Pros

Little to no experience is needed to get a job there and it will be a good stepping stone to better jobs with much better benefits and pay.

Cons

Each office is an independently owned and operated franchise so most are owned by crude businessmen who care about dollars more than employees or the people that use the staffing services. Because each is a small business, they offer little to no benefits, and they expect you to work anywhere from 45-55 hours per week. They offer little to no training, because the training programs that they have you do independently online, have nothing to do with the day to day operations of the office. The work environment inside the office was very toxic, where tattle tailing on your co-workers was rewarded by the francaise owner and called being a "team player" Outside of the way the businesses are run, the type of people that come to Express for employment are largely people who have trouble finding work elsewhere because of criminal records, poor work history, lack of skills, unreliability, and poor work ethic. In the 2 years I worked there I was yelled at, had clipboards and pens thrown in my face, was threatened with violence, and on my last week there, a guy told me he hopes my mom dies over the phone. Many of the people that would come into the office and we would hook up with good jobs, we would later see on the news or in the paper that they had been arrested for theft, burglary, assault, and even murder. These are not people you want to work with.

Pros

The owner, Jessica, is fantastic as is the sales manager, Kirby. It can be a fun environment and putting people in a position to succeed is always rewarding.

Cons

Employees are not held to any sort of reasonable professional standard. Where it directly impacted this role at the time was that at least 25 hours every week were spent essentially begging employees to turn in time cards rather than doing anything productive. Standards seemed pretty inconsistent at times. The company felt a little aimless. There were several conflicting plans for the future. My understanding is that in the six months after my separation, they more or less replaced the entire staff for various reasons. Maybe they got it figured out now.
