Non compliant with EEOC

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

This company is horrible. Especially former Employees Ellen Dizard and Shane Weaver.

They falsified documents to EEOC claiming I refused to be trained when I continually said I would be willing to come into be tested. Claimed I tried to extort money from them when actually I received a bribe attempt from Ms. Dizard. Mr.

Weaver has continued his abhorable behavior with his new employer. He fired me and then when Manpower told him he was wrong than he made a false offer of reviewing my resume. EEOC bought into their lies and denied my claim for discrimination based on race and age.

I have proof of everything I said to EEOC and to them.

Manpower not good company to work for in Louisiana

I am contracted from Manpower to a job place here in Louisiana and I love my job. I just found out that Manpower does not provide paid vacation or paid sick leave. They are not up front about any of this. Anytime I have a question they tell you look in your manual or call the numbers they gave. Well, every time I have called I get a different answer each time. I am very grateful I have a job I love, a paycheck every week and insurance, but I will never be able to take a weeks vacation, as I can not afford to miss a weeks pay. As far as holiday pay well you have to maintain 1800 hours to get paid for holidays. We will see, because I have not hit that mark yet, but I am getting close. I would advise anyone in Louisiana to avoid working for Manpower. I have a difficult decision to make on whether I stay with a job I love or find something that provides sick and vacation time.

Horrible Experience - Experienced Industrial Worker

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

Hello,

I recently applied for a job outside of Manpower and then shortly after was contacted by Manpower offering me the same job.

I of course took the job and began my week, Monday the first, February 2016.

My first two days I had been trained on two separate tasks, each time I was told I was doing an excellent job and to keep up the good work and learn everything that I could.

The rest of my week I was doing the same job, which unusually was a simple job given my experience. All I was doing was stacking parts that came down a painting line onto pallets.

The job can't be down faster or slower because the line operates at the same speed at all times.

I was working with other people and no complaints were made about the remaining time I spent at the facility.

The end of my work week, I offered a ride to a coworker to pick up his check, my first check wouldn't be received till the following week.

When we pulled up to the office in McKenzie, Tennessee one of the staff members called me inside to inform me today was my last day at my new job.

Being my birthday, and having been told I was doing great, naturally I was very disappointed.

I told the staff member that I was going to call them and ask what it was that I had done wrong because I had been told it was regarding "performance."

Being a two person job and every part being lifted by two people and having not being able to move the parts any faster then they came down the line, I was unsure what I could have possibly done wrong.

I was then told if I contacted the employer I would not receive help from Manpower. I told the staff member that I hadn't signed any documents saying that I couldn't contact employers that I worked for and have done so numerous times with the staff members knowing that I did, and nothing ever being said against the action.

After leaving Manpower, I called the place I just left to let them know that I enjoyed my time there and if anything came available, my number was on the resume that I sent to them prior to getting hired through Manpower.

I was told by the H.R. Administrator that he would be happy to do that if anything came available and that honestly the only reason they let me go is that they had hired too many workers for the assignment.

After ending the call I called Manpower to ask that they adjust my profile and not have it say "performance" because I was technically still in training, and it had nothing to do with my performance.

From there I was told I would no longer able to be assigned any jobs through Manpower. I asked for the documents that I signed upon being signed up through Manpower. I was then refused and hung up on.

I really wish that I could speak with someone about this issue, because honestly its really disappointing that experienced workers end up going through this and it negatively effecting their career future.

I do wish to have the documents that I signed and my attorney, Greer and Greer in Paris, Tn, informed me that I have a right to those documents.

I hope to hear back from you and sorry if I have caused any inconvenience,

Gregory K. Scheffer

Inside Manager Korina Loera terminated me with lies from ConAgra Foods (Harvest Manor Farms), 11B Leigh Fisher Blvd, El Paso, TX 79906.ConAgra Supervisor Rafael Hernandez inform me that I couldn’t enter to work because I had ask for my job resignation to Karina.

I never ask for such resignation. According to her I was unable to adapt. Since my first day November 17, 2014, I never being absent; always on time, never taking days off, never leave earlier than 6:00 am.

My break no longer than 15 minutes and lunch 30 minutes.

Does that proves her I couldn't adapt?

Manpower fires people for no reason whatsoever. I was also fired without a valid excuse, and on top of that, Manpower told me I could never use them again.

Not only that, but the branch I used closed down before anything could be resolved.

Nothing can be done for you. Unfortunately this is what happens when companies do their hiring via temp agencies. Plus, no grounds for legal action can be pursued due to most states "employment at will" labor law. Which means, unless you have a contract or bargaining agreement, no excuse is needed to fire a worker.

This is how it's justified, "People choose to gain employment at a certain place, nobody forced them. And they can leave at any time without reason." Basically, if you read more on this, they really emphasize "personal choice" most of the time.

So you didn't necessarily have to work for a company ("personal choice"), meaning, they don't have to give you a reason for why they let people go. However, this is still no excuse why they felt a need to fabricate a story in order to get rid of you.

I know it's terribly difficult to get a job these days, but I highly recommend for people to try and get work without using temp agencies.

