Winston Staffing Reviews

I see some really bad reviews but I can assure you this is far from the fact! My recruiter HEMALA SINGH is the best to work with! She was extremely patient and positive with me throughout my time at Winston. She got me a temporary Positions which best suited my ability, explained each and every detail of this position and even prep me for the interview. She pushed me to the extent of bringing out my full potential into this job and finally after 7months of hard work and dedication I went from a temporary staff to a permanent staff.

Winston was the best decision I made in my career so far.

I have seen some really negative reviews, and while I cannot speak for anyone else's experience, it seems that all depends on the recruiter you get.

I have had NOTHING but great experiences when I worked with Winston from 2015 to 2018. After I sent them my resume in April 2015, I immediately received a call, got tested, and was offered a position at Barnard College. After 6 months, that assignment ended, however, in 2 weeks, I was at another assignment. From November 2015 until March 2018 I worked at that company. I asked for and received raises, albeit small, every 6 months, and was grateful that my recruiter was open to getting me more money (salary went up by $5 per hour over that period of time). In March, I was finally hired permanently at the company, with a much higher rate, and I am still here today.

I have to say, Winston really did well for me, and for everyone at my company who worked for them. Going with Winston was the best decision I made in my career so far.

I worked with Cherryl she was very organize and very helpful a lot times! Everyone in the office is very friendly, and they definitely have very good medical clinics for temp positions. They safe me when I most needed.

I have been working with Winston Services for about 5 years now, my recruiter Astride Victor is the most professional and caring person i have ever meet. Every time there is an opportunity for me to work, she reaches out to me in a timely fashion and asks me if i am available. she doesn't put any pressure or demands, which makes me more incline to working that shift. I would recommend her to any XRAY, MRI, MAMMO techs who are in need of any temporarily or permanent positions.

Very unprofessional. The guy who picks up the phone in Manhattan branch is rude and nasty. Please people don t give your personal information to this agency, the front desk guy knew my name and he said that he wasn t going to let me go into the building with no reason. This PLACE IS VER UNPROFESSIONAL and treats clients like you aren t nothing.

I was recruited by John DeJesus at Winston Staffing and have to say that he has demonstrated the utmost professionalism to the highest degree from the recruitment process to hire. He worked relentlessly on getting me into the ideal position that matches perfectly with my skill sets. Thank you John for all of your efforts and I will highly recommend your services to any of my friends and acquaintances who are looking for employment.

I had a wonderful experience with Winston Staffing. I was sent on an interview within a week of going to them and landed the job which turned into a permanent position!! My staffing coordinator was wonderful and I would recommend Winston to anyone.

My recruiter, Steve Bastien, interviewed me and thought I would be a good fit to work with their company. He helped me boost up my resume which he thought, undersold me. He went above and beyond for me. He called me to offer me a position while he was on his family vacation!

Went a Mon and by Thursday they found me a position

I've only worked with one recruiter, her name is Rose. She has the worst attitude. She doesn't respond to emails and when you finally get her on the phone her tone says it all. I tried to get another recruiter but that didn't work. Apparently she's one of the top recruiters there. If you are assigned to her please request someone else. She is unapproachable. She will not work with you to get you a decent salary or anything. If you start an assignment make sure you get all the details upfront and in writing, like the pay, hours, etc. Once you start she will not even check in on you to see how you are doing. I get it recruiters are busy but this place only cares about placing people and getting there commission. They don't care about you credentials, that doesn't mean anything. I can't speak for all the recruiters but I do know for sure Rose has a nasty attitude.

My experience with Winston was amazing. Mr. Bastien was hands on and passionate about making sure I was satisfied. I recommend Mr. Bastien for anyone looking for employment.

Steve is great, he has landed me a terrific career, and I appreciate him for it. He also checked in on me to see how I was doing, and if I liked I what i was doing. He cares about the people he sends out on assignments. You cannot go wrong with Steve Bastien. I am happy in my new career. I would highly recommend Mr. Bastien as your Winston Staffing Recruiter.

