Selectemp

The good: Working for this company was mostly great. Everyone is invested in the success of the team. There is a strong sense of community and shared accomplishment. Everyone has genuine want and desire for each persons individual success and they are great at development of your individual strengths. There is high levels of accountability that is demonstrated from all positions including leadership. 

The bad: Corporate oversight often leads to many abrupt policy changes that seem to not make sense most of the time, and can be frustrating to adjust to. 
There is not a good work life balance in most positions. Their "make it happen" culture while energizing for some, can feel like pressure to always be available to work regardless of day or time. 

If you are someone that thrives on competition, is energized by shifting goals and enjoys the sales aspect of customer service, this will be a great job for you! If you are not motivated by sales metrics and are not willing to make your job your identity, this is going to be more stressful than enjoyable. Its a great place to work, if you have a similar mindset. 

Typical day is very busy with constant fast-paced multi-tasking: scheduling, connecting, interviewing, coordinating, and data entry being most of the work. 
As a recruiter, I've learned much about employment law and interviewing, as well as powerfully honed my own sense of career goals and how to get work. 
Management is very responsive and involved in the day-to-day without being overly micro-managing. 
Workplace culture rewards hard work, smart work, professionalism, and transparency. 
Hardest part of the job is the very fast-pacing, and complex tech management / multi-tasking with the same. Very poor benefits make for some tough choices personally. 
Most enjoyable are the people I work with, responsiveness and passion of management, and supportive work environment. 


Although my overall experience with the employer that I was placed with did not work out due to various reasons , the people at select temp were fantastic at their job. These folks worked after hours as necessary, made multiple attempts to contact me when it was necessary and all and all they did an extremely good job getting me to work.
 I would recommend it their services to anybody that is interested in utilizing a hiring service to secure employment.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flexible hours and professional staff.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No certainty over assignment ending date

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It varies.  Usually looking for temp jobs so the work culture will vary depending on where you are placed and what thpe of job it is.  Selectemp has a very professional list of client employers.  Almost always I've come away feeling like the job was a good fit.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Start time is whenever the employer needs, breaks and lunches for temps are often spent in the car, and sometimes   temps can be let go early.  There is often overtime, but not always does it add up to over 40 hours per week.

This is a temp agency, so a typical day could just be waiting for a job to come up to go to. If you are able to get a job to go on your typical day would be learning the job in hand at the time. You learn a lot on the temp jobs because there not always the same. Management is usually pretty well partial because they know you are temps are might be learning the job for the first time. It is unfair to ask about co-workers because you are working against them for the job your at in the moment. The hardest part about this job is working really hard at a certain job and then not getting hired on full time, but the best part is when you do.

I really like that Selectemp lives and breathes safety and everything we do focuses on the talent that comes in the door!
We genuinely love helping get people into jobs that they can be proud of. 
In life we spend more time at work than we do anywhere else while awake, I get to help make a difference in how people look at life... Not everyone can say that! 
I have a team of other great people that get to help in that process that care just as much as I do!
Management sees the potential in people and they try and help you shine! 

Not much to say. It was a temp agency. You get work when it is available but there's no guarantee that you will get or keep that job. You are at the mercy of the employer who is going through the temp agency. Not the fault of the temp agency. Most of the places that I worked for didn't keep the temps around for long. They would lure temps in with the offer of permanent employment but had no intention of hiring you. Again, not the fault of the temp agency.
The people at the temp agency were SUPER nice and did everything they could to help me find a job. I recommend it to anyone I know needing work.

I think the initial training was helpful but after that, you will swim on your own. No benefits and low wage in comparison to other companies. The management team is quite toxic and greedy. They always do things to make profits despite it go against their morality. If one day you see your co-workers quit, it is very usual. I saw at least three people called it quit in a few months. Very high turnover rate considering for a 25+ workers company!

I had the privilege of working closely with one of Selectemp's best branch managers.She was very good at pushing employees to work outside of their comfort zones, while fostering help and support.

The company's mission and culture are very customer centric. This is a staffing agency that values it's clients and customers equally! I strongly recommend Selectemp for all of your staffing/job finding needs.
