Never Was PAID
I decided to enroll with AccuStaffing in hopes I would get a job so I can pay my rent and bills. What got was exactly the opposite. For one, they promise prompt employment, and I never got so much as a call from them until about 4 months later. Second, they called me on an old number that I told them to update to my new number 3 times before that. They told me they were trying to get some people to work at a packaging factory a few cities away but would provide transportation. They also told me to dress warmly as though I was going to work outside. That's all they told me about this job. So I woke up early, dressed warmly, and made it to work on time. The first thing I noticed was there wasn't a worker in there that spoke English. All of the workers spoke Spanish and no one seemed to know what to do. I was never told I had to sign a sign-in sheet until two hours after I started working. I was clipped by a Spanish-speaking employer driving a forklift who didn't slow down or say sorry, just beeped his horn for people to get out of the way. Because I was Hispanic, the supervisors automatically spoke to me in Spanish and treated me very rudely. But I stuck it out for a week to get my paycheck. But come that Friday, payday, there was no check in the mail. I called AccuStaffing to ask why this was so and they said, "We can not confirm your hours." They said they would call the factory again and call me back with the solution but never did. So I called them next Friday, the same answer. I told them I was quitting the job and I told them to contact me with a legit employment site next time. About a month later, they still called my old telephone number, completely ignoring the fact that I had given them a new number 4 times already, and asked me to come work for the same factory again. It seemed they had no record of me ever working there to begin with. I told them absolutely not and asked them to remove me from their files, that I did not want to recieve anymore calls from them. I advise anyone with precious time and dignity to do the same.
