Rita Staffing

My time as an employee for Rita Staffing was short, as it’s based on the contract they have with the company you are doing the work for. I worked at a e-commerce warehouse as an inbound and receiving worker, and enjoyed it. It’s easy and can be productive. You get one, 15 minute break and a 20 minute lunch period during your scheduled 10 hr shift. Also, we didn’t usually work the scheduled 10 hrs. We were let off earlier most days. The availability for shifts were nice and accommodating. The down side to any temp. agency is you could be told there’s no more work and your contract has ended without any notice, as this was my situation. My contract ended in June and I came back in late November as a picker. This was a horrible experience because we, Rita Employees in the Pick Mod, only really got to pick once or twice. We usually ended up having to walk around for hours, sweeping and cleaning. I was told my contract ended not to long after restarting as there were too many hired and had to be let go for a bit. When I came back for that second time around, I felt useless and not valued. As I do understand the retail world, I was just a number.  Also, Walmart employees were given free food for their lunches as well as shirts at random where as Rita Staffing never provided their employees with such things. Employees for Rita are totally separate from the Walmart employees, almost like clicks. Management told us to not talk to or interact with the Walmart employees and to only speak to fellow Rita Staffing employees. Felt very divided.

Explore other options when applying with Rita Staffing.  They make you feel like you'll get placement for a job you're qualified for,  but they seem to drop the ball once you've gone through the process of applying,  interview and background check.   I have healthcare, clerical. and food service experience.  Over a 2 year period,  I've only been put on one assignment which was a banquet function.  By the time I cut out of my regular job early,  and drove to the other side of the earth to work for 4 hours,  it definitely wasn't worth the headache.  I'm not saying they're a bad agency,  I just think they don't follow through with people who are more than qualified and available.

This staffing agency is wonderful to work with. The office job placement person takes the time to see what type of work you are capable of doing and then talking with you to see what type of work you are most interested in doing and then she will keep communicating with you to inform you of what she has available and whether or not she thinks you will be a good fit.

I have used this company twice and was very happy both times. The hardest part of this job was waiting to be sent out to a job. In both cases I really enjoyed working at the companies and with the people where I was placed.

Rita Staffing has a great group of advisers, payroll staff and receptionists at both locations in Lakeland, FL.  The only thing that is a bit behind the times is the fact that direct deposit takes too long and the fact that you have to pick up your check.  I do sympathize since they pay weekly, but if all of this was accomplished online like other temp services it would alleviate the situation and rushing to the office on the other side of town during rush hour traffic in order to make it the only branch to pick up pay, then wait in line at Walmart or somewhere in order to cash it since most banks are closed by the time the check is received.

working for rita staffing temp was a great experience. Although it was only seasonal i enjoyed every bit of it. My typical day at work included packing an unpacking product, selecting, & building pallets. management was great, they teach u everything u need to know. i believe the hardest part of my job was break time, because i was so eager to succeed an i wanted to prove that to management. The thing i loved best about my job was the health care benefits, because it provided me with insurance for my kids and me.

This job was very rewarding and challenging to and for me. I did learn a great deal, multi-tasking and striving to get the most out of this experience as I could. I also had a great time with inputting data into the computer and also greeting customers as they entered the office. Routed calls and also took messages for staff. Use of office machines used as needed and directed.

A typical day at work would consist of 12 hour shifts breaking scratch off ticket books. I learned how to operate coveyor belt machine and how to load and label the boxes that were being shipped out of state. Management team was strict but fun when the work was light. The hardest part about the job was doing 72 hours a week plus going to school. The most enjoyable was the people I got to meet.

terrible they never found me a job although I am overqualified for most

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
they never return phone calls or emails

Send you out to an admin job only to find out it's a call center environment not an administrative assistant position like they said. You give it a week, maybe you'll grow to like it. But when you don't and you tell them you are not going back and want another job they never call you again. That was 2012 and even though I apply to other job posts, even interview with them & do their stupid tests......they never send me anywhere!

I applied with them in November of 2013 with 20 years of administrative experience.  I apply to jobs that fit my skill set and salary range and I have never received a call from them.  I call every week and I'm told just keep calling back.  I'm not sure how much longer this branch will stay open if they are not fulfilling their clients needs by placing experienced people.
