The first staffing that couldn't find me a 3rd shift employment here in Minnesota. I can pass the background n drug test. I have experience in different positions/ bilingual/ and have a A.degree but they still couldn't find anything for me. Theres alot of miscommunication at Award staffing, you call and nobody picks up and when they do pick up they say I'ma call you back in 15min but ends up being more even days.i had better luck with my first recruiter.

During my time here at Award Staffing Temp Agency, one thing I did like was that they were able to quickly board me on and find me a job. However I was not happy with how they managed my on boarding. In my offer letter, I was promised a wage amount that myself & the agency both agreed on. When I received my pay stub I noticed on the statement that it was not what was presented on my offer letter.

I reached out to Award Staffing Temp Agency and CPI Card Group regarding this matter. Both parties were very unprofessional, expressing that they had no idea why I was offered that amount and unsure where that number came from. In addition, not only was the pay stated on my offer letter, it was stated on the job description as well. I was told that even though it was the Temp Agency's mistake, that it will not be my pay amount that was promised to me.

I feel cheated and discriminated that I was offered a lower pay, even though I interviewed better than the other 2 interviewees. I would not recommend working through this Temp Agency or company. I hope that they learn from this mistake, and that they learn to do the right thing going forward.

I talked to Patty, and we didn't get far. First of all, she talks way too fast. I had to tell her to slow down, because it got to the point where she was trying to guess what I was going to say. And, she made a point to made note of my "real name". I told her my "legal name", but she had her own logic to try to drill in, with is condescending, and heading into transphobic territory. The name someone gives you is their "real name", Patti.

Stop going out of your way to offend people. But, I don't think Patti works at the branch. I don't where her office is, but she she works for these people, and that makes me not want to work for them.

Award Staffing found me a job within just a few days of signing up. I worked 7 months at that job with them until I got hired on. I could have got hired a lot sooner but waited patiently for the job I wanted. Never had any problems with my pay. Highly recommend!

When I applied for the position I want, I thought I will get hired. But they got all my info, even i took the test regular and the special. I did them perfectly. But I didn't hear from them. That day the big lady say something saying "he doesn't have an experience. " Her job should be just pass me as a candidate to the hiring manager. Let them decide. I told them what kind of position I want my first choice and second.

But after lo g time they phoned me for very different job position. When they took my info they look like they offer job immediately. But I would like to thank Anderw for his respect and excellent job.