The worst most discriminatory agency I've ever come across. You will get fired if your a mother and don't have sufficient "babysitters". I was told by Debbie the manager at the Pickering office,"As a mother, I should have more back up" before my contact was terminated for not having a sitter during a PA day at my son's school. They say they are willing to help and are understanding which are all lies. Beware of this person, she discriminates. I would NEVER recommend anyone to seek employment at this office!!!!!

Sorry love, but this is not discrimination by any means. They have a business to run.

Poor Customer Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Employees at Man Power in the Saint Lucie County, West Palm Beach area in Florida are incompetent and disrespectful. Honestly I would steer away from this company. They ignore calls, promise to call but they don't, make up excuses and are incapable of doing a job showing candidates professionalism, courtesy and respect. I feel so upset and disrespected that I needed to tell someone, hope this helps others. Just remember, if you are prepared and are willing to work hard, Man Power should be your last resort, after all if by a chance you are sent on an assignment they will take a good chunk of your money...(at least for this reason, you'd think recruiters would be more customer service oriented). So keep looking you will land your perfect job!

Manpower is the worst

I submitted my resume to online to Manpower. A person from Manpower called a few days later. Was a bad time so I asked to call them back a few hours later at a specified time. When I called back I got put into a generic voicemail box. I called 6 times over the next 3 days and received the same generic voicemail box. I called the main office and was told that recruiters did not have access to voice mail boxes and to keep trying to call them back. Was also told it would be hard to get a hold of them. Tried for 2 more days before I gave up. Completely unprofessional and pathetic company. Found employment through a different staffing agency.

Unprofessional

I have certainly learned that the hard way that Manpower Group out of Milwaukee, WI have total disregard for employees contracted under them. From the outside looking in they must be on a commission of some sort.

I have never felt so irrelevant in my life. I get no call backs when something goes wrong. Payroll is a joke. I have had 3 pay checks not appear.

4 recruiters take over. Everytime there is an issue they just give me a new recruiter to call. Yet, when your contract is over you get flooded with calls about possible jobs opportunities. It's a malicious business and unfortunately when you do not have a choice but to take contract work you are treated this way.

I think they are aware of this a justify it. Vultures.

They are dealing my girlfriend the same way. Didnt pay her one week , it affected her performance one day , her supervisor was off that day, the stand in supervisor supposedly understood and tried to help...yet it later came to big bosses attention as an incident. Now she is close to being fired , over manpowers payroll screwup & the companies supervisors lack of a back bone to stand up for her.

Manpower lost all my paperwork twice and 'forgot' to submit my time to payroll.

SUFFERING FROM THEIR MISTAKE!

Original review Nov 26, 2015
I have worked for manpower since the beginning of June. My first assignment was a warehouse. Which I ended up leaving and recently started another warehouse a few weeks ago. I have been anxiously awaiting for my paycheck to go by my two kids Christmas presents. I received an email, attatched was my paystub. Under post-tax deductions, all the money not taken for regular taxes, was taken out, totaling 190 dollars. I could no figure out why, I owed nothing to the government, so I knew they hadn't garnished my whole paycheck. I got in touch with payroll who told me I had to call the local manpower office located in Harrisonburg, VA because they had taken MY WHOLE PAYCHECK due to overpayment, keep in mind, I WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY OF THIS. I called the local manpower office to the woman who controlled all my assignments, Brandi Johnson, received no answer, eventually I had my girlfriend email her, explaining to her what was going on, and Brandi's response was "Contact payroll" .But payroll had just told me to contact her? This ended in a trip up to their office, just to be told, they had overpayed me 520 dollars sometime in June, which I was not aware of. It was never mentioned to me, not once. They had never warned me that I would not be receiving a paycheck. They had never even spoken with me about the fact that I was overpayed. Instead, I just get told after I have worked at this new warehouse for 2 weeks, a total of 60 hours, that ALL my money was being taken for over payment, A MISTAKE THEY MADE. Even when your wages are garnished, they do not take your whole paycheck, and Manpower royally screwed me. How unproffesional is it to not even mention to me anything about the overpayment and just take MY WHOLE PAYCHECK. It is not like I had not been in contact with them. I spoke to Brandi Johnson multiple times and she never once mentioned to me anything about this. ANYTHING. I will NEVER work for them again.

Don't work for any temp agency ever again. I know it's hard out there but people really need to stop using these places and show companies how we don't want to go through a 3rd party in order to be employed.

Not to mention you will receive less pay until you are hired on by the actual employer.

But that depends entirely on the temp agency; they usually try to bounce people around once assignments are completed so as to keep money rolling into their company instead of looking out for a person's well-being.

But always always keep track of your pay and hours. Never rely on the "honor system".

Guest

Did you confirm they had even made an overpayment to you? They sound like major *** that was a crummy, low down dirty thing to do, with no warning!

They said that's what their system says and that's all there is to it. It's pathetic.

But yet I was clocking in and out on my breaks when I wasn't supposed to because I had no idea. The place is just a joke

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Manpower wasted several hours of my time by sending me to an interview and visiting their office for a position which I didn't qualify for. The employer wanted to give me a shot after the interview, but upon my background check, Manpower determined that I wasn't eligible. From my perspective, potential employees should be prescreened for prequalifications.
