I tried this agency and was assisted by the staffing manager Brett Stockstill..THE WORST. If you…read moreget assisted by him be prepared for a lot of miscommunication and someone who isn't truly trying to help you find work that best suits you but make their commission of filling jobs. He is more interested in filling the position vs making sure the position is a good fit for you. I took the position with Veritiv All American Containers thinking I would be accepting a receptionist position but it turned out to be a position where I filed all day everyday to the point my back started hurting. The company had me filing from a desk chair on low file cabinets and when I inquired about a stool I was offered by the company lead Sandy that could be purchased she had to backpedal because the manager, Brett Pierson first said budgeting issues then said because I was a temp.When I asked the manager Brett Pierson myself he acted as though he didn't say he wouldn't approve the stool. Of course Brett Stockstill with Randstad, trying to keep the position filled for the agency purchased a stool ignoring my requests of being removed from the assignment. After the situation with the company not fulfilling a reasonable accommodation for me without the help of the agency I really became uninterested in the work and the company. The manager of the company, Brett Pierson was extremely on a high horse and bothered me everytime I used my heater with unwanted passive aggressive comments. I was initially told I could use a heater with the other staff as long as I purchased my own. He became harassing and aggressive when he would come in to work and I would be using my heater to the point they created a time schedule when staff could use their space heaters to satisfy when he was hot or cold. My desk of course was stationed under a vent that constantly had cold air coming down on me and when I brought attention to the vent and how first a schedule was created and then I was forced to turn off my heater with the manager practically talking to me like a child in a unprofessional manner I was the problematic person. When I spoke to the other temp who recently became permanent he told me he had the same issues with the manager until he moved desks which was out of the managers door view of him bothering. Other staff also complained stating he was a new manager not the best on managing properly and in time I would adjust to his behavior but the environment for me was uncomfortable. When I brought the situation again to Brett Stockstill he stalled when I asked to remove me once again making it my 3rd time requesting to be removed. He waited until I finished my shift to tell me the assignment was terminated by the company which was absurd being I was resigning from the assignment and called him that entire day asking him to remove me vs me walking out. When I spoke to him he gave me excuses of he misunderstood and that he even failed to mention to the company when they called terminating the assignment that I, the employee was no longer interested and had been requesting removal and it was already taken care of. In my opinion, he should've made that call to the company when I let him know I was no longer interested and removed me immediately but instead he stalled and avoided my calls. It became a hassle getting my personal belongings and still didn't get all of my belongings though small belongings. I do not suggest working with Randstad especially BRETT STOCKSTILL and wouldn't recommend working with VERTIV ALL AMERICAN CONTAINERS either unless they get a manager other than BRETT PIERSON. I left this position super frustrated as I did a lot of busy work and the position advertised otherwise when I ended up mainly filing because they were years behind and labeled every blue moon. I even later found out from another employee the side projects of cleaning and busy work were assigned to the Lead Sandy who was passing it to me though it was my work load. I also must mention my car got hit twice in their company parking lot from their big rig trucks coming/going for shipments. I asked another employee about it and he was well aware and said it happens and had happened before.

It's my first experience in many years with a staffing agency and it is good for me to realize what is involved in signing on with an agency now. Years ago, I got a position through an agency - temp to perm - and stayed with that firm for many years. Then I went to grad school and have been applying for professional jobs at various libraries. Expect a big investment of time on the applicant's part--almost two hours to deal with all the paperwork (online) and that didn't include skills assessments (because I had covered that in a previous interview with Hayward). So I would expect an even longer investment of time if you are simply looking for office temp work. But when you're unemployed, I guess it is worth it. If you don't have a computer and need to use the public library computers, for example, you will need many extensions of time! But I think AppleOne will let you use their workstation. There are a lot of work-related protocols, rules, and policies that they have to cover, and my reps did it very well. For all the time that we spend on the application process, I am sure an equal amount of time is spent at their end covering all the legal details, and making sure the future employee knows all the rules. I appreciate their very efficient Web timecard system and the weekly paycheck with direct deposit. I work per diem also with City of Oakland and they have NOT automated their timecard system for temp workers. On the other hand, they do direct hire and the temporary part-time worker is represented by the same union as regular workers, and we get better pay. I understand that a smaller city might have to go this route, though. I am interested in using my librarian skills at some outside-of-the-box jobs that are occasionally advertised, but I would have to educate the Apple One rep about which companies and job titles these would be. So I'm not sure I could get job search help here for professional jobs. I got the impression that the temp jobs are mostly administrative assistant/clerical/receptionist type positions. Note: for first time visitors to the Pleasanton office, a map or diagram of where the office is located within an office/shopping complex, would be very helpful. Unless that is part of the assessment test!

