I went through this company seeking warehouse work for a skilled forklift /turret driver. I was told that with only a few exceptions that would be my primary job. I have worked warehouse environments most of my career from frontline employee to managerial. Currently, I was just looking for a job that didnt require a lot of physical work because after many years of that I just wanted to cash in on my other skills and let the young folks do the physical stuff for once. I was told that this was that opportunity. I was also very clear about how far I wanted to travel for work. Actually giving specific areas that I would consider and the recruiter made the gesture of writing all of this down. She indicated that the company I was being considered for had the position I wanted, the physical requirements I desired, and the location I requested. However, after jumping through several hoops, I was given an offer of employment that from the beginning was aggregiously further than what I requested. I tried everything to resolve the issue in my favor but was told no to everything. I worked out the traveling and accepted the offer. When I arrived at the warehouse it was THE worst place I have EVER worked. It was extremely hot (zero ventilation), management was young, inexperienced, unorganized and rude. Workers in some areas we kind but machine operators were unsafe and dangerous. It was discovered that there were.only two turret trucks and 7 operators which forced me to be assigned to picking orders and other physical jobs. The onside manager stated we would be meeting to discuss things as a group but she left before the meeting with no apologies or explanation. The facility was chaotic, unorganized and over staffed due to puss poor management and inefficiency. I lasted two days and on the second day left as a result of the strenuous work and the intense heat which affected my ability to operate safely. When I contacted the recruiter by text because it was after hours, she text back and asked me about my specific issues. I explained them, in a text mind you because they never answer the phone as they do have caller ID, and never got a response. My belief is, unlike REAL strafing agencies, this company operates on a commission type basis similar to car salesmen. They sell you a car, get paid whether you pay for the car or not, and then never think of you again. I believe just by signing me up and sending me out, the recruiters job was done and payment received. They lie, mislead you and then blackball you from any further assistance. I am waiting to see how they handle my check. They warned in orientation that they were going to mess it up but dont call them. Some reviews were mixed before I went in. I asked about that and the recruiter blamed everything on the associates working for them. I believed she lied about that too. I am just glad I didnt stay and got injured, which is inevitable at this job site, because I shutter to think how they would treat me. They dont even go through state labor and industries. They dont do safety training or even a skills test to see if people even are qualified or know how to work safely. This is unheard of in the staffing business. Young people would love it, but mature employees with an ounce of sense, skills and work experience, I say beware!!!

When I spoke with Jenell on the phone Monday, she told me to be at the office between 10:00 and 10:15 and if I got stuck in traffic to just call her so she would know I might be late. I arrived and signed in at the office at 10:10, filed out their paperwork then waited until 10:35 when Jenell finally appeared from the back office, she then said, "Ill be with you in a second" then disappeared into an office, 1 or 2 minutes later I saw her slip out of that office walk though a hallway behind the counter area and into another office. I waited another 5 minutes not knowing what her idea of "be with you in a second" would be. Finally I left as I had another interview that day. The next day, (after I left a complaint on their website) I got a phone call from someone else in the office which he called a follow up, he then accused me of being late and that I lied about what Jenell had said to me on the phone. First; I dont like being accused of lying. Second; I think that they have forgotten that they are being paid to find employees for other companies, and without the employee base, they cant supply the companies with what they pay for. This is the second time I have dealt with this company. The first time was just as bad as this time. Bottom line. If your looking for work, better to look elsewhere. If your looking for employees, find a better agency as this is NOT a company you should do business with!

OMG...This is the WORST temp agency on the planet. Ive been employed through the temp agency in California, Oregon, and Washington. This one takes the cake. For starters, these people at aerotek dont know their left from their right. At the orientation, the lady was talking so fast it was like listening to a cassette tape on "fast coward". Then to make it worse, they got recruits that dont know how to match your specific skills to a specific job. These guys sent me to a warehouse that only had me do general labor work other thAn forklift work. But to be a good sport, I did two weeks before they found another assignment. Then to make it worse, I didnt get PAID for two weeks. In other words, I received my first paycheck at the same time as my second paycheck. SO UNPROFESSIONAL......When I called the office to ask for a number to corporate pAyroll, thats where it got ugly. ThAts where the true "AEROTEK" colors came out. The HEAD MANAGER CURSED ME OUT. This guy wAs so immature and unprofessional. I would NEVER EVER EVER EVER refer anyone to this agency. All these people care about is throwing into assignments even if they dont match your skills. They talk to you like they are better than you and like YOU need them. PLEASE, theres hundreds of other agencies that have more courteous employees than this place. Thumbs down to this place.

I would Highly recommend you stay away. My experience with Aerotek was the worst working with agencies. I was given the recruiter Kyle Chow. I went in for an interview and he asked many irrelevant, unprofessional questions that had nothing to do with finding a job, but made it seem like a good meeting giving me his card. I tried to call and follow up the following week and he never picked up. I left emails and called leaving message throughout the week to no avail. Finally I called blocking my number and he picked up and said your emails were being forwarded to spam (LIE). Because he sent me the 1st email and I replied to it spam does not work that way. He said to follow up the following Monday, I did and once again back to not returning my calls, so I called the main line for another recruiter and everyone they start to give me never calls back as if Kyle Chow wrote a negative comment on my file. I have a bachelor’s degree for University of Washington and they will treat you like you’re a homeless person panhandling or 2nd class citizens. If you still want to try them and they give you Kyle request someone-else