These 5 stars go to Steve , that's the guy. Everyone go to Steve Bastien, that is the man. He actually wants to help and has a positive attitude. He comes through, just met him 5 days ago, sent me on 2 interviews , and i got the job. If he saids he will be in touch, expect to hear from him. Its people like him that make a difference. Winston Staffing is Great , because they have Steve. And i been to many agencies, this guy is the real deal. If you are looking for work ask for Steve Bastien this guy is as genuine as it gets.

Avoid working with recruiter Rose Harry. She is sadly mean spirited, unresponsive, rude and unprofessional.

I remember dealing with christina Vargas who was polite. I just wish I heard back in regards to job postings which I haven't.

Theyre decent. Got a job through them within 2/3wks of working with them. Gave them a 4 star bc the person assigned to me, Rose, doesn't seem to care much. Once she got me the assignment, she really didn't respond much to my emails asking questions. Everyone else I've spoken to from there are pretty helpful, but I don't interact much with them. Overall, i like them.

I ve had really great experiences with Winston Personnel, especially working with Fran Gellis. She does a great job and it show because her walls are covered in thank you notes from happy clients. She has landed me with really great freelance and full-time work; Fran is my go to when looking for Opportunities as well as quality candidates. She s the best!

My recruiter Fran Gellis is by far the best person I have ever worked with in a job search. When I first came in to interview with her she was extremely kind and personable. After she took me under her wing, she was very quick in letting me know about existing opportunities and submitting my resume to companies.
I work in fashion, which requires both a resume and portfolio for interviews. Fran is great about telling you what type of work the company is looking for and how to appeal to a potential interviewer. I have never met a recruiter so intent on finding me a job. She encouraged me to send her my work so she could give feedback and suggest changes before showing it to interviewers.
Always quick to respond to emails and calls, Fran is truly committed to helping the candidates she works with. She feels like a friend you can always rely on and her constant support and advice helped me to quickly find a job after a year long search. I cannot say enough good things about my experience.

The worse company ever, please try to avoid working for it at all cost.
For any questions the people in the front are the only one working and that s only if go there in person but if you call you are out of luck.

I had the pleasure of working with a young lady name Cristina Vargas. She is truly the best she went above and beyond for me i never met someone who care about someone she just met .Thanks to her I now work for a hospital going on 3 years THANK YOU SO MUCH CRISTINA !!

My recruiter Cristina Vargas is GREAT!!!!!!!! She's such an amazing person, she really works hard with you in getting a job. Thanks to her I got hired permanently at the hospital I was temping for. So grateful for her. If it wasn't for her I would have never got offered the position. Thank you so much Cristina. Totally appreciate you & everything you've done for me.. YOU SO ROCK!!!!!! Blessings on Blessings!!!!!!!!!

My recruiter Astride V. is the best, she works really hard and she always tries to keep me steadily employed. She s always available to answer answer any questions or concerns that I have.

The Rep, Jennifer Wasserman, is rude and highly unprofessional. She told me "the company liked you. Do you want a second interview?" I said yes. But the following day she played like she had so many other important things and thanked me for reminding her about following up with that company and how she would get back to me asap. I NEVER RECEIVED AN EMAIL ABOUT DATE & TIME OF SECOND INTERVIEW. It's unfortunate that these agencies are middle men to prospective employees. They seem to play games and waste our time. Just give us the direct contact of the Hiring Manager & we (prospective employees) will handle the rest. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!

waste of time, will jump through hoops for an assignment, pay is not great, and good luck getting to speak to payroll or about benefits

My interactions with Winston Staffing was effective and simple. I was connected to Steve Bastien, as I was looking for temp work to do. We communicated via email and phone, and then an appointment as set up for me to go into the office in person. I recommend getting there earlier than your appointment time, because there will be a lot of other candidates there and you have to fill out paperwork at reception. When I met with Steve, he took the time to hear what I was looking for, what skills I had and how it could translate into other fields aside from the one I was previously working in. Together we fixed my resume to make it intentional for what we were looking for. The following day I had an interview! And then the employer called a few days later to offer me the position. I highly recommend Winston Staffing and I want to dedicate these 5 stars to Steve Bastien and his passion & dedication for his work !

