Manpower — Local services in San Marcos

I was in my third assignment with Manpower. My first two were very successful. Unfortunately, my third one wasn't a good one and ended up being let go. I was supposed to get a call from my recruiter to notify me that my assignment was terminated but never did. Someone had to go to the job I was at to get me and and tell me that I had been fired since my recruiter never called me. I was told that my recruiter told the person who spoke to me that she indeed did call me but couldn't get a hold of me, which was a total lie. She was rude when she talked to me about me being let go and did not seem to believe me when I said I was never notified about my dismissal. They said they would help me to find another job but never did. I was so discouraged to learn that Manpower apparently has me in their black list since they have helped me with jobs in the past. Unprofessional people took over ...

If you want a staffing agency that won’t find you a job or will offer you jobs and then change their mind, this is the one for you! They don’t keep up with people’s assignments, they couldn’t even tell me what I’d be doing where I was placed, and they never call you when they say they’re going to. I got placed at Landsberg Orora, a company that never hires on and is ran like a sweatshop. Landsberg ended my assignment and almost 2 weeks later ManPower has done nothing for me. Luckily I went to PrideStaff and they found me an assignment the next day. Seriously don’t waste your time at ManPower. Lastly, this would be a 3 star review, but Raquel at ManPower asked me to leave a good review to make them look better on google. So that brings it down to 1 star for me. Again, don’t work with ManPower unless you want to...

I have had a great experience with Manpower. Raquel called me about a position on a Wednesday morning, I got an interview that afternoon, and started work the following Monday. This saved me when I was scrambling to find another job after getting laid off. The job pays well and is within walking distance of where I live. I'm sure I may have just gotten very lucky with this situation, but I couldn't be happier, and Manpower did a great job arranging all the HR paperwork for me to start right away. My paychecks are very prompt, sometimes arriving just a day after my timecard is completed. It's also nice this agency has a local office so you can put a face to the people who send your checks! I don't typically write reviews, but I wanted to send a genuine thank you to Raquel and...
