Looking to work with children? Beware of Teaching Temps. They are always posting so I’m sure you’ve seen an ad. Not only will they not pay me the bonus I was assured – twice assured on the same day – but they jipped me on hours I was paid which affected my hourly rate. They certainly can’t guarantee hours but if you aren’t available if they call you’re done. I was fired for not being available to work and not calling to tell them I couldn’t work while I was working for the other temporary service I am working for which I told them about during my interview. I had to call in repeatedly after the interview to try and get work – first they didn’t have one of the phone numbers for a reference which was on the application and resume. Next I get there for “training” which wasn’t paid - and told I’d have to pay the $20.00 fee for the background check. Then they need me to work that same day and I was informed of the $50.00 bonus for working the day of hire – which I have spoken to them about and still not received – it isn’t in any sort of contract so I have no recourse – slime bags. And after I received a letter terminating me – no message from them other than the call about a job they needed filled - I went in to speak personally with the woman I interviewed with. I was treated rudely by a guy who calls in the morning – at the reception desk, not an office - and dismissed. I asked to have the woman I interviewed with call me and I have yet to get a call back two weeks later – I guess I didn’t call that day so they don’t need to call me – grow up. It’s pretty sad that because they don’t explain their system I lose out. They knew I was looking for full-time employment, which I have found, but I wonder how they thought I’d be available for interviews if I had to wait for them everyday.
Pros: worked at great centers with good people
Cons: besides not getting a promised bonus and the correct amount of hours i worked? plenty, read review
