I was given the simple task of just giving covid temperature checks and screenings of customers at my city not Chantilly. It was simple and I just organized customers to speak in line at the phone booth. However, an outbreak of covid happened there and the job placement ended early. It was supposed to be for at least 4 months, but it had to end early due to this outbreak at the office! I was not given paid leave nor paid covid testings at all. They offered me warehouse jobs, which sounded better, but nope. it had nothing to do with my career dreams. The warehouse jobs do not seem safe even though the recruiters tell me they are safe because warehouses are known to have higher cases of covid exposure and contact so I had to decline their warehouse jobs.  While this employer is dedicated to getting you a job and to help you remain not unemployed, this is not a stable, safe or secure paycheck place to work now because of the coronavirus pandemic! you can get covid here

Sparks offers low pay jobs for highly skilked professionals. Conducts poor HR interviews by phone with interviewers who say negative comments like your experiance is "thin"! Tell interviewees that their background is in psychology ( not applical for HR people). Tell interviewees they must waste a hour of their time on useless bogus online tests ( well estasbished and I have a Masters in HR management to validate that point) then tell potential employees they if , and I say IF tests results are good they will have two MORE interviews ( huge waste of potential employees time). Kick these guys to the side. They dont even have good communication. No call backs and email responces.

Great company culture. They invest in you, take the time to train you well, and help you grow as a professional. They split up sales and recruiting and have great managers, directors, and executives. 

Staffing is very fast paced, and you learn a lot about different industries. You need to be able to adapt to a lot of situations. You build your own business from the ground up, and are given the tools you need to succeed. A lot of hard work required, but you get out what you put in.

It's a competitive environment, but sales and recruiting work hand in hand. I highly recommend this company.

The SPARKS team is like extended family. Everyone is hard working and willing to help one another. I learned the ins and outs of being an admin assistant with HR responsibilities. I gained a stronger customer service history dealing with candidates in and out of the office as well. The hardest part of my job is telling people that we don't have anything for them or that they didn't get a position they applied for. The most enjoyable part would be the end satisfaction of seeing a deserving candidate land a great job.

I worked at Sparks Group for 14 years.  
Pros:  I was a remote employee so I had a good work life balance.  Compensation is within market. Benefits I enjoyed were the 401K match, health reimbursement and tuition reimbursement on approved courses (there are many more)
 The best part are the people and management. The people at the top are approachable and really care about their employees. They do alot of in office things like chili cook offs, happy hours, company dinners, end of the year parties. 
Cons: Not alot of advancement opportunities

The agency assigned me to work at Wells Fargo.  The pay was good, and I had the opportunity to obtain a full-time position.  The hours did not work very well with my other job at the theater.  The managements at the agency put on a show that they are nice and polite, but often come off as passive-aggressive, and were blatantly rude to me on more than one occasion.  The office experience was valuable and I don't regret taking the job, but I would never work with that temp agency again.

No holiday pay. If you’re on a job site in the holidays coming up you must apply for the day off or they will get you for no call no show. If you happen to work a holiday you get absolutely no holiday pay. They automatically signed you up for a 401(k) if you wanted or not which takes away a lot of your money from your paycheck. Once it’s in the 401(k) they tell you to call the bank and arrange with him to do something with it. The owners and the managers all go on vacation. Not the employees
