I wanted to wait to write a review to make sure I was not overreacting. i worked at Spectrum Staffing for a year as a Client Service Manager. I enjoyed my time there and learned a lot and met a lot of great people. I was let go 3 days after celebrating my 1 year anniversary with the team there.
Yes, this was very shocking to me because there was no warning signs. Similar to how they give out bonuses, all of this was kept secret and then made known to me the day it was happening.
I never write reviews like this but I wanted to make people aware of working for Spectrum. They have a great family atmosphere and the directors, Client Service Managers and HR will bend over backwards for you to help and give their opinions to make it truly feel like a family.
Also, Spectrum is a terrific company to work through if you are looking for contracting or direct hire work. They build great relationships with each Client and make sure to follow up all the time to make sure the contractor is comfortable in the role Spectrum placed them in.
I would just be aware of the ownership with Spectrum. Everything is behind closed doors and out of no where you can be let go in a blink of an eye. To me that is not family (which they promote) or even a healthy way to run a business. To see how upset the directors were when the owner made this decision, it seemed to be just from him. And I never did hear from the co-owner as well. So, if you do end up there please be careful what you do or say around them (basically walk on egg shells) because without you knowing, it could be held against you.
I value my time at Spectrum and thankful for the team I was apart of, I hope this message helps with future employees. Happy New Year.
