This OfficeTeam staff, including the manager, treated me as less than human by far. My initial "interview" consisted of one of their staff asking me about 3 extremely generic questions like"Full time or part time?" I was in their office for no more than 6 minutes once the 'interview' started. I wondered how they could possibly place me in a compatible job after such a lame interview. I felt like a number.
I didn't hear from them for about 6 weeks after that, I ended up calling them back. Then within 2 weeks I was placed in a job that was so beneath my skills it was discouraging & demeaning. I was previously a Marketing Director, Directors for various companies, Head Trainer, Teacher, and was placed in a Receptionist position. If OfficeTeam had actually read my resume, they would have known this job was clearly no match for me, my personality or all of my work experience which is all on the managerial level. Plus it paid horribly. The pay was an insult. I only took it trying to have an open mind, thinking there may be other opportunities with the company and immediately wondered why they placed me there. I decided to try to be as positive as possible and wait until I had time to search for another job on my own.
I was then let go for the fact that I was vomiting at work one day and had to leave at 2:30 on a Friday when my boss was already gone and had just commented how Friday's are so laid-back with "not much going on". I did all the work in advance while feeling horrible that needed to be done that day. She forced me to stay there for over 20 minutes after I told her I was vomiting. Then proceeded to come in, tell me to forward the phones, and not look at me saying "see you Monday". OfficeTeam staff called me 45 mins. later to say I was let go for 'excessive absences'. (I never called out once.) The OfficeTeam staff who called said I sounded horrible and to 'get better, don't worry, we'll still work with you, call me Monday." Following that I called her twice and was told by her "I need the key back for the company." She was incredibly cold & curt on the phone. I told her I was going to be out of town for a few days and would look for them when I returned. She then left 2 harrassing messages on my phone and decided it was appropriate to call a family member I had listed for Emergency Medical Contact information. That info. is to be used when I am an employee, for that purpose. Unacceptable. Not to mention ridiculous. The family member she chose to call and bother who lives 300 miles away also has my handicapped Father to help 24/7. Then when I called to ask why my family member was contacted regarding a key that was the immature manager's fault I even had, I was called back by the OfficeTeam manager and threated for calling to ask that. Last I checked, freedom of speech was still a right in this country.
Absolutely unbelievable lame excuse for a 'company'. These people have the professionalism of 3 year olds. read more
