Acsys

I worked with Acsys for about 2 years. You get drawn in because they’re persistent, super-​friendly (absolutely fake by the way), and insist that they can find you a job; but aren’t all recruiters like that? Anyway, for the past 2 years, I’ve been in and out of temp assignments. Of course, that doesn’t leave me much leway in terms of cash on hand since I’m in and out of projects all the time, always strapped for cash. I’ve had several instances where I was told that the project would last me 2 months, and I was out of there in 3 weeks. No, I didn’t get fired/​terminated. I just work extremely quickly. I pretty much worked myself out of a job. Even after the many times this has happened, I was told the same unreliable profile of the project. How can I prepare a budget for myself without knowing when I’ll work myself out of a job again? I tried the slight slacking off biz, so I can bill for as many hours as I could, but I still finished at least 2 weeks early. All the people at Acsys, all they care about is how many new people can we recruit. They don’t care about the people who are already working for them. Okay, I have to give them some credit because originally, they had somewhat taken care of me, but the second year was differnt. Umm, hello? The economy reaks, there’s no work out there. Even if there is, employers are surely not going to go through an agency and pay thousands of dollars to hire someone when they can simply post something on craigslist for $ 15. It’s quite proposterous. Also, I was only receiving 60 to 65% of what they were billing the employers. I’m not supposed to know this, but hello? I’m an accountant, I pay those bills that come in for the employer, remember? I’ve had some really bad luck with the managers they set me up with on these projects. I’ve had some good ones too, but not as many as the bad. Trust me, when I say bad? I mean bad! I’ve had some lady talk crap about me behind my back (which I walked in on and overheard) to her supervisor and coworkers. I, of course, quit and the staffing agency fought with them and never heard from them again. I also had this horrible manager at my last project who seriously hated me from the start. I was nice to her, I even brought in homemade treats to lighten her up. No matter how mean she was to me, I would always smile back and say yes ma’am. In the end, I tried to apply for a permanent position on my own at the location I was currently working as consultant, and she screwed everything up for me. Okay, the job position was open in the first place because the other girl got fired because I ended up doing all of her work and she did nothing. They found out and they fired her. I have tons of accounting experience, I know what I’m doing. I get things done. She knew it and she even told me she knew it. She hired an assertive little girl with absolutely no experience. Enough about that, back to my story about Acsys. Honestly, if you want to go to someone who can never find you jobs because they’re in the slow season (almost all the time), only care about the new recruits, take 40% of the billed while sitting on their bums looking for new recruits, pretend they are your friends and will do what they can for you but are actually really fake about it, and placing you in cruddy projects? Sure, be my guest, go get help from Acsys.
