I've worked with a few other temp agencies over the years and this is by far the worst place I've ever worked. I was once sent to a job and when I arrived there I spent 20 mins in a security office to be told that Prodigy had never confirmed the shift with them and I wasn't needed.
Then after working somewhere else through them they decided to NOT PAY ME for almost a full month. I called about it several times and didn't hear back and when I finally stood up for myself about it she (Kim) was rude to me (as if just not paying someone for a shift they worked on the 6th until after the 26th is acceptable.) A voicemail was left that I would be paid on the 26th and I still wasn't paid on the 26th.
When I called back I was obviously frustrated and Kim hung up on me. Kim would always tell me that she had no work for me, and then when I would say "okay, I'll find work at another temp agency" she would put me on hold for multiple seconds and then miraculously have a job for me! I called back again and Julie answered the phone to me being VERY angry (I had just been hung up on) and was so calm with me. She immediately said I'll look into it right now, and explained that it takes time for the back to process sometimes. (Which I still don't understand since I should have been paid on the 12th, but at least she told me something and was nice.) Talking to Kim is like talking to a high school girl. She doesn't explain things...she basically was just saying "too bad" and wasn't willing to look into anything or answer any questions for me. Julie is the only one who seems to really know how to do her job, and isn't petty and spiteful.
Long story short: If you're out of work and you need some quick cash, do not trust prodigy to give you real jobs, pay you without a hassle, or even tell you the truth about what work they have. Try Randstad or Kelly or probably anywhere else and save yourself the headache. read more