I highly recommend Steve Bastien. I was really impressed by his work ethic. When I first met with him he walked me through all the testings I needed to become more marketable for positions in my field; he even gave me interview tips based on my demeanor (which really came in handy later on). He ran different job opportunities by me every three days and after two weeks or so, I had an interview! My experience with Winston Staffing was a great one, thanks to Steve.

People should learn to respect each other because we are all human beings and not horses its a shame what I am reading about this agency disgusting !!! For some one to tell someone to loose weight before she can get hire I think its discrimination smh!!!

If there s zero i will give them zero .soooooooo bad company .They are big liars .I don t recommend them for any reason .

I loved working with my recruiter Steve. Throughout my on-boarding and recruitment process, we really bonded. I don t know too much about the other recruiters but to me, he s one of the best recruiters at Winston. He s always upfront and honest with me. We worked together on fine tuning my resume and it has worked out great for me. His work ethic was very positive, and forward thinking. He put in place a lot of new ideas that made recruiting easier and faster. It didn t take long for me to go on a few interviews. I m now in a great new role. I enjoyed my time with him and see him doing great things in the future.

Steven Bastien is the recruiter that I ve been working with . He s professional , a great communicator, and a good person that gets the job done ! I would recommend him to anyone that s looking for a job .

Winston Staffing is a good temp agency when I first went to go meet with Steve. The front desk staff was polite, the atmosphere was nice and everything was done in a timely manner.

I am extremely thankful to Steven Bastien working with him has been amazing, very easy person to talk to, respectful and has your best interest at heart. He is someone you can definitely count on at Winston Staffing.

Cristina Vargas is the best recruiter Ever! She s passionate about what she do. She s a great listener and a wonderful individual. I ve been working with her as my recruiter for 3 years now and now I am officially a Clerical Associate for Health and Hospitals

My recruiters name was Cristina Vargas she was awesome a very nice girl. Sent me about two options for jobs. I went out on an interview for one and got completely lost when I called her at the office no answer so I emailed her and got a call, not from Cristina, but some very rude lady at the office. She was going off at how I should follow directions and it wasn t hard to get to the office. Mind you I had taken a train and TWO busses it was really far. She gave me the nastiest attitude and was very unprofessional. I have no idea who she is, spoke to her ONCE but that was enough for me to not want their services anymore. Plus all the jobs they where trying to get me into where paying an awful amount an hr. Nothing close to what I wanted. Cristina was great but who ever she decided to pass my call to was horrible and just made it uncomfortable for me to want to work with them.

I had the privilege of working with Steve Bastien. He was absolutely amazing! Steve was diligent in getting me through the on boarding process smoothly and even when rough rounds came he remained positive and kept searching until finding a great position for me! You will not be disappointed

My recruiter Steve has placed me in a location that I am absolutely happy with. He has diligently and without fail worked hard to get me in the ideal position i was looking for he's been a huge supporter in getting people in the places they want to be. I couldn't have done it without his help thanks again Steve!

Deceiving, slow to respond, SCAM. Felt like this company was fishing. After agreeing upon a pay rate and getting submitted for a position, the recruiter goes on to tell me that the positions have been filled. I go to find that several other agencies have the same positions still open and even offering better rates. Asked the recruiter how this was so and was told that sorry he forgot to tell me it had opened up again and that he had resubmitted me but for a rate that was now $200 lower. The effort and time I put into trying to obtain job with what I thought was an honest and decent company was all a waste of time- which was my experience with this one.

