GoodTemps

If you’re expecting an immediate assignment — don’t hold your breath because you’ll be sorry you did. I applied around the fall of 2014 and wasn’t offered an assignment till March 2015 where I worked a year. And remember, all assignments are temp with a very microscopic chance of it turning into a full time assignment. I say this because you’ll most likely be sent to a government agency that usually requires you to take an exam before you can be considered. Since my assignment ended, with good reviews, I still haven’t been contacted for another assignment that matches my skill set. In other words, no assignment available immediately after you complete your job.

I was told they could not accommodate me because of my disability I though this was a temp agency for people with disabilities… apparently not

Emailed them to reschedule my appointment (a second time), and here is what they wrote back:
Thank you for your interest in employment opportunities with GoodTemps.
Unfortunately it is company policy that two reschedule request are allowed. We will keep your information on file, and if any opportunities arise in the future that match your skills, and for which we feel you would qualify as a top candidate, we will contact you. In the meantime, we wish you the best of luck in your job search
Mind you it said nothing on their website about this policy.

long wait to meet with recruiter. even though they had positions listed on their website and in office, i was told that these positions were closed — yeah, right! after spending hours in the office and maybe less than 10 minutes to meet with the recruiter, i was exhausted. never received any call backs and it’s hard to get in contact with an actual person when you call these people up. so discouraging!

I recommend to go instead to either Temporary Alternatives, the Aldan Troy Group (both of which are in the same building and office suite), or Ajilon-they’ll actually try to work with you.

Well, I am back after two years. I promised to give this place 5 stars, but I am giving it only one. Why? I have never heard from them… not for a single assignment! They tested me from head to toe as if I was being admitted to the FBI school or something. Total waste of time!

BADTemps is the better business name. I went through the whole nine yards of registering, uploading my resume, selecting the nearest office location to my residence. Afterwards with only receiving a auto-​reply confirmation of receiving my information, I never received a follow-​up phone call from a human being for a personal invitation to meet with a recruiter to discuss my professional background. BADTemps is the standard cookie cutter staffing agency as they are impersonal, dismissive, non-​responsive, and non-​beneficial to enhance candidates’ professional lives.

I was referred to GoodTemps by another agency. Being «disadvantaged», I was supposedly among the first priority. But since February, I have received two assignments — one day, and six weeks.
When I went to my one day assignment, I couldn’t find the place. Multiple phone calls to my on-​site supervisor went unanswered and it was an early Saturday morning so there was nobody at the office either. My second assignment sent me to work the next day, lasted me six weeks, though I had to abruptly quit with seven weeks left on the assignment. Without going into personal details, I felt the recruiter (?) understated the requirements of the job that I stated I would have problems with and after six weeks it took its toll on me.
I received maybe five calls asking if I was interested in an assignment, only to hear «we’ll send them your resume» and nothing else after that. I applied to quite a few of their online postings (which are limited) only to get nothing but an automated email response. Earlier this week I called the office to touch base. There was no answer during office hours so I left a message which has still gone unanswered.
They did put me to work at a wage I never would’ve gotten otherwise, and they can be a great help getting on your feet if you’re disadvantaged. But don’t hold your breath waiting for an assignment.

they need to be closed down really, I try to go back to them reapply but they refuse to send me back so don’t go to them they are really rude, ignorant, and stuff there too many scandals

I had never heard of this business so I didn’t know what to expect. Upon first arriving to the location I was instantly comfortable. The décor was warm and inviting. I didn’t have to wait a million years for my appointment time, which is a great thing. The people that I met with were warm and friendly. I had no issues.

I would have given them more stars, had it not been for the issues I’ve had with payroll. My checks have often been delayed or lost. I cannot get direct deposit because of an issue with my name spelling. I spoke to two payroll employees who were unprofessional and rude. I have asked for a person to speak with over the two employees with NO RESPONSE.
Good temps placed me in a great, but at first very difficult position. The process of applying was not bad. This is an agency that caters to those who are disabled. That doesn’t mean you have to be an ex con or crackhead (as someone else stated). It offered the perfect opportunity for someone who was on Social Security Disability to try to get back in the workforce after several years.

This place is awful. The office is dirty and cramped, the computers are from the Stone Age, and the staff are sloppy, unprofessional, and mumble. The fact that 3 associates share an office and you’re forced to interview while others are also being interviewed in the same room tells you off the bat that this place has limited means.
I almost walked out when I saw the quality, or I should lack there of, of the other people waiting to be interviewed– they were the most ignorant, uneducated, unprofessional people ever and the staff were not much better. I wish I did leave right there and then because interviewing at GoodTemps was a complete waste of time.
