I followed their protocol for filling out time sheets and was paid appropriately. I received a bonus after 500 hours worked and would have received more benefits after 1000 hours worked if the assignment had not offered me a full-time position. I worked a total of two assignments with this agency and would highly recommend them. They were flexible and willing to understand if you turn down an assignment. Important note: Be flexible! My long term assignment was offered to me on 14 hours notice based on another temp employee quitting. Six months later, I was offered a full-time benefit earning position!

I applied everywhere I could think of and basically they might as well have laughed me out the door in a lot of those places. Finally after talking it over with some friends I decided to start applying through Temp Agencies. I signed up for the online portal on Dolphin and within an hour of submitting my resume and information they contacted me to come in for an interview. After the interview and testing had been completed Wendy pulled me into her office to go over what I was looking for as far as a career went. When I began going over it all she told me they had the perfect positiion for me already picked out and all I had to do was ace the interview. I did. I was hired on as a full timer through them and have had great success in my endeavors of the job market thanks to them!

I have been entertaining the idea of switching careers and jobs and was given a little nudge when Chase from SNI contacted me with a potential opportunity. From the beginning, Chase was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He contacted me and explained the opportunity, and then set up a meeting for us to meet in person, even offering to come out and meet me closer to where I lived. I ended up going out to his office which was fine. The Collanade building is beautiful. The staff at SNI wonderful, thorough and friendly. Chase did an excellent job at explaining what the potential job would be, coordinating,communicating and really going above and beyond what people do. I would definitely recommend reaching out to SNI if looking for a new job opportunity. Everyone I dealt with was great.

From the initial contact…read morewith the recruiter, to placement in a position, the onboarding process, and the continuing contact with both the relationship manager (Brittney Baldridge) and recruiter (Laura Coon) throughout the contract; I could not be more pleased with my experience with Insight Global. Brittney and Laura were in regular contact with me throughout a difficult initial placement and worked on my behalf to quickly resolve the issue, reassigning me under a different senior manager within the same company. The support, professionalism, and diplomacy of the Insight Global representatives during a difficult situation was invaluable. As an active duty military spouse, I am accustomed to moving frequently and reinventing myself to match my skill set with the needs of the local area. I often partner with an employment agency to assist with job placement. Among the many different locations we have lived in and the different agencies I have contracted with, I find Insight Global Minneapolis to be the best at the service they provide.

Pros: Insight Global was my first time working with a…read moreconsulting company and contract opportunity since I started IT 15 years ago. Truth be told, I was not only initially reluctant to take a contract job but also skeptical to work with a company that was new to the Minneapolis\St Paul area. However, my gamble to "try something new" proved to be a success. The culture of Insight Global is very pleasant; the staff is friendly and they seem to genuinely care about not only their contractors but their clients as well. The contractor benefits are the same provided to actual Insight Global employees and the pay is very competitive. Assuming I continue contract type work, I will definitely make Insight Global my preferred staffing firm. Cons: No paid time off accrual and an initial wait for benefits. Both of which seem standard for those doing contract type work.

For the past two years, our tax person is never available outside of tax season, which leaves others not familiar with our tax account to respond. And the responses have been short, rude, and non-effective. As a direct non-response from my tax person and no one at Fax Tax willing to genuinely assist, I was fined fees this year because of the lack of willingness to assist and not providing with proper information!! We have a history of stellar tax payments. We will be finding a new tax service.

If I were an artist, this is the first place I'd go--especially around tax time. What I love about Fox tax is that they truly live what they do. Not only do they help artists on the business logistical side, but also in promotion as the space also functions as a gallery. Stop by an opening and you will be pleasantly surprised by the high quality artist on display. More than likely beating will be spinning and drinks will be available for a nominal donation. When I was there on Friday, there were lots of new parents as well, which was nice to see. Thankfully they left the strollers at home and just had the kids in the baby carriers. Considering the artist on spotlight was Ink, who is famous for crazy murals around town, I'm sure the kids got an eyeful!