This is my second review about this agency and the recruiter I was dealing with. I took down the first review after giving no stars to the recruiter Akber because I thought I would give him the benefit of the doubt. He reached out to me three months ago after applying to one of the agencies job postings and advertised the agency and how many connections they had to hospitals, big corporations, city jobs and etc. Akber got my hopes up in expressing how much help and assistance he can be during my job search and in the three months of looking for work he set up one interview. But only after I put up the first review about a month ago that is when he reached out to me finally set up an interview at Weill Cornell hospital. After sending numerous of emails with no responses and phone calls I am back to square one. Haven t heard anything from akber after that interview, I sent two emails in the last two days and still no response. This agency and their recruiters are very unprofessional, I can t speak for all of them but by reading the reviews of others I should have definitely stood clear of them. I have been dealing with another agency called Larkin Agency, a small agency with only about 5 staff members. In the three weeks of dealing with that agency Nancy has set me up on three interviews and scheduling another one this week. For all those seeking employment I would recommend Larkin over Winston. Winston sells dreams and gets your hopes up but doesn t follow through. I would give no stars but they get one star for one interview in the three months of dealing with them.

If I could, I would give no stars. The staff are very unprofessional. I was given an appointment. However, upon going there, I had to wait about 4 hours before even seeing one of the recruiters. I don't know why it took so long since I had all my paper work. What's the point of an appointment if you have to wait till like 3 hours later or more to be seen? After that I spoke with one of the recruiters who said she'd try her best to get me a job. I haven't heard back from her since, despite emailing her. If they have no courtesy to answer back, they are not worth it. Go at your own risk. I should've believed the other reviews before I decided to go to this place.

My recruiter, Astride Victor has been working with me for the past 2 years. She is very responsive and always try to work with my schedule as well as trying to fulfill any requests that I have made. Thanks to her I am a prospective employee at one of the healthcare facility she has put me on to.

Steve Bastien was extremely helpful and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a job. He makes sure that he sets his clients up for success based on their skills and experience. If you are currently looking for a job make sure you call and ask for Steve Bastien and I can assure you that your new job will be on the way. Steve works quickly and his work ethic is inspiring. I highly recommend him as a recruiter , you won t be disappointed !

Melissa Allen was extremely disrespectful and discourteous. She was rude and dismissive towards me. What a complete shame than any working professional would behave this way. If I could give them a zero I would.

I only want to ask one question: do you really have real jobs available? Stop posting fake posts!

well i got lucky i guess,, hired on the spot. but then nothing for a little... just keep trying other ones as well and stop complaining good luck!

I had the pleasure of working with Steve, he was able to get me into a terrific position.

Awful customer service. I'm not sure where I applied to or how they got my contact information but the woman that called me was super rude. She asked if i was at my last position and I said no, so she proceeded to ask where I am now and who owns my current company. When I asked what the position was she responded with "well why would you be trying to leave if you just hot there?". I said I'm not and she hung up on me. I called back to complain and they apparently have no system at all to see who out of their staff placed that call. Rude and unorganized as a company.

Terrible company! I had a recruiter by the name of Monique Allen who literally sent me too offices who were never hiring or four other people who just interviewed for the same employer on a temp assignment! Really was a waist of time and carfare being spent! Very heartless and cut throat individual! Whatever you do stay away from this agency! I was told I would be employed the day after Memorial Day! Big Lie and Vindictive young woman!

Someone from this company just called my phone and was very rude. Not only did she hang up the phone on me but caught an attitude when I asked her to identify herself. I like to know who I'm speaking to on the phone. Not sure how they got my information, but I would hope they never call back.

Ms.Victor's training and influence helped to me to focus on key goals in my field of practice...Thank you !!

main issue with this agency was working with Rose. Avoid if you can. There are better agencies for staffing.

Horrible staffing agency. They make nothing but false promises. I never contacted them rather they reached out to me and told me they could easily have me placed in a hospital for a job opportunity. I went in filled out all the information and they continued to show me all the positions that I d be a perfect candidate for. After not hearing from them for a week, I was then pushed on to another agent in the company who took over my file. Instead of getting me into a hospital which they promised they sent me out on interviews for non profit organization and simply other jobs. These jobs have a low rate of pay and since you are being paid through Winston your rate will be even lower. They just try to get you placed so they could get their cut. Rose and Hemala are horrible agents. They call and email you a million times but they just don t know how to do the job they promised

Not the greatest agency. After working at a facility for almost a year, all of a sudden I got a phone call that my assignment was over and the company that I was linked with stated that they loved me....