There is so much inconsistency in leadership, (file per file vs. file per box) then to switch to re-doing data entry because the brown nosers decided with the client it would be a better way to enter the info. Seemed more like job security if you ask me. And if IF you get injured because you are expected to lift file boxes above shoulder level on palettes repeatedly (I lifted a total of 1 ton of boxes over a week period). I had let my supervisor know that I hurt my back. She did not tell me to go to the doctor, leave work early nothing. It wasn't til I went to ER on Sat, and told her again that I hurt myself. She told me to go see their doctor the following Monday (why she didn't do that on Friday when I notified her, which of course she claimed I did not notify her immediately, even co-workers knew I hurt myself) Not only did I injure my back, they expected me to return, which I didn't. Had to get an attorney, only to get misely money that to this day, 2 years later I am still dealing with back & hip pain. I was told I may have this pain the rest of my life! So, if you temp working for them, ok, but keep it at that, do not get hired by them. Hard work means jack, it's who you know & brown nose with. Heaven forbid you rub them the wrong way, they will target you, pull the boxes you keyed, say it was keyed wrong, go back and fix it (I never had any problems til this one supervisor got on our shift) Terrible employer!

If you're considering working for this place here are several reasons to consider before you apply…read moreor accept an offer from the data entry department especially if you're black or even worse, a black woman. For starters, the first mistake they made was the change of supervisors. They went from a solid supervisor who seemed to be very level headed and fair to a real snake. I started back in December and the new snake has only been in power for about 3 weeks or but it didn't take very long at all to realize this snake is very bit of shady. It oozes off of her like sparkles off diamonds & common sense isn't so common with her. She's one of those snakes that is so fake and so phony she doesn't realize that the more she tries to mask her shadiness (& she tries so hard), the more it shows & she wasted absolutely no time to start 'cleaning house'. She's fired 3, 4 including myself, people in her short reign who all just 'happen' to be black women. Ironic? Coincidence? I doubt it. It appears this snake has a bit of a racial complex & does a pathetic job trying to hide it. Rumor around the office is she has a bad habit of making comments about cultural issues when it comes to any kind of conflict that involving a black woman. I guess the only time us black women speak up is to be confrontational. Not because we had a point to stand on like continuing to ask why is there no training being given for this work? Or why do workers get blamed for following instructions OR how do you expect people to do their jobs when the directions are not clear from the beginning. The boxes are always mislabeled, the job specs we're supposed to read never go with what's supposed to be really done and how come the 'click' (a.k.a: management) is aware of this yet nothing ever gets done about it? Those are the kinds of questions that get you fired - as far as black women go anyway. Management or the click have the audacity to make announcements like, "we know some of the boxes are labeled incorrectly, but we need you guys to really get things done anyway OR they say, "read your job specs! Read your job specs" to guide you on what to do, but after reading it over and over you still have no clue what's going on, not because you can't understand, but because IT NEVER APPLIES TO THE BOX or what you should really be doing. After reading it several times & if you're lucky enough, you're able to pry one of the members of the click away from their very important business of gossiping and giggling about other people around the room while they 'act' like they're 'so busy' to help you, IF they help you & never not without making it obvious that you are seriously bothering them by expecting them to DO THEIR JOBS, by the time they explain or find out (along with you) what's going on, it sure as hell doesn't have a thing to do with the job spec they've been telling you to read thru. How do they expect people to get things done when the directions aren't or even relevant to the box at all? And don't get me started on the conflicting information that comes from people who are supposed to be on the same 'team' or in this case the same 'click'. Ask two people the same question about the same job and 9 times out of 10 you're going to get two conflicting answers & heaven forbid a box gets keyed incorrectly. I could go on and on about this twilight zone/looney tunes place that's supposed to be a professional business but I'll save the rest of that of that for my next review. My advice is think twice before you get caught up with this place, there's an awful lot of shady business that goes on inside those walls. & if you're a black woman, consider this a warning and step with caution. There are a few exception individuals on the helping team that none of this applies to, they were actually really friendly and cool to work with, there's about 3 of them, a Black woman, a Latin woman and an Asian man, they know who they are & they were really cool to work with. There's another man who is a part of the 'click' by association but he would actually help you out whenever he could and he'd never bring a bad attitude like some of the people in his click, with him or try to push you off onto the next person. He was ok too. As for the rest of them, and the new snake of a manager, these people made going to work much like them, a real pain in the ass. The one good thing about this job, the hours 4:45am to 1:15pm. Pretty sweet hours.
