Pros

I honestly cannot come up with a single positive thing to say about my experience with StaffMark. After relocating across the company, I learned of a local employer that pays well above the local average and decided to go speak with them. They told me that they were in need of help and that they thought I would be a good person to bring on board, but that they did all of their entry level hiring through StaffMark. I was to go and put in my application with them and do my drug test and that they would request StaffMark send me through. Unfortunately, StaffMark refused to place me with this company. Instead they repeatedly made offers of jobs paying less than $10/hr. When I told them that I had come in specifically for placement with this employer (at their request), I was told that per their company policy they could not place me there because I had not been willing to take these other jobs.

Cons

Very unprofessional, rude staff. Constantly lying to employees.

Pros

They offer health, dental, vision, life, disability insurance as a temp. If not hired on by company within first 180 days, they start giving you PTO and Holiday pay. Hiring process is extremely quick and easy. First place I never needed a resume to work at. Background check is easy to pass as long as you don’t have a violent criminal history. Can work up to 4 hours overtime at my job site every day except Saturdays they aren’t open but sometimes the offer overtime hours on that day if there is a need for it/enough people to work for it. Ability to advance in the company quickly into new roles if interested and showing promise.

Cons

My work assignment is in a non-climate controlled manufacturing facility. Long hours on your feet.

Pros

There are strong individual contributors across the organization who genuinely care about their clients and candidates. The business itself has market opportunity, especially in industrial staffing, and there is potential to build something meaningful with the right strategy and execution.

Cons

Leadership lacks alignment between stated goals and actual execution. There is a clear disconnect between the vision communicated during hiring and the day-to-day expectations in role. In some instances, employees are placed in situations where they are asked to engage in practices that raise ethical and, at times, legal concerns. This creates an uncomfortable and high-risk working environment, particularly for those who prioritize compliance and professional integrity. Despite discussions around evolving the business toward higher-margin, relationship-driven growth, the operating model continues to default back to transactional “fill and bill” activity. Efforts to introduce more strategic structure, improve efficiency, and modernize workflows are often dismissed or labeled as unnecessary. There is also inconsistency in how policies and code of conduct are applied, which creates a perception of unfair and selective enforcement. This impacts trust, morale, and overall team performance. Additionally, there is an over-reliance on outdated sales approaches that do not reflect how modern workforce solutions are built or sustained in today’s market.
