They will fire you for not going to HR about your issues in the workplace.

I would not recommend any clients to do business with her nor any job seekers to apply here. I worked as an employment specialist and this was the worst experience EVER! the only good thing that came out of this was being able to help people find work. The only reason I stayed this long was because I wanted to make a difference and help others after working as a chemist for most of my adult life. The sales rep (she quit also) and myself were pretty much sink or swim! No proper training and when you asked the owner for help it was like walking on eggshells. She would look at you like a deer caught in headlights. Or start yelling at you or give you an attitude. I walked out in the job due to her hostile work environment she literally yelled at me until she lost her voice and tried to block me in the door way of the office like she wanted to fight me. Do not waste your time and effort applying there are better agencies around that will actually help you find a job. Her mindset is still in the military and if you didn’t serve she won’t even look your way or submit you for a job unless it’s labor. I’ve made several calls and emails to the corporate office and all have gone unnoticed, I guess they don’t care they have a psycho, belligerent, and a racist representing them! I guess they represent that also! She makes racist comments about white people that have made the sales rep and myself uncomfortable. My fiancée is Greek and my brothers are half Italian. And the sales reps husband is white and her children are biracial. I find that odd with her being a dark skin black woman and being a lesbian and making racial slurs is a bit hypocritical. I know how businesses are run professionally my mom owned a lab for years in NY and my brother owns successful body shops. This business will never be profitable nor successful with this maniac beware!! there is a reason she’s the only one working by herself with no staff 😃 *Stafford VA* Owner Trina Rice.

This was the worst experience I’ve ever had with trying to find a job. They were so disrespectful to me that I couldn’t believe the entire experience with the Bloomington staff was atrocious and humiliating to say the least and the way they made me feel on top of telling me that they weren’t going to offer me any job at all even though they contacted me through zip recruiter to offer a job they said was a perfect match then I decided to go in to the local office and that’s where the awful experience began and followed with they would not be offering me any work and were going to go with other candidates and gave no reason

I really should’ve read the reviews before trusting Express Employment Professionals in Covington. My experience as a white male was the worst I’ve ever had with any hiring agency. I see now a lot of people have had similar experiences. They push you to leave good reviews, but the actual experience is the complete opposite. The staff at this location, Krissy at the front and Emma as the “employment specialist,” were very unprofessional. Communication was terrible. They sent me to an interview for a job I would’ve never applied for on my own. It just wasn’t a good fit for me at all. I trusted them because they were so sure I had it, and I passed up another job that paid a little less because of that. After the interview, I never got a proper follow up. No call, nothing. Meanwhile I’m stressing about bills and trying to figure out what’s going on. When I brought up serious issues from a job site, like guys openly drinking on the job and bragging about being messed up while working, it was completely brushed off. I even sat there for about an hour trying to talk to someone about it and was made to feel like I was the problem for bringing it up. That’s not something small, that’s a safety issue. Nobody cared at all. Another big issue was the way things were handled with drug screening. I was told straight up that I would be marked as a pass without actually being tested, just based off how I look and the fact I have a valid driver’s license. That should be concerning to any employer using this agency because you really don’t know who they’re sending you. I even told them I had prescriptions and it still didn’t matter. The way candidates are treated doesn’t feel fair or consistent either. From what I personally saw and heard, certain people are talked about differently and given different types of opportunities. It raises real concerns about how decisions are being made behind the scenes. There’s no real accountability here. No HR, just a local office doing whatever they want. When I explained how much this situation affected me mentally and financially, it was basically turned back on me like it was my fault. Overall this place cost me time, money, and opportunities. I trusted them and got left out to dry. I would strongly recommend going to any other staffing agency around here.

This company informed me that they had employment in my area which was not true. I went in for a meeting and interview for them to never contact me back again. When I called to follow up the story changes to we don’t have any jobs in your area. So this is clearly a lie my by this company. I would recommend other companies for employment as trying to find clients for work contracts. I believe this companies people who can drive to work assignments that they can get and discriminate on people who get to these assignments.

FITCHBURG LOCATION: My recent experience with Express Employment Professionals, specifically under the direction of Carey A. Campbell (Fitchburg Location), was deeply disappointing. Despite applying for customer service roles that matched my background, I was instead sent to a facility where many of the workers were part of a prison work-release program—something that was never disclosed up front. OWNER: Carey A. Campbell When I advocated for myself in the face of workplace misconduct, the response was silence, followed by immediate dismissal from the assignment. Express’s failure to communicate, support, or match talent fairly is troubling. The assignment also failed to align with my qualifications and involved hazardous, dust-filled working conditions. In my observation, quality placements seem inconsistently awarded, with an unspoken bias that professional people of color often feel but can’t always prove. There are already hundreds of negative reviews across job-seeking platforms about Express Employment — including dozens tied directly to the Madison branch — and thousands more nationwide. The pattern is consistent: poor communication, misleading postings, and placements that don’t match candidate qualifications. Forewarning to job seekers: always read the negative reviews on staffing agencies before you sign on. The mission statements may look good, but the reviews tell the real story. This agency may be helpful for some, but my experience raises serious concerns about equity, safety, and professional respect. Anyone considering working with this branch or with Carey A. Campbell should weigh these concerns carefully before moving forward.

I don’t have any issues with them, just wish they had more helpdesk or remote positions available.

This office in South Colorado Springs is absolutely garbage it's a telemarketing firm label themselves as the staffing company they had me uproot from North Dakota to move halfway across the country to Colorado cuz they had three jobs to put me in I went in there for an interview cuz they didn't have three jobs they were going to see what they could do then then heard nothing from my family and friends came across the country and heard nothing now I get attitude when I call them like well we're looking and I get some snooty woman on the phone this place is garbage stay away at all costs the same is as true in Fargo North Dakota i think just in general they're telemarketers so if you're trying to get people to work for you don't call them if you need a job don't call them they get bonuses and stuff based on I heard them in there I heard them in the office doing they did a little rush sale thing and they went and called them players and just just trying to push themselves on give me my business card and do all this did they do this little rushdale thing by the way while I was waiting for an interview so this was the more important thing was to get people to come into the office and sign up absolute garbage
