If you have no other alternative, they are better than nothing.

They are a temp staffing agency and I get that but no benefits, no holiday pay, personal time or paid vacation even on long term assignments. They claim that you will get those upon being hired permanently which does no good if the client is not hiring for whatever reason. They could at least inform you that the client is not hiring so you can make an informed decision. When asked about benefits, they either respond with the aforementioned or claim that the client is not offering that as part of your compensation despite the client telling you otherwise. Getting a raise of any kind takes an act of congress.

Unlike other agencies, they do not check up on you out on the job unless it's for something wrong like missing time off. This is the first staffing agency that ive worked with who does not keep in touch with its employees except whenever there is something negative to discuss, and when they do, there is no positive reinforcement which makes you feel like you are not really appreciated. They are condescending and dismissive and dishonest. They did not even know that I had been on the job for as long as I had or what I did there! 

At least the client was decent and tried to help with things where the agency would not. I needed time off to visit my sons who unexpectedly came home from deployment so the client reported that there was no work for the day whereas had I called the agency it would've counted as an occurance. You do get paid weekly which is VERY RARE these days anywhere you go. I at least stayed on long enough till I graduated college which the client once again had to be the one to step up to help and even encourage me.

I would only apply here if there is no alternative and would only stay long enough as a stepping stone to gain work experience. After all, they are just a staffing agency and not a very good one.

When I first started this job, I felt so supported and appreciated. But over time, old management left and the new people are uncaring and do the bare minimum. They went through a new manager, and four different team leads, and none of the current staff are competent in my opinion. I remember the old management used to send out emails to thank caregivers when they are doing a good job, and did yearly events and giveaways to boost morale and trust. They have not done so in about three years. They used to do training for clients, but now they only have online "trainings" which aren't tailored to the client. I had dealt with rude or mean clients in the past and were handled swiftly and with genuine care. The last year I worked, when a client was rude, they did not address the issue or fix anything. It's like it is a whole new company. I had to leave due to being cut hours without replacement hours for over 4 months. I would understand this if I was a new employee and they didn't want to give a new caregiver a ton of hours without proving they are reliable and will stay, but I had worked almost 5 years with this company with no complaints ever from a client. I miss my old clients, but I couldn't stay with a company who disrespected someone so deliberately. They would never respond to my emails or phone calls, and in person would make promises they never delivered on. Maybe they are overworked, but in that case, they shouldn't take on so much without being able to handle what they already have. They moved into a bigger building last year, but they can barely keep the staff they have. It is clear they are focused on growing profits.

When hired, I couldnt start right away. Had to wait a week to get hours. I wanted full time but couldnt get that and didnt want to wait months for possibly getting hours I needed. They are bad with communication. Anytime I call the office you never get an answer. Always say someone will call back. Why is the manager never in the office? Even just a simple question cant be answered. And the receptionist is gone now, so no one answers the phone. 
Clients are okay. Sometimes they are rude but it is what it is. Hours can be flexible but hours are not guarenteed. I thought they needed a lot of help but it doesnt seem like it.
I did not like management. They pretend to be nice but complain behind your back. They do not appreciate the caregivers they hire. And again they do not communicate! Favoritism. 
Hate having to drive so much for clients. Was wanting to work in Rapids area, but have to drive to Plover and Point and other cities just to work. Wish they would reimburse mileage. 
I dont recomment this place. It is good if you need experience but maybe work somewhere else. I like caregiving but they made the job not worth it.

I love cargiving. I had a few families i came to really care for and it was hard saying goodbye to them. But nicolet is a terrible company. I never felt supported or appreciated. I never felt heard or cared for. I can tell they don't care about caregiving and only want money. They always had bad communication. It would take 1-2 weeks at least to get a response from them.
A lot of their clients are 2 hour shift. To get a full day, I had to spend 3+ hours driving. With 30 minute breaks between clients, sitting in a hot car in the summer sucked. Clients would often cancel before the shift, leaving you without hours. One client canceled and the office didn't tell me, and wouldn't pay me after driving 45+ minutes to the client's house. 
They cut down my hours and wouldn't give me any more suddenly. They promised new clients but never gave me any. After 3 months of this, I had to leave them. Looking back, this company absolutely sucks. I hope Rapids area will get a competitor soon. I know many of their old caregivers who worked 5+ years with them are leaving too. Hope they find a good job.

I was hired as a Digital Operator and Team Lead for a contract job that was originally set to last for 6 months. Started this job in late November last year and I was very dedicated and also fair with the three other employees who worked with me. The management above me, however, have a very catty and negative attitude, especially towards former employees who would leave for FT jobs that are permanent. I would congratulate them... but managers from Buffalo would call those former employees and yell at them in anger. Not just that, but the management would even bad-mouth about them and try getting me in on their gossip, but I refused to say anything because I know how to be professional and mature. If the management wouldn't be so bi-polar and immature, I would recommend this company, but this review is a clear warning to all of you: Do not apply for them. Period.

StaffWorks Group is a company that believes in harassment, bullying and an overall toxic work environment, screaming, talking down to individuals, to more subtle forms of poor communication, setting people up for failure, mismanagement and an air of hostility. As a colleague I have witnessed management harass my co-worker(s). They believe in doing everything illegal. They cover up their dirty work and they're completely unorganize, no structure or real training. If an temp-employee doesn't return their call for a job, they purposely won't put that Temp on a job because it was hard for them to fill the position. They do not have a human resource department for you to complain too, if your being mistreated. This company plays a role at the beginning that it's a great company to work for but it's just a honeymoon stage.

A typical day at work- shifts are 2 hours. 30 minutes between shifts. So 4 shifts is 8 hours, so about 2.5 hours unpaid for driving to clients. I hated this aspect of the job. When hired I was told there were longer shifts, like 4-6 and even some 12 hour shifts, but after hire, they weren't available.

Management- as other reviews say, they are bad. Made promises but couldn't deliver. Are never available. It is crazy to have to go into the office just to speak to someone. 

Workplace culture- caregivers are overworked with no appreciation. Never even a thank you. Management are rude and have favoritism to caregivers.

Hardest part of the job- dealing with management. They never resolve issues, leaving caregivers miserable.

Most enjoyable part of the job- clients can be good. I like caregiving but the short shifts can be hard.

Take the following advice seriosly if you believe you should get paid for the work that you do....DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY!! You will only get paid for the hours that the lead inspector Amber Webb chooses to turn in. Also...when waiting to get paid for your last paycheck...don't hold your breath on receiving one without seeking help from a labor attorney. I was suppose to receive my final pay check over a month ago...I have had to seek legal representation because they still haven't paid me. SHADY MANAGEMENT!! BEWARE!!
