TERRIBLE. AWFUL. HORRIFIC TREATMENT OF WORKERS. LOW WAGES. INTIMIDATION AND THREATS. RUDE STAFF. I wouldnt want to work for Elwood Staffing if it was the last company on earth. I am sure they will follow this review with a bunch of fake positive reviews like many other companies when they get a negative online review but dont believe those glowing reviews if they should pop up. Elwood Staffing offers awful, low wage, unbearable jobs which are often many miles away from their office. I can also guarantee you that not many of their workers are going online placing reviews. Most probably dont even have home computers. Most of the workers are poor, black and I went to an orientation when I was desperate for a job and in the orientation which was non paid and at their site they threatened the hires. We were told if anyone was caught with a cell phone at the companys site the cell phone would be taken and smashed. The white woman even said "I hope yall have insurance because we will be destroying the cell phone to see what information you have on it". I looked at the faces of other people who were there and they were just shocked. This place pays so little they feel they can only pull a certain caliber of an employee and that is someone who is desperate, ignorant and exploitable. There is no reason to threaten us and speak to us like were five year olds. It was ridiculous. Second, The background check they do for these $7.25 to $8.00 an hour positions is just over the top. They use a background checking company called Asurint - that goes back way farther than seven years. The company goes back FOREVER. Evidently theyve found a loophole in Texas law that allows them to do it and even if the matter was a minor misdemeanor when you was a teen and you were never "convicted" of it, they still report it if it shows on the courts website. So the best thing to do if you are desperate enough to work for these saps is to not report it if there is no conviction. I wouldnt even report all the places I had lived. Because in each one the background check company will type your name into the towns court website to see what charges were filed. they dont even care that they were dismissed. SECOND, ALL THE STAFF ARE WHITE. They NEVER DIVERSIFY THEIR STAFF. They may have one lone black "temp" helping them sort papers, etc. But this place wont hire black people to work in the office no matter HOW ACCOMPLISHED you are. If you are black, it doesnt matter if you have a Degree from HARVARD. You wont be offered an office position working around them. Texas unfortunately has a LOT of companies like this. Small, white owned firms who believe all blacks and Mexicans deserve LOW WAGES regardless of our QUALIFICATIONS and only white people deserve to be paid well. I say stay away from this company. There are other companies that will hire you if you need a job and will train you. These companies are ALWAYS HIRING. They are Novo 1, Connexions, Convergys, MMC Group, teleperformance (aka Aegis), Telvista, etc. They pay more and you wont be driving across Texas to get to a jobsite that only pays $8.00 an hour. Youll be working in an office and not standing in a warehouse with some slave driving maniac standing behind you shouting while they work you like a mule. Blacks in Texas need to stop being so desperate. These white folks are keeping half our wages and laughing all the way to the bank. My cousin who is biracial was hired at a temp agency in the DFW area and she told me that the blacks all agree to work for minimum wage but the Hispanics turn it down. Even when they have no experience. So the agency already knew to offer the blacks only minimum wage. this depressed the heck out of me. We need to step our game up. Work for ourselves. Honestly. They will continue to knock our heads unless we stand up for ourselves.

Carpe diem Que Sera Sera

The women that work for this company are very unprofessional, they was having unappropriate conversation to where their clients can hear them. Talking about people once they leave out of the facility, no one should have to endure the unhealthy conversation that the staff members are having. Elwood Staffing needs to clean house at this location in Arlington Texas, that means new staffing or retrain on being professional at the workplace. Sorry ladies, I really did not wanted to write this bad review about you all, but some changes have to be done there.

I wasted an hour and half coming in for a scheduled interview. They make you go through a lot of paper work that is not relevant to your job position and make you watch a video. One of the worst temp I ever come across. One of the recruiter act like "oh that is confidential" when I ask "what is the name of the company". They treat you like elementary students. Stay away unless your desperate for work.
