Axion

Terribly unprofessional. Called me regarding a specific position with a specific employer. Went to meet with them and the child (must have been 18 years old) who was interviewing me did not mention anything of the position that was mentioned over the phone. When i asked about it he looked at me like i had 12 heads, told me he would be right back, comes back and tells me there is no such position with that employer. My favorite part is that while i was sitting in the waiting area a woman came in selling bootleg dvds… the woman who was supposed to interview me went into an office to look through the selection of dvds… then the kid interviewing me tells me the woman who was supposed to interview me was «very busy» so he would be conducting the interview… Complete waste of my time.

Im going to keep it simple & right to the point.
Axion mails me my checks.
I get paid, Im happy.
The End.

So I get a response from «Vincent F» from Axion and I noticed that his response to me was the exact same words he wrote to Jennifer P. It must have taken a lot of effort to take all the time in the world to do a copy and paste, though to be fair, he corrected one typo and replaced it with another :)
«Hi Jennifer, so sorry that you did not receive the help you were seeking. I am happy to try and resolve the issues. As I looked through your reviews it seems ther have been many instances where you are not satisfied with agencies. Let’s talk and set some mutually agreeable expectations, in this very tough economy and job we must strive to work together to fond solutions.»
Seriously, what do my reviews (based on MY experience!) of establishments in industries totally different from each have to do with my experience with Axion? The constructive way to resolve client/​customer issues is by trying to find out more about the individual’s actual experience instead of casting mildly ad hominem aspersions. Vincent, your copy and paste response only underscore my experience of Axion being callous and a little less than candid. Frankly, Axion is more interested in protecting its commission and not in developing a repeat relationship with the employee. But enough of wasted words already.

Axion calls:
Axion: «Hi, we’ve got a great position for you, starting Monday!»
Me: «Really? Great, thank you!»
Axion: «We’ll call you back tomorrow with the details!»
And then I never end up getting a call.
I call back:
Me: «Hi, you told me last week that there was a position for me, but never got back to me.»
Axion: «Oh, uh, it fell through! But we’ll have a new position for you next week, we promise! Call back next week!»
This has been an endless cycle for about 3 months. If you don’t have anything, please don’t call me and act like you do. I’m sick of getting my hopes up for nothing — it’s like they’re the dad in «Cat’s In the Cradle».