Reached out to them. Had Claudine May but she never called back and sounded pretty condescending. I've worked for a few temp agencies in the past and this is one of the worst I've encountered in etiquette. Recommend the Bachrach group if you're looking for good temp work of the Forum group.

Steve Bastien is phenomenal! Always ready to adhere to your concerns and is usually 99% successful in rectifying any issues. If you re looking for work during these trying times, hit up Steve at Winston Staffing.

Unprofessional biased company who picks and chooses whom they give assignments to as staff. They also practice retaliation against you if you dare question why others are given preferential treatment. Finally they do not offer competitive rates and will "lowball" you on your hourly rate. Worst company ever.

I would reccomend working for Winston. Astride is very professional and works with your schedule . She gives me a schedule on a weekly or monthly basis. She is also very easy to contact just Incase I need assistance. The hiring process through Winston was very smooth . I applied on a Monday and I was ready to start work on a Friday .

Akber is the best recruiter. I've worked with other agencies before and they always sent me on numerous jobs that never went perm. He fixed my resume and did everything to get me into the department of health. I went perm in seven months and now a city employee.

Invested hours of my time showing up for a meeting with a staffing agent to be told the available job I applied for job description changed, I am overqualified for any positions unless I lower my salary expectations which were already low based on my experience.

Clearly a bait and switch. And doesn t help a seeking candidate.

Cheap rates!! Cheap rates!! My recruiter, M. Palkin would give me such lousy rates. As nurse with experience and education I was never so insulted in my professional career with those 30 dollar rates... and the sites....sheesh. She allowed one of her "big clients" to make such unprofessional remarks about me without even having a conversation about these things. She never reached out to me to discuss these scenarios. Poot.

I met with Fran at the agency in February regarding full-time fashion jobs. Within a week I had a good job offer, which I've gladly accepted.
Unlike some agents I've dealt with in the past, Fran is very good with follow-up and giving advice.
I am very thankful, and will definitely use her services again if needed. Highly recommended!

Extremely unprofessional. I was criticized for 5 minutes straight that I didn't have a job already since graduation and that I should be working at McDonald's at this point. I was then told that I didn't have enough experience for the position I applied for and I was hung up on while I was still speaking. I've never experienced this much rudeness during my job search. Jeff Kliegman has no right having a career as a recruiter if this is the way he treats candidates. IT professionals should stay far away from here.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that this company's ratings reflects poorly on them. I was contacted by Karen and did not think that a singular person should be representative of an entire company. However, I now see that her actions and apparent incompetence is a direct result of a poor company and she is most likely a direct product of her environment.

Karen contacted me first; I never made any submission to Winston's website nor had I applied to any jobs that they were involved with. The job in question was with Stony Brook University. I have handfuls of family from both sides that have attended SBU, so I liked that a job role relevant to me was revealing itself. It helped that I have a positive history with SBU as well.

The problem was that Karen failed to give me much details. I felt a bit like I was pulling teeth just to get an answer. My main concern was not having a job description. When I finally received one, most of it was redacted. I already wasn't feeling good about the situation but decided to wait to hear more.

I was called after the weekend by Karen telling me I had the job. No interview necessary. I've never had this occur in the history of my job search, nor when I was on the hiring side of the table. So I called SBU using the phone numbers on their website. A recruiter there kindly explained some of the information to me.

This prompted Karen to call me back and she was highly upset that I reached out to them. I apologized because I had never used a temp agency and therefore did not understand the process in full but she insisted that she told me "ALL" of that already. She didn't. Failure to communicate and there I was apologizing to be nice. I don't know how many times she needed me to say I was sorry but she continued to yammer on about it. I knew right then and there that I would not continue my business with her or Winston Staffing.

I wish it ended there but it did not. I told her that I would "Get back to her" about it because I still had the paperwork on my laptop. I called around to recruiters in different companies that I was interested in working with and then finally sent Karen an email simply asking her to withdraw me from consideration for the role with SBU.

Earlier, before my email, Karen told me she'd be in the office until 5pm that day. She began to pelt my phone with calls every 20-40 minutes and well past 5pm (I have the call logs on my phone) and she never left a voicemail nor replied to my email. I guess she finally got it through her head that I lost interest because it was close to 6pm on Monday before the calls stopped and it is now almost 1pm on Wednesday and she is radio silent. Finally.

