It was a fantastic experience and I learned a great deal about this industry and was the stepping stone I need for my next full time career. I would highly recommend CSI for: 1. People looking for professional and flexible temporary work 2. People looking to explore Leasing and Property Management as a potential career. There is the possibility of moving from temp to hire in many cases. CSI is a very professional and organized company. They provide great onboarding and support. I worked with Bertrell and have the highest regard for his professionalism, dedication and flexibility to work with my schedule.

After filling out information and providing my resume, a recruiter contacts me to discuss how to best interact with their website. Like, let me do their job for them right? Lol When i asked her to discuss the job description for the search she was running, she admitted that she was not actually calling about a search. Obviously this is a total boiler room style agency with very little professionalism and value add. Total joke, time waster, stay away. If you want to work with a real recruiter i suggest you look elsewhere. Edit to add* I'm upgrading to two stars because the recruiter did actually call on time, and sent good follow up emails which is definitely better than other agencies out there.

From our very first conversation, it was clear that Steven was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in getting the best outcome for my employment matter. He took the time to explain things clearly, answered every question I had, and kept me updated at every step of the process. I always felt like I knew what was happening, which made me feel more comfortable. Not only is Steven amazing at what he does, he is also empathetic and kind. This goes a long way while navigating complex and draining legal processes over months and years. I'd highly recommend Steven, without hesitation.

After being passed around on the phone to a variety of recruiters, I was finally able to speak with a woman named Annie. She basically told me that she couldn't help me find an entry level temp job because I was a "transition employee."

Nice attitude for a company that is THEIR job to help employ people.

It's funny almost every review on here is a bad experience, but they all have something in common,…read morethey probably didn't get placed. Let's get a few things straight, this is a agency. There are hundreds of different agencies in the bay area, and they all provide a service. No company that provides a service will get perfect ratings. People are always easy to say negative things, but how many actually say good things? (This post is a prime example) They're not successful unless they are putting people to work. I'm sure they run into a ton of people every day, is everyone deserving of a job? With unemployment being so low, can anyone honestly say everyone is willing to give it 100% and make a living without an excuse? I contacted Aerotek right out of college, as well as a few other agencies, no names. I was always skeptical about agencies because I always thought it would be temp. I was in contact with all 3. The other agencies had jobs available and wanted me to go to work quickly, which was great! I needed a job. However, I wasn't too interested in the positions they had. Not once did they ask me what my major was, or what I wanted to do. In my mind, it was only going to be temp regardless. Then there was Aerotek, I was assigned to a recruiter, Julio. He was always in constant contact with me, which was surprising. He got to know me, and found out what I liked to do. I met with him at the Alameda office. I went through the back entrance. Everyone was nice and lively, seem like they were a cool office. Julio and I sat down, chatted about me and my hobbies, and my goals and interest. He then presented me with a few opportunities, and gave me the option to chose from. OPTIONS! Who doesn't like options? The other agencies didn't do this. I was blown away from this whole experience, it really changed the way I felt about staffing agencies, but Aerotek overall. I ended up not taking any of the opportunities Julio presented to me. I ended up taking a position with another company internally. But still to this day, I have nothing but respect and admiration for Aerotek. They left a great impression on me, and I would not hesitate to contact them if I ever were looking for another position. Julio actually still reaches out to me every now and then to see how I'm doing. He actually linked one of his partners with my brother, and got him in a job at a local hospital. The service I've received from day one has been amazing. Don't let all these negative reviews turn you away. I did my research, and Aerotek is one of the top staffing agencies in the industry. Not everyone is going to get a job there, there are some lazy individuals out there that won't be worth anyone's time. If you're looking for a agency, I would HIGHLY recommend giving this one a try. I wasn't disappointed.

Then after I pay and turn in the receipt for payment, I was told by a brand new counselor (who just got account access) that day, there aren't enough funds to cover my reimbursement.

Even talked to the director and sent to two emails with a recap of my experience. No replies!
