I recently moved to Maryland to live closer to family, and for the first few months I attempted job…read morehunting on my own and through Office Team (an agency I'd worked with before in Boulder) but had little success. In the spring of 2018, I heard about Elite Personnel--my mother's friend raved about how quickly they helped him and a couple of his friends find temp to permanent positions. Since at the time I was still only in temporary positions, I reached out to Elite. Within two weeks of my telling them I was seriously interested in anything they could come up with, they were offering me a summer temp job with an insurance company they regularly offered help during rush. Within a week of that job ending in August, Elite offered me another temporary job with a law firm in D.C. And when that one ended, it wasn't long before they were talking about a temporary to permanent position with Erickson Immigration Group, another law firm near D.C. In mid-January I was offered a temp-to-full position there. EIG is a great place to work, I met several other people who had also been sent here from Elite Personnel taking the same path I have, and I smoothly transitioned last week from a temporary employee working through Elite Personnel to a full-time employee working with EIG. My employment since May of 2018 has come to me through Elite Personnel. I never doubted that they were looking for a permanent position to put me in. One of the things that struck me in the temporary positions is how so many of the companies they sent temporary or temp-to-full workers have a very clear long-term relationship with Elite. The companies trust Elite to know how to match employees with positions. I will definitely recommend Elite Personnel to anyone looking for employment in the Bethesda-DC-Northern Virginia area, be it temporary or long-term.

I should have composed a review late November when I was let go or December 2024…read more Elite Personnel VP contact NHG and manager EH contacted me about a Contract Travel Accounting position for a large union International Brotherhood Teamsters IBT near the Capitol downtown DC. It was a temp to hire staffing assignment and looking to start Monday August 12. Interestingly, I just relocated from NYC July 31, 2024. I had to work 500 hours to become permanent. I already interviewed three other staffing recruiters and a Silver Spring MD direct hire HR employee which they were stalling with pending next steps in the interview process so I prioritized my time and took IBT staffing agency to survive. Although the pay rate was $29 hour and it was non-negotiable per NHG so I had no choice. She "lowballed" me since my salary was $65,000 from my previous NYC local employment for nearly seven years. My duties include verifying and auditing employee travel expense reports and applying LM2 schedule for accurate coding using SAP Concur software and processing travel-related vouchers on Microsoft Dynamics XL formerly Solomon Edwards software. I was grateful to learn two new software SAP Concur and Microsoft Dynamics. I loved data entry processing travel related vouchers since it keeps me busier than verifying expense reports which caused me to doze off occasionally. Travel Accounting manager TB I thought I worked well with signed my weekly timesheets mostly. This racist Travel Accounting supervisor JF was and is arrogant and indifferent toward temp employee as a Black male and normally out of the office a lot leaving less work for me to do. JF and I were not on the best terms. The other four other Travel Accounting employees trained me a certain way to verify and audit expense reports. I explained to him during two performance evaluations September 17 and November 1 for the reason for my swift delivery and attempted to avoid careless errors and I acknowledged my breakdown to him and to TB. JF applauded my data entry and admin related work with limited and no errors. I expressed oftentimes sitting at my desk unproductive and idle for a long time whether I am working slow or fast. He and TB admitted about some down times which expense reports aren't coming regularly. Staffing agency RHI sent a black woman temp to handle back logs for both Vietnamese permanent employees out of the office in late October. She and I share the same birthday, and she has extensive accounting background including travel accounting experience from a large NW DC university. JF asked me to train her on processing travel expense vouchers and she acted pompous and kept interrupting me in the process. She asked some of the questions repeatedly and cosplaying from making careless mistakes and she did tasks her. She implied JF and another white female temp employee explained the best way opposed to mine so I just ceased training her and talking to her. Their ice was and always colder than mine. I refused to work in a spiritual and gender warfare toxic environment feeling disrespected by her and the co-workers. I am beginning to feel uneasy working with the temp and how she tried to undermine and sabotage me along with JF especially with my 500 staffing assignments are set to expire November 25. I addressed my concerns to TB. Finally, NHG called to inform me Wednesday November 27 to confirm my last day since the Accounting Manager TB and/or JF informed her I was "frustrated" with the lack of consistent and regular work and my refusal to accept permanent offer since they pay once a month according to TB and other employees. Also, I refused to work in a toxic environment feeling disrespected by HR, cafeteria staff, "raccoons" security, and many union employees.

It was an architect out of New York, Parson Brinckerhoff, whom made the flawed design. It is not the responsibility of the General Contractor on ANY project to eat the cost of a design flaw in architectural designs provided by a third party outside of their control. Try doing that crap to a general contractor renovating your house when you provided the designs for them to complete. They will tell you to go pound sand.

This company was contracted to build a simple transit center in Silver Spring. Construction began…read morein 2007. It is now 2013. It should not take over seven years to build a parking structure. To add to that, it should not take over seven years to build something that is not structurally safe at the cost of over $100 million. This building is an eyesore and a huge problem for downtown Silver Spring as it is wasted space. No one can use it. I mean, even if Montgomery County commissioned a sculpture made entirely from shit, citizens could at least be thankful for high-concept art. Here, we've got nothing...The only logical reaction to the Silver Spring Transit Center is saying to yourself, "I did not know a concrete building was capable of rotting from the inside-out, much like an elderly, gassy dog." The worst part about this debacle is that WMATA, the transit agency who would actually take control of the facility states that the building is not up to their standards. To put that into perspective, WMATA thinks it is acceptable to let people who are high operate their vehicles and oversee safety! An entity who sets the bar notoriously low does not find this building up to snuff! Foulger-Pratt built this pile of organized rubble, but has not taken any responsibility for its faults. I wouldn't trust this company as far as I could throw it.
