Staffmark, located at 4400 Alliance Gateway Freeway, Ste 120, in Fort Worth, TX 76177 are some of the BIGGEST LIARS on the planet. Folks are desperate for work in Fort Worth as there is nothing out here but Fields and Low wage Factories which are already full to capacity with employees. So the few jobs there are left over are all Temporary Staffing.
I called Staffmark and inquired about a position and I was told they had "sooo much work" and that they needed help for their General Mills Account. I was told to come right away and they would put me to work. I have a clean criminal background and excellent references. The job started off at $8 dollars an hour she said.
Well, of course when I went out there the place was packed. I went through the 100 page application (who do they think they are the CIA? That was one of the longest applications I have ever filled out) and went ahead and did a background check. The company charges the applicant for both the background check and the drug screen which comes out of your first check around $50.00 but I was so desperate I didn't care. I just needed work.
Well, right after that happen we were all told to call in in four days. The fourth day we called in and was told they were still waiting on the background checks. Now I have friends out of state who have worked in HR and the background checks come back right away. Within minutes. So this didn't sound right especially for a low wage warehouse job working with boxes of cereal.
So I called the next day and was told the same thing. My friend who also applied called and was told the same thing. Here it is two weeks out and we have heard nothing. I called two other people who applied and none of us have a criminal background and we all have experience and we were told various things to hold off on.
And every single day Christy from Staffmark answers the phone while eating and slurping and burping and says the same thing.. That they are waiting. And waiting. And waiting.
The truth is that they are simply LYING to applicants as so many agencies do to get applicants out there to apply. They have to stock applications to justify their existence to their corporate office. When I was at Staffmark Christy ran the background check immediately on one guy and told him what he had on his background. So why is it everyone else is being told we have to wait week after week for a background check for an $8.00 an hour job to handle boxes of Cereal at General Mills Factory.
This is why I hate dealing with these lying SOB's. You just can't trust temp agency employees. They are are LIARS.
Now watch these LYING SOB's get on this forum and pretend to be people they aren't to sing the companies praises. It won't work. YOU LYING SOB'S!
STAY AWAY FROM STAFFMARK ON 4400 ALLIANCE GATEWAY FREEWAY IN FORTH WORTH. THEY WILL ONLY WASTE YOUR TIME.
