Today's Staffing

My cousin and I worked at this job for about 4 or 5 years and we are still registered with Today's if we wish to go back and do it again. If you are good and fast at data entry they will put you there and keep you there. And you do earn bonuses. Or you did anyways. My cousin and I had a bonus check every week when we got paid. We got to listen to our cd players also. We haven't done the job in a couple of years but we have been thinking of doing it again. Hope it hasn't changed too much because it was the easiest money I ever made. P.S. The parking lot isn't that far behind the place and they are constantly watching it. I always felt safe there. And so what if you have to do extractions, that is the easiest job in the place. more

Got up at 5am the day I was to report to work on the 1st shift. Called their hotline before I came in (as I was instructed to do). Recording told me to show up with my IDs so I burn gas, put miles on my car and drive down there to work. After we fill out all the paperwork we are told there is no work available but can stick around if we want to do 3rd shift. I cannot do 3rd shift and told them this when I applied for this position. In my Opinion, they knew they did not have the work and lured desperate people down there under false pretenses. Even if I had the flexibility to work third shift, I would have no desire to be in that neighborhood after dark. It is quite a distance from the back of the building parking lot to the front door. Have to admit I was angry, not so much for myself since I am not in desperate need of a job but feel really sorry for those that were desperate for work. Especially feel sorry for those who paid bus fare to come down there for NOTHING. Pros: Nothing Cons: Will try to con you into 3rd shift more

If you are looking at the overtime and bonus money, you can't count on it. The hours you get are determined by how much mail they receive that day, so you may work less than 4 hours or end up extracting mail rather than doing data entry. Also you don't work 7 days a week all of the time. Lastly, there is no guarantee that you will be picked to do data entry just because you pass the test. They may put you to work doing extraction (opening and sorting mail) instead which does not include any bonus pay. Also there bonuses were drawings not absolute bonuses. Pros: they do have work every 3 months or so Cons: you can't count on working a full day more
