One of my worst experiences ever

I was sent on an interview through Kelly Services, and later was told I definitely had the job. At the job site, I spent the day reading company literature, and was never given the chance to actually do any work. The person who was supposed to be training me, for the most part ignored me. I later came home to a VM that my assignment had ended. When called my recruiter back the next day, I was told the company felt I was not a "good fit." Fine, but I think these staffing agencies and companies should be more honest about just wanting a second interview or sending people out on non existing jobs. They only seem interested in just gathering as many resumes as possible. A lot of the trouble is I drove all the way out to this company and studied the literature about company procedures in case I'd be tested. The worst part is I turned down another offer. Thanks for nothing, Kelly Services.

Disappointed

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Kelly Service offered me a job at Amerisource Bergen in Rockville MD. This company was non professional and uneducated and unprepared for the large group of people.

Kelly service was not supportive or concerned for the workers that were hire through the agency. The Trainers were rude and uneducated concerning the credentialing process. I reached out to the assigned Kelly representative several times with my concerns with no results. I reassigned the fourth week into the assignment.

I did not completed my last pay sheet, it was prepare by Kelly or Amerisource. I was over paid by 0.50 mins. I am now being harassed for an over payment of $7.02. Kelly Service is one of longest operating temp agency in the US, I am so disappointed in your services.

Very Bad Experience. Thanks for NOTHING Kelly Services!!!!

Worst Experience of my Life!!!

I had the worst experience working with Kelly services. I was working with them for a client and due to a minor issue at work I got a call later that day and they told me that my job is terminated! They didn't even hear about the situation and instead of standing up for their employee, they terminated me! Worst company to work with! I have previously worked with four different staffing agencies and found Kelly Services to be the worst! And even the pay was way too low and the benefits were not good at all. Beware of such staffing agencies in the market. They just work for money!

Poorest ever.

Hired me telling me they needed my experience for a job. The job consisted of palletizing and anything full-time people did not want to do. Im 5ft 2 inches had to palatize bottles full 13 around 6 high and Seven high. The company used you for the rest the day then kelly Temp of Melbourne calls you and says dont show up we are done with that job. I quit a job for this position. I kept calling them telling them to get me a job that my knowledge is worth getting full time. I had to run after my checks and had to deliver the safety gear to the office. They don't even care that i practically had to pay to work for them. Didn't even get 40 hours a week. Now I'm out of a job and I need to put a roof over my child's head. Would not recommend this temp service ever.

The first Kelly Servuce Recruiter I worked with was Michelle and she was Amazing ! Very nice and kept me very informed during the interview and hiring process for my new job at the time. The second Recuriter I worked with Shanell from Kelly Services Branch in Columbia,SC WAS HORRIBLE SHE NEVER RETURNS PHONE CALLS AND I NEVER GOT ONE EMAIL FROM HER ABOUT ANYTHING

Hurt and Embarrassed

One day i was busy working and the recruter came up to me and asked me if i could do something. I told her i wasn't able to it and she proceeded to get real hateful and smart with me in front of the other employees and actually threaten me. It was an embarrassment to me and didn't look good to the other employees. What she did and how she handled it was unprofessional and rude. As far as i know, the recruiter wasn't dealt about the situation. And i never received an apology from her. I will never work for Kelly Services again.

Never calls back from job applications

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I've been applying to jobs from the Cherry Hill, NJ office for 3 years now. I haven't had 1 phone call from them; not a single one.

What do I have to do to get an interview with this people? All the complaining I've done hasn't worked. They obviously don't care about their 2.6 Google rating. I've had bad experiences with job agencies before, but this is the worst one ever.

Who doesn't call a candidate after apply?

No wonder people are having such a hard time finding jobs; it's because of crap agencies like Kelly Services. Do not sign up with this company.

Dude, I got the job on Monday. Then they disappear when I ask them about my pay rate. I haven’t heard from them since.wtf

I fully concur with the above review. I've experienced the same unprofessional atmosphere and lack of effort from Kelly Services in Bergen County NJ.

I almost believe this so-called temp agency is a scam.

Avoid Kelly Services with a passion. They will get you nowhere.

Horrible and heart breaking

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I made it to ramp! I applied for kelly services for years finally getting hired i was soooooo happy. I bust my butt to learn material and pass my test with a 90 so i can move on. While in ramp it rained hard for two days as i live in GA. On a wed my power went out the last hr of my shift, it still rained all night hard by the next morning due to rain my comolex and the whole area around us had a outage. I followed protocol and called every 2 hrs to keep them posted etc. On the day i missed 1 hr we were on the phones so NO material was actually being taught sane as the next day they were answer questions and touching on what they noticed as we took calls. Long story short i missed 1 hr and 1 day due to my power issue that was due to mother nature. I worked sunday and some of monday the following week with no problem. On Monday my phone provided by the job totally went out on me. I was given a ticket number and told i had to log out i wouldnt be paid but it wouldnt count againt me and i should call in everyday with this ticket number until i get the new phone whiv was overnighted supposedly. Tuesday i still had no phone so i called in with that same ticket number which meant off with no pay at 4:30 i get a call from the sup Bob Sharpe saying i had to be let go due to my power going out its considered non technical and i can no longer work for the aple project but i can still be with kelly servies and that can find me another job probably! I was and am so heart broken. I cant pay my bills and my son may not have a christmas because my life depended on that weekly pay so were could survive.

Horrible Recruitors and Client - Troy, MI Office

I was called on a Wednesday about a temp to perm bookkeeping position and told client needed me to start next day. I informed them I had to have 24 hrs notice and started on Friday.

I only accepted the position because it was temp to perm even though it was over an hour drive one way and 35 miles from home. Immediately the job was not what they told me it was and a week later I asked the recruitor Sara Bozin what was going on. She and the account rep Rod Peters strung me along for three weeks and then I was told late Friday afternoon the client supposedly rehired a former employee. The manager at the clients office told me it was never a temp to perm job and they were actively trying to rehire that employee from the beginning.

Kelly lies to get what they want and could care less about the human beings doing the work making their billable hours quotas. To top that off they will not help find me any other work.

I didn't do anything wrong! I will never work with these greedy liars and I will never refer a candidate or employer to them either!

Kelly Services - Recruitment Review from Dearborn, Michigan

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Kelly Services expect you to pass a drug test to work in a Pizza factory but the people in charge of payroll cannot get it right. My first paycheck was sent to the wrong address because my address was entered incorrectly into the Computer, I had to wait 2 weeks until this was rectified so a whole month went by before I received my first Paycheck.

To add insult to injury these incredibly "dopey" careless, couldnt care less bunch of office *** got my 3rd paycheck screwed up where I didnt get my overtime. How can they keep these stupid people on the payroll who continually screw people over week after week. On my 2nd day working at the Pizza factory we newbies had to go home because another office numnut forgot to issue us a badge number... 7 hours of pay lost.

What is the bosses doing about this imcompetency or are they all high too.

Stay the *** away from this Company if you value your Sanity. Something is amiss in Paradise.

I would never deal with Kelly Services. In my experience, they have been rude, uneducated, incompetent, unprofessional and without a clue as to how to do their job.
