Working at ManpowerGroup in New York, NY: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in New York, NY Area

"A shame that the Agency has fallen and loyal staff are treated badly."

What do you like about working at ManpowerGroup?

"In the beginning, they contacted you and really tried to provided you with jobs, keeping you working so long as you took what they offered."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"My tip is to look for other agency's that can help with work. Don't put too much weight in getting regular jobs. They have a tendency in the NYC office to stop giving you jobs once you get too close to making your anniversary of a year (which means they would have to give you 1 week's worth of vacation)."

What don't you like about working at ManpowerGroup?

"Once they started to have more recruits coming in for positions, they no longer called you and wouldn't even return your calls or emails. Also, when you did try to call to speak to your recruiter they would always say they were busy or couldn't speak to you and would never call you back. Their loyality to their workers, who have been with them for more than a year, taking whatever jobs they offered, and coming back with good reviews and still they forgot you and would find placements for new people not you. For more than 6 months after an assignment that I was even requested to return the following summer, I wasn't given another temp or perm job from Manpower. Someone in the NY office blew me off!!! and so did the new manager which I emailed and she never got back to me. This also happened to a friend of mine who initially was the one who recommended me until she was on a TV show that discussed unemployed people and then did Manpower contact her with a position. I wouldn't recommend Manpower anymore, unless you want to be used then thrown away."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"My suggestion is for management to start to contact those workers and find out if they need help in getting a placement and to ask what has been happening to them since their last job placement with Manpower. Also, maybe micromanage the current recruiters who supposedly are looking for jobs for people."
