They called after almost a full week of working saying he can't return to work, due to paperwork they needed. They built him up, just to let him down. They dropped the ball on this one and it was a very bad way to do business. It's negligence on their part, that can lead to legal repercussions.

    This temp agency mostly specializes in warehouse and manufacturing work. They on occasion have a…read morefew clerical positions but not enough where they could compare to more well known temp agencies like Manpower or Randstad. Most of the assignments they have are low paying where they pay in the 9 to 11 dollars an hour range. If you got forklift experience, that will open up doors to better paying positions but if you don't, there's a lot less available. I feel this temp agency is a decent choice for people looking for entry level work to meet their short term goals but if people are trying to find a career, go elsewhere. Alpha usually will at least be upfront and honest about whether the job will be temp to permanent or not and you'll always know how much it pays before you accept. They will try to give you temp assignments until a more permanent one comes up but sometimes that means you might end up being sent to work at 3 different places during the same week. You'd be surprised how many assignments they had that would only last a few days (or even just one day). Often assignments end without warning which is a risk all temps face. I thought the recruiters saw you more as a number they could use to receive their commission as opposed to an applicant with real work needs who needs to make a living. They care more about filling out their client needs as opposed to filling out their applicant needs. They do not value your time. The reason they don't is because for a few weeks, they won't bother calling you to see how your doing during slower weeks unless you call them constantly to let them know you're readily available for anything. Some of the staff are very polite though and a few recruiters did the best they could to help me even if the jobs they set me up with were very short term. I liked the receptionists, they were genuinely kind, knowledgeable, and understanding. Also a variety of temp jobs can help one gain work experience for better jobs down the road. The question is though, at what price? One thing that does bother me about this temp agency though is if you used them before and want to come back or be re-activated, you have to come down to their office and fill out paper work and interview with one of the recruiters again. Even if you used them before for an extended period of time which is pretty annoying. They should have all your past work experiences on file and sending an updated resume should be good enough for them. Furthermore, some of the recruiters didn't even remember me when I worked for them not even a year ago. I chose not to use them again for those reasons.
