Wood Personnel Services

If you're seeking to gain exposure to the world of HR, good place to start - but keep all of your options open and do not hesitate to jump ship when the opportunity arises.  Management will sell you on a culture of helping people "achieve personal and professional goals".  If that sounds cliche and disingenuous to you, that's because it is.  

There are an overabundance of Staffing firms in the Mid-TN area.  You could do worse than Wood Personnel, but you can most certainly do better.  While they provide good benefits, salaries are roughly 20-25% below market value and no annual reviews for potential raises.  Bonuses are also provided, but are unreliable and mostly insignificant.  Paid time off is also available, but good luck in trying to utilize them all.  Company will reach outside the organization to fill positions as opposed to promoting from within - which is a massive problem when there are not many areas of opportunity to advance.

Look elsewhere.

From the first day with this company to now I have seen their saying, "Just good people" being put into action every day. I'm not sure how this company was in the past, but it sounds like management, growth within, and paid time off have really improved.

I have seen numerous promotions, and can speak for myself, that there is definitely growth opportunities within this company.

If you are looking for a larger company then I would not suggest working here. Each office is a family-like team. You get to know each other well and this could be what some people want or what some don't want.

I can only testify my personal experience. Everyone experiences things differently. We all have different skills, backgrounds, and qualifications.

It was a place were you had the ability to learn new things. 
I learn to manage my numbers and to have the ability to look for serial numbers. Have the ability to searched for the right number and product information. My co-workers were fun and they made my job easier to accomplish. We became family.
The hardest part of that job was that they did not had a very good communication with the team leaders of that specific job.
The most enjoyable part was the good co-workers that you will find in each job location and the superviser that really care about your safety.

Good company and people. CEO is kind and truly care about his employees. Great benefits and PTO options. Several employees have been with the company 10+ years. Each branch office has a family-feel, and the entire company comes together 1-2 times each year for company-wide events. Working in the branch offices is a great way to learn more about recruiting, human resources, and staffing. Fast-paced environment that involves a lot of teamwork and working closely with the public. The most rewarding part is helping candidates find jobs they are excited about. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Home office tries to build morale by giving employees free tickets to local sporting events 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management can’t manage their branch and feels pressured from upper management that doesn’t have a clue of what’s going on 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Unprofessional to say the least 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Feeling overwhelmed not by the job it’s self but by your co workers unprofessional behavior

Very helpful, worked hard to find me employment when I needed it.  Happy. cheerful and helpful staff• Worked from December, 2016 to October, 2017

	Verified, corrected, and executed the input of all patient information and account receivable procedural charge amounts into a new accounting system for an urgent care company with offices located throughout a five state area.
	Verified, corrected and executed the input of all State and county elected/appointed officials contact information and CPU certification history into a new computer system.

By and large, I enjoyed the assignments that Wood Personnel Services provided me.  My pay range largely depended on-the-job responsibility...from $10 up to $18 per hour.  I preferred working more jobs that were considered short to long term.  Any where from 2-3 weeks to 4+ weeks.

The CEO son is ruining this company as well as managers who are never there. They are all about making a quick buck and screwing over the candidates that are coming in. They disregard safety and over look employee complaints about there clients. This company provides work for sweat shops that over work there employees and provide NO days off for them. This company is a dead end. I would never recommend to anyone that they work here. The CEO son is a dictator who acts like a child. While working here I witnessed 2 different robberies and gun shots. there offices are not in safe locations.

honestly i think they need to do more research into the companies they staffing. most of the managers I had were mean. any time i called about a job they would give me the run around. I knew people who would call right after i would and the story would be different. The jobs posted on their website are not actually the jobs they are staffing for . or they lie and say they know nothing about it . I've worked for this company for a long time. it seems to be getting worse not better. The people who actually care no longer work there.

Wood Personnel is an overall great place to work. Everyone there from corporate to the individual branches are all great! The only reason I left was because I was offered an external position closer to home and making more money. It is hard working in the staffing world but they compensate for that by offering a lot of cool perks like free stuff, an amazing benefits package and a very generous vacation policy. I would definitely recommend Wood Personnel to anyone!
