Pros

They found a temp position and called me 2 days after I had my interview at the Palmer Group office. My impression is the major companies in the Des Moines area call Palmer first when they need temps.

Cons

This was supposed to be a 6 month assignment, but only 2 weeks into the assignment the client decides they don't need temps anymore and the job abruptly ended. Now I'm trying to get another assignment through Palmer, but they won't return my calls. And to add insult to injury, my paychecks showed a lower hourly rate than I was told I'd get when I started the assignment. Of course Palmer won't answer my questions about that either.

Pros

They had me come into their office the day after I called and got me into a position rather quickly. They actively recruit both workers and clients pretty aggressively.

Cons

They'll say anything to get you to accept one of their positions. They overstated my hourly rate, my paycheck was always short on pay, and then they had the gall to say I needed to work overtime hours WITHOUT getting paid for them! The position I was working in was non-exempt, meaning I was supposed to get overtime pay when working over 40 hours a week.
