Active Staffing Services - New York, NY — Local services in New York

For the most part I've had good experiences with them. Started out by going to the office in queens where they sent me to a few places as a temp before finally shunting me to Fresh Direct.

And this is the not a the first time I experienced something like this working for active staffing when I worked for the company Chefd in 2018 I experienced discrimination and sexual harassment and was fired right after it happened as a retaliation and that was my first job with active staff, the hours active staffing say you’ll work and the hours the company say never me on point. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all especially if you young female them male warehouse workers be plotting. Plus active be messing up people check and a pay because of communication error’s between them and companies. I reported the situation I went through and they tried to place me in another company that was just as bad. Would not recommend at all for...
