Critical: Professionalism, Responsiveness Tell me why you are such a great company? You only help people that you want. You say one thing and do another. I didn't even have a interview. Sorry that I don't have a working phone that should not stop you from helping people get a job. The worst place ever stay away they will not help you at all.

I have been calling in and "checking in for a position at this place for over 9 years. I called them on 5/24/2019 and was told that they pick and choose who they want to send out. I was then told that "if we haven't sent you anywhere in over 9 years I would just give up!" I was astonished and at a loss of words because I have great experience.

The receptionist is horrible and has no manners I left for quite a time and upon my return she remains the same rude as ever pretending she is on the phone conducting business but laughing and apparently having a personal conversations. Corporate is a good service without a need for HER bad business she is spoiling the good business us as employees try to provide i dont appreciate her candor it is very unwelcoming people dont need that when looking for gainful employment. I see many apologies but why would the business apologize for a person that cant handle their position.she should be fired!

Corporate Services, Inc. is a great place to work. It is very rewarding to work for a company who is able to help so many companies and put so many people to work. I love that there is so much opportunity for growth here and I get to learn something new everyday.

Read about this opportunity on Craigslist. They told me to come in anytime from 8-5 during the work week. Application was simple, staff was great, what they were and about made sense to me. They showed me the process and gave them a call to make myself available and was given an immediate position. My favorite temp service I've been with yet.
