I tried working as a temp for this office, but found the people and company treated me like crap. I came in to interview and register, and the original 2 people I met (1 from Officeteam, 1 from Accountemps) were engaging in the interview, but turned out to be all fluff. The job market was still bad, so I'm not saying anything about not getting a position through them - even after 6 months, and being submitted to maybe 4 positions by the Officeteam division. The Accountemps recruiter said he would try to get me something in accounting, which my bachelor's is in - he never even tried to, or contact me one time with a job lead, ever.
The worst of it came about 6 months after the interview when I tried working with a new recruiter (I hadn't met in person). Really rude, a few times when he picked up my calls he would immediately hang up on me. A real joking, unprofessional, adolescent attitude getting off on harassing/trolling me with voicemails about jobs, then when I returned the call, he would hang up on me.
Had a problem with the Westboro Officeteam location as well. Before the bad job market they were able to get me temp jobs. They put you out at $10. an hour for positions that don't entirely fit the job description they give you. It's most likely a $15. an hour job on the client side. Who is pocketing the difference? One time I got a not-so-good review by some company after an assignment (which was their problem for not training me properly). The Officeteam recruiter said he could find me work again, but this time at $7.25 an hour. That's a terrible way to treat someone in their work/career, bringing them down on a personal level like that (not just pay-wise). Where does the $2.75 an hour difference go? Corruption? Stay far away, they treat employees like crap! read more
