Accountemps

By FAR the most unprofessional and dysfunctional office I’ve ever had to deal with. Maybe the COMPANY is reputable, but this location is stocked with né’er-do-wells.
And the staffing is a true revolving door. The turnover rate is mind-​boggling!
This is actually my reinstatement of a previous review of AccounTemps I’ve left.
Two upper-​crusties in he NYC and Paramus offices read my first review and contacted me to «fix things». I agreed to delete my complaint and they agreed to not only reset my PeopleID so I could see job openings on their website, but the person in the NY main office agreed to make an effort to find me work citing my MS-​Excel testing as being «off the charts».
I took him at his word as he represented himself as a VP. A quick look for him on
showed he was merely a branch manager.
Not only did this person welsh on his promise to me, but once I deleted my complaint, he stopped returning phone calls and e-​mails. I sent him 1 and 2-​page resumes, my most recent Performance Appraisal {exceeds expectations} and a 3-​page synopsis of my previously recognized achievements at his request.
I’ll bet the deed to my home that he never did anything with them.
I was about to reinstate my complaint when I saw a woman who lives in my area had posted permanent jobs in the NJ Dept of Labor office in my town. So I decided to contact her and make her my last ditch effort to work with these losers. She has proven to be equally as incompetent.
She didn’t need to find me work… only reset my account password so I could use their website. Not too much to ask, but apparently for her, it was. Worthless…
I have had this problem with AccounTemps since November 2012. It boggles my mind that they are so incompetent. But when you check their employees on LinkedIn, you’ll see that none of their recruiters have any real financial experience.
They are all flunkies who probably got hired due to personal friendships with others who already «work» for the company. Their recruiters come from gas stations, beer distributors, real estate, failed businesses, etc.
If you are looking for a job, be it temporary or permanent and live in the northern NJ area, you’d do well to avoid this clown circus. Unless your previous job was working as a cashier in a Shop-​Rite or school custodian. If you have almost 20 years of Corporate HQ Financial/​Credit experience, they won’t know what to do with you.
