Trying to get a hold of your caseworker they tell you that they'll email to return my call the call never completes 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Its ridiculous how you get treated then they tell you what you want to hear but its not true 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It's like trying to get a hold of the president
