My recruiter set me up with a coffee company , and it all happened so fast that , that I was just trying to make some money to live and the idea he/and the VP of the company sold me was great. I was told to hang in there and that help was coming , which was my recruiter coming to work for the company, did I think that this was odd?, of course, but i thought maybe it was a temporary fix and he really wanted to help me and the company thrive. That was not the case, throughout my brief period of working there, I notice right off the bat, that there were serious structuring issues with the employees teamwork, training others, and the management. So the recruiter texts me everyday and asks me about what the issues were and other info ect, basically gaining Intel from me, so that he could come in and do the job that I was personally told by the president of the company the day before an email was sent to the staffing agency that what she expected , why she was bringing the recruiter in and that i was the the person for the job as soon as she sat down in the interview with me and even gave me a hug and said hang in there; so the people link manager tells me that the company said that they didn't think it would work out. I ask him why, and told him about what his employee had told me and he starts asking me questions ; like he had no idea about any of it. I stay over the day of the termination , they let me work over and of course I worked my butt off. And they company even had the nerve to put me on the schedule for the next week after knowing they would/or already sent the email that day ending the week. It was all so fishy to me, and I still have questions ; A company that is supposed to help others match employment skills/experience and success; this is the mission for any staffing agency and I could not believe the way I was taken advantage of, the recruiter had quit a week before letting me know so he was acting as a staffing recruiter for several days , when in fact he was employed by the company at that point. I would advise NO one go to this agency if you do not want to be taken advantage of or worse. In the end I had other offers the same day, but I trusted this recruiter and that was my mistake, that will not happen again. I am taking time to write this for anyone that is really in need of a job/career, DO NOT go to this cut throat place! I will be reviewing every agency from this point forward and I hope they do not do what they did to me to someone else. Its just down right dirty, wasting my time and using me as a puppet.

Placed at Paragon Medical.
Typical day at work consisted of Edge/Deburring parts that came off of multiple turret presses, sometimes pinch rolling parts flat if production slowed down, also peeling and cleaning parts occasionally before they were shipped out to anodize. I learned how to work efficiently and quickly adapting to different work loads day to day. Did not have an immediate supervisor on 2nd shift however management did take place and was effective. Co-workers were friendly and answered all questions it was a much more family oriented facility than most. The hardest part of the job I was given was keeping up with the turret presses when the previous shift left a large workload which myself and the machinests on my shift thought to be ridiculous however with their help I always got caught up. The most enjoyable part about the job was the enviornment and friendly co-workers that definatly means more than a higher paying job in my book.

the issue for me has been the companies they send you to. My first position was at treetops foods the employees there were extremely lazy .I worked in the mixer room where you would often see employees sitting around laying on pallets etc. Floors were nasty and slippery I felt like I was working alone at keeping the work area clean.My second experience through people link was with county materials 5 hours before you get a break for 30 minutes and another 3 to 4 hours before your shift ends.This place made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome it is predominantly staffed with Mexicans who seem to feel as though they are better than the African American employees. I also had an incident where a temp from people link stepped on then kicked my broom while sweeping my work area. Also at county materials I was put in a wet area without proper ppe no apron no face shield no rubber boots was made to climb on top of a machine to climb over a gated enclosure instead of them unlocking the gate and allowing me to enter

A rare to find a tolerable office job, but Service Source is really close. I worked for the Dell team processing Sales quotes online. I learned how to use Renew on Demand and I was able to learn some new tricks for Excel and Word. The hardest part of the job was reaching out to the sales reps and getting needed information to complete the quotes in Dell's system. 

The most enjoyable part of the job was working around such happy people. I admit that I've never worked somewhere and the people actually liked working.

Management varies depending on which team you work for. They can be good or bad. I happened to be on a team in which management was lacking. Of course, management was pretty accommodating if you needed to take time off. 

As this was a temporary position, there wasn't really a chance to find out if there was a lot of chance to advance. The job culture seems to promote from within, though.

The facility that I worked at was 95% Hispanic and I don't speak any Spanish. The few people that I worked more closely with, didn't speak good English, so that made it nearly impossible to work there. I am an experienced forklift driver, and a female, so my last straw was when they tried to force me to literally get into a huge dumpster in order to put garbage in there because they said there was some law that wouldn't allow any of us to drive the forklift outside of the building for any reason, in their parking lot! I could have easily used the forklift outside, at the other end of the dumpster to throw the rest of the garbage into it! I'm not prejudice by any means, but with 95% of their employees being Hispanic, speaking Spanish should have been mandatory to work there. Also, I worked at this facility for a couple of months, and they never had me become certified to drive the forklift, which was my main job.

I learn something new just about every day working for Ms. M.T.. She has  placed me in positions when I've not known anything and come out of the position knowing so much about the position.

I feel very lucky to have been working for Ms. M.T.. She has made it possible for  me to learn so much about machines and  book making/ binding/ publishing, etc. I learned how to run so many machines working for Ms. M.T.,  and I was able to meet so many wonderful people, and work in the clerical field that I enjoy, especially scanning, mail rooms, and so much more!

If there is anything hard on this part of the job it was only for the first day, after that much easier, as with every job. I enjoyed learning all the new things to add to my experience and skills.

Working for Ajinomoto in Carthage is a great experience! This is my second time working there and i wish i would have stayed there instead of going to the new plant in Joplin when it opened! A typical day of work would include loading trucks, moving trailers in and out of the docks, unloading, receiving, running tags and filling out paper work so the product can be scanned to a location for future use. My coworkers were the best people i have ever worked with! Everyone got along which made the day go by so smooth. I would have to say the hardest part of the job was trying to teach someone new how to drive a forklift especially a stand up! On the other hand being asked to be the certified trainer by the safety manager was awesome!!! The most enjoyable part of my job was being able to work with people and train them and certify them on the equipment!

My first check with the manteno il office was grossly short. The staffs attitude was they could care less. I had to call their corporate office to get straightened out. When i went to pick my check the staff were very nasty about. I felt threatened. I just wanted my check peacefully. Dont work for the Manteno office. They dont care if checks are wrong and will have a nasty attitude if you have any issues. Unprofessional and disappointing office! They are liars. They lied to us about whos blame it was, how it happened and more. Its their jobs to make sure payroll is right. I called earlier in that week to confirm it and the rep was too busy and hung up on me. I quit because of all that. I wasnt going to worry about my checks or dealing with them all the time . wouldn't recommend them if they were the last agency on earth.

I worked with Peoplelink for almost a year in their Temp Supervisor Role. Overall, I learned a lot as far as carrier growth goes. I was working with one of their clients as an onsite supervisor for our agency. However, you are required to do a lot more things in this role then stated in the job post. It's a good role If your looking to get a supervisor role in a manufacturing setting, or become a group leader, line leader. You learn data entry, excel spreadsheets, attention to detail, which are required for any administrative roles, etc. But, I would say for future references that this role needs a lot of fine tuning.
