Palmer Group (Iowa) Response

Thank you for the feedback! We apologize that you believe we fell short of the standard that we strive for at Palmer Group, in terms of our leadership quality and ethical practices. We have worked hard to create a culture of openness and honesty in everything that we do and, on the whole, our peers have echoed our success in this with awards like Best Executive Search Firm for 15 years running but there is always room for improvement. If you feel that there are specific ways that we could improve our leadership processes or ethics trainings, we would appreciate the opportunity to review and consider them. With that said, if there is anything else that you'd like to give us feedback on, feel free to let us know.

Assignment Cut Short

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.

Great Experience

Pros

They are very professional, and have worked hard to help me find placement. They were able to find me a permanent job several years ago. I am working with them again and they have been very helpful.

Cons

Because I only want part-time work, I sometimes feel I need to remind them about me. I give them a call every now and then, especially if I see something on the website that I think is a good match.
