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.

Straight out of undergrad, they were able to place me on a temporary assignment that lasted for about 2 months, and then when that ended, I was placed in a more long-term admin front office role. When nothing else worked to put my degree to use, I could count on Elite to get placed somewhere, and luckily for me, they seem to have great connections all throughout the DMV so I didn't have to wait too long before I would hear back with a potential opportunity. If you're still in the search for a new temp agency, I definitely recommend Elite be your next (and last) stop ;)

As for more Senior positions, they place receptionists and AAs as well as EAs and others. Not many clerical slots. The name says it all: their temp pool comes from their full-time candidates.

And they're adamant about NO ATTACHMENTS if you send your resume in via an email.

This email appears to be an automatic response once I applied for the position on his website: Adam Sidel asidel@brainstorm-resources.com Tue, Sep 5, 3:47PM to Adam I'm reaching out because you formerly applied with Brainstorm Creative Resources in Washington, DC for a Product Design role with one of the firm's clients. We're currently looking to identify an interactive design professional who could be interested in taking on a Figma Production Specialist role for at least the next six months. This fully remote (work-from-home) opportunity is being offered with either full-time hours (40 hours/week) OR part-time hours (30 hours/week) - it would be up to you. We'd like to talk with qualified individuals interested in either situation. This is not a design role, but it requires a depth of knowledge with and experience working in Figma that is commonly found in UX/UI designers. So, if you're a Figma pro and you're interested in learning more about a role that could keep you fully employed for the next six months, I encourage you to briefly scan the opportunity summary directly below and then click through to review our complete role description and brief job application. Adam then sent me a message on LinkedIn, on 9/6/23, stating: Adam Sidel 11:50 AM Scott... Thanks for applying for the Figma-focused role that I mentioned in the e-mail I sent you yesterday. Can you set aside a few minutes to chat about the opportunity tomorrow morning? Anytime between 9:30am and 12:30pm ET would work for me. I then spoke with Adam over the phone on 9/7/23 when he provided more details about the potential job role. He stated that either 1) He would get back to me directly 2) The potential company would reach out to me directly or 3) Adam would send me an email for me to speak with the hiring manager at the potential company. He said that he would contact me with an update the following Tuesday by end of day and if I didn't hear from him by then to email him. I then emailed him: Scott Sep 12, 2023, 4:34PM (7 days ago) to Adam Good afternoon Adam, Just checking up on the status of the Figma Production Specialist position at [potential company].

When I wasn't available when she wanted me to be for a Zoom interview, she was suddenly unresponsive and passed the assignment to someone else (which is perfectly fine), but was not forthcoming about that at all and instead said that the company no longer needed help with the project. The dishonesty speaks to a lack of professionalism and integrity, and the recruiter Maggie simply could have said that the company needed someone sooner. While temporary agencies have their clients' interest (businesses) first and foremost in mind, that does not mean job seekers and temporary employment candidates need to be lied to. After all, candidates are The Choice's and other temporary agencies source of revenue. In light of this, I write to let others know that candidates deserve to be treated with respect, and to job seekers: advocate for yourself when employment practices are not transparent. As someone else mentioned, the glowing reviews are curious and my previous not glowing review was flagged (most likely by The Choice). I highly suggest consulting other sources such as Glassdoor and Google for more holistic, balanced insight to inform your decision of whether to work with them.