Overall I would not recommend anyone signing up for Winston Staffing nor do I think anybody should take their call if they solicit you. It seems like from thumbing quickly through the reviews that there are a lot of other recruiters here like Karen, and I cannot believe that they were even capable of earning what is currently a 2.8 out of 5 rating.

My experience with Winston Staffing was great! I met an awesome recruiter, Cristina Vargas who helped me through job experiences. When I joined Winston on January 2016, I did not have experience, just my degree from college and one volunteer service. Cristina Vargas is a great, helpful and patient acquisition, she will make the effort to search either a temporary or permanent positions. With her help and dedication, I got hired in an non-profit organization. I truly recommend you or anyone to Cristina, she is the best, very responsible, organize and prompt. I will thank her always and forever. -Celine Torres

One of the WORST Agencies I have EVER dealt with! HORRIBLE AND DUMB as a rock Sara Stone Account Executive, Winston Staffing, 122 East 42nd Street- 3rd Floor. They IMPOSED a TIME AND DATE when I told them I had a previous arrangement with my kids principal weeks prior and that the time was to close to each other, me living in NJ and the interview in NYC. I arrived late and the interviewer cancelled on me! Now Dumb Sara was to yell over the phone to me. SHE SHOULD BE FIRED!

This place is completely unprofessional, they send you jobs you accept them. They send you to the job(s) and then you never hear back from them again. Then every 6months the cycle begins all over again. By that time neither them nor you no longer knows who your hiring recruiter is, spoke to about 15 different ppl, submitting my information all over again. Begin the cycle again finally told them to just remove me from their list please. Also have spoken to ppl who have worked for them long term and still the same gripes not worth it.

Having Steve Bastien as a recruiter here at Winston staffing has been a phenomenal experience. He is professional and has helped me to catapult my new career journey. I highly recommend working at Winston staffing.

If i could i would not give any stars whatsoever! This is the worst staffing agency i have ever dealt with! the woman (initials I.A.) i interviewed with did not even shake my hand at the initial meeting. i felt completely discriminated and disrespected. I would not recommend this place in a million years! I have not received a call or any correspondences from that woman as of yet. Do yourself a favor and skip this one!

Hey, Winston Staffing comes highly recommended from me as I recently obtained an permanent job at an New York City Hospital. The recruiter Cristina is the best she is professional, detail oriented and great at finding good fits for candidates.

I was here about a year ago. I had a recruiter who I am not going to name who never got back to me. I constantly had to reach out to him and he never called me back for any jobs. There is no excuse for it since it's been a long time and I have reached out to him several times. I think its best to go elsewhere where they actually help you.

Steve Bastien is Amazing he never gave up in my job search, he made sure that i found something that matched my skills, and lifestyle. Thank you Steve i owe you one !!!!!!!

I have worked with the agency since 7 31 2015 and i have had a great experience working in different areas. I just wish that the pay was better!

Bozo had my resume from 4 years ago they were probing told me i wasnt a fit for a job even though i have 10yrs experience for the job presented. Also one of the jobs was related to my old job. Looking at the reviews with these people and the individual i spoke with im glad i wont be wasting my time with these guys.

In all of my job hunting experiences thus far, Steve has been the best recruiter that I have met to date. He let me know that my experiences and education are valuable and encouraged me to not 'sell myself short.' Every agency recruiter that I met, was very dismissive of me and never responded to my inquiries when I reached out for feedback...except Steve. When I become an executive or Head of HR, I'll do my best to bring Steve on my team.

Some of the Staffing Recruiters are truly unprofessional Ronnie Carlton is so Mean Spirited.

