Penmac

After my bad experience with Kelly Services and Focus, I turned here. I had contacted them before when I was in Iowa, but the lady I spoke with over the phone was no longer there. They treat you like a number, not a person trying hard to find work. They sent me on 2 assignments. One was at ROI, which is Mercy’s warehouse, and that was a mad house. Some folks there were working 20 hour shifts, then expected to be back to work the next day for their regular shift. This ended with them telling Penmac that I never returned to work, which was a lie. The second assignment was at Mammoth Inc, which I did end up getting hired on full time at (unbeknownst to me, this factory would be shut down 2 years later). Like I said, you’re just a number to these folks. At the end of the year come tax time, I had to fight to get my tax forms from them. They wanted me to come get them myself rather than them mailing them. After explaining my work schedule and their office hours did not coincide, the girl on the other end of the line copped an attitude with me, and acted like I was bothering her, then told me to give her my address. They finally sent my tax forms after I threatened to call the IRS on them. I guess they are a good tool to get your foot in the door somewhere, but they are unprofessional, and you’re not a human being to them, you’re just a number to them, and a dollar sign to the corporate office. Use them at your own risk.
