I worked for at Patagonia through Applied from August 2016 to December 2016, and the entire time, Priscilla was a nightmare to work with. She was well-known throughout Patagonia and everyone there hated and avoided her. I did the same, and then there was some conflict of interest between her and my direct supervisor (if I had to take a sick day, she said I was not to contact my supervisor and that she would. Problem is, she never did and would leave him hanging, which looked bad on my end, so I would contact him anyway just to inform him that I wouldn t be there so he wouldn t be left hanging, which apparently was me deliberately defying her. No, it s professionalism). Then I got switched departments (from cafe attendant to picking) and I had to take a sick day in mid December, and she sent me a text message saying that she got my message but they were ending my assignment. Outraged, I tried to find out why but never heard back. So when I tried to file for unemployment, Priscilla told them that I had no call no showed, and willfully ended my own assignment, and somehow I brought my badge to get into the Patagonia warehouse back to Applied days before any of this even happened. I had proof that she was lying (the text message saying she received my message that very same day), as well as dates, but I went unheard by both DETR and Applied Staffing. Then, months later, after I told them to take me out of their system and never contact me again, she had the nerve to call me and try to offer me another job. Ma am, with all due respect, which is none, I don t give a flying heck about your recruiting bonus, so no, I don t want to work with you again. And neither should anyone else. You re wasting your time with Applied. I can understand wanting to go somewhere like that in a pinch, but I highly recommend Aerotech or JobConnect (which is an employment agency, rather than a temp agency). The people there are lovely and actually care about the people they re helping.