Was hired for a position at a hospital 2 hours from where I live. I was told it was $21 an hour. After completing and passing a background check, drug testing and physical I waited a month to hear from them. I got a start date and was excited, only to be told 2 days before starting that it was $6 less than the original amount I would be starting at. I didn t know I was dealing with false information and Liars! Nothing but lies the entire time I have dealt with them. I wouldn t recommend them in any way. Stay clear of rude and unprofessional recruiters and Account Managers because they seem to have many. It was a Crumby job and even worse pay. I Had to quit and start somewhere else, such a waste of time!! Tarsha Tew and Mark Sumi are some of the most unprofessional people I have dealt with up to date. Beware of misleading information and always get things in writing, even if it s a email when being offered a position from a staffing agency. I gave them 1 star and that was too much in my opinion.

Yes I called because I referred to them by a friend. I called and the lady told me to send resume. I sent my resume within 5 minutes. I didn't hear from her all day. I called the next day and she said to send it again, so I did and as of today have not heard back from anyone. Not a courtesy call or anything. I have 15 years and more experience in the work field, I feel my resume was very impressive but I guess they didn't think so. It's ok, I found a great agency where they are very courteous, caring and professional.

Deyanira A. Pimentel is the rudest person i know. She criticized my attire after i told her my reason for wearing what i wore was because my apartment was flooded and i was just getting back on my feet or at least trying. She told me that i should wear makeup because she doesnt want me showing up at these jobs with my face looking as if i just rolled out of bed (verbatim). She also suggested that i change my nail color because it was too bold. The color was green a very sophisticated green but i guess she didnt think so. She told me that i should buy new clothes and show up with a blazer; mind you i had one but i took it off because it was over 85 degrees outside; reason why I didnt wear makeup.. She made me feel extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome. She also told me that i shouldnt wear the jewelry that i wore because it makes too much noise. I had on 3 thin bangles that i got from my dad who is muslim so its a religion thing. My earrings according to her were too long, I should have worn studs and not small drop earrings. I express to her the hours and days that i could and couldnt work and she said that it was fine and i also told her since she made it mandatory that i change my appearance that she would have to give me a week to get things in order. I was not working at the time so my money was very low. She agreed to that as well all to call me later that night and offer me a position for 3 days at a hospital in Jamaica Queens and i live in the Bronx. She kept on going on and on about my clothes which in my opinion was interview attire so i didnt want to show up at the place she sent me to "not presentable" so i turned down the offer and she then said to me " oh dont worry about the nails theyre fine just make sure you get a blouse" i told her i dont have any money and that i am relying on a relative to help me and she kept pushing and pushing. We eventually ended the call and she never called me back to follow up or answered any of my calls or emails. When i did finally speak to her she told me that it's not her job to reach out to me but that i should keep in contact with her and for me not to get an attitude because she's the one helping me.

I've tried countless times to notify someone of the experience i had but i havent been successful. I left numerous messages on the supervisor Charles Orandello phone and even he has yet to call me back. I would never ever recommend anyone to that agency.

Called me and swore they had something for me. I told them I really didn t want to use staffing agencies anymore because they bring you in, and then you never hear back. My recruiter promised it wouldn t be a waste of time. And sure enough that s exactly what it was. When I asked again in an email what the update was, they told me that now the position they had for me was filled. Would ve been nice to know that ASAP.

Its a shame that one person from a company can leave such a bitter taste in the mouth of so many. Luckily I had Jim Westcott. He was great! Found my resume on Monster and called me. I had an interview and a job on the same day. I now go to Jim when I am looking for employees. Great experience, great guy.

Winston Staffing is the only agency I work with. Astride Victor is THE BEST along with the front desk staff!! I'm an Xray Tech and they Know how to take care of business and they always have work available. Very professional and courteous as well.

Winston is a good agency to be apart of. Steve is my recruiter and I have to say that he is one of the best recruiters in Winston. Steve is very helpful and professional. He assisted me with the interview preparations and was consistently there to respond to any inquiries I had. Steve was there all through the process and I generally realized he is accessible to help on the off chance that I required. Very friendly, honest and kind, he made the entire experience totally great! When I accepted the offer - Yay! Steve helped me navigate through the all the paperwork to make sure everything was in order. Steve is amazing, kind and overly accommodating. Would strongly suggest !

Got my current full-time job after being placed by Winston. They initially recruited me. I did not seek them out.
