Pros

Staffmark acquired a number of businesses, and they left some of them alone for a while - it was the best of both worlds. But that didn't last very long.

Cons

Management turnover - leadership comes and goes on a yearly basis. The people that built the company all left by 2018-2019 or so, and they've just been plugging people in since. High-level leadership straight up left in a group to join a competitor, leaving an entire market without any leadership. Unethical behavior from upper management - I watched multiple people get fired just weeks before the people that fired them left for other opportunities. Multiple leaders worked together to resign at the same time (and go to a competitor), leaving everyone else completely screwed over. Lack of salary increases - I'd say I received positive reviews, but I never received one in the 5+ years I was there. I did run multiple high-performing offices and received the Diamond award for being the highest performing location in the country, but every single raise request was denied. Absolute disaster when it comes to back office support - people not getting paid for weeks on end, complete lack of urgency or knowledge from support teams to try and rectify an issue. I was calling VPs within the organization at 7pm on a Friday just to get ANYONE to respond to an email or answer a phone call - otherwise people would just ignore you.

Pros

Staffmark made the hiring process simple and efficient. The communication was clear, and the recruiters were professional, friendly, and responsive. They helped me find a great assignment at Yamada and continued to follow up after I started working to make sure everything was going well. I appreciate their support, professionalism, and commitment to helping their employees succeed.

Cons

At this time, I have not experienced any significant disadvantages. Overall, my experience with Staffmark has been very positive, and I appreciate the support and professionalism they have provided.

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.
