Congratulations Westaff! So far the worst job I've ever had.
Pros
1. My coworkers and the front desk admin were absolutely fantastic, got me through the day. People on your same level are very supportive of you and clearly want your success. You feel as if you are part of a team! 2. There is an opportunity for good commission on top of your base salary if you hustle. This was very encouraging and pushed me forward! 3. Many of the associates I placed on assignment were very pleasant to work with and I formed great relationships with them. 4. Ditto to above, but with clients. 5. CEO of the company is absolutely lovely. Fantastic individual and I wish he had a heavier hand in management decisions.
Cons
1. Manage is unapproachable, extremely two-faced, and tyrannical. If you are passionate about being micro-managed to an extent you never thought humanly possible, Westaff is definitely the place for you! As someone who typically can judge character very well, the management is so extremely two-faced I can't keep track of if they genuinely like or care about anyone depending on the day of the week. 2. Understaffed with crushing expectations. Constant and overwhelming pressure like you will never know in your life, actually led to me starting to experience severe anxiety symptoms on a daily basis. 3. Management will insult your intelligence and act like they know everything about you when they know little or nothing. I was told I need to work on my organization and time management skills and they were not up to par, when in reality anyone who knows me on a social or familial basis would laugh at this suggestion, those are my greatest strengths which I have demonstrated mastery of time and time again in other positions. 4. Constantly working off hours or on weekends. 5. As a recruiter, why am I dealing with worker's comp issues on my own??? 6. Did I mention the atrocious management? Yawn.
