Incompetent time wasters

Awful temp agency

Recommend

Pros

They are "nice" and "polite" to your face, if that is something you value and If you need a job and have no choice than you have to do what you have to do, namely work for this awful company.

Cons

Generally unprofessional. Terrible communication, management, poor pay and no benefits for temps. No real skill at the job and obviously their clients have no faith in their abilities to find suitable staff - expect to be re-interviewed and "checked out" by the client even for temp assignments - a clear sign that the clients have been burned in the past by poor quality temp staff. Just another greedy temp agency skimming 25% of your salary, if they can find you regular work I guess that it's worth it but this company is barely making it and the staff is the usual motley collection of sad sacks who couldn't care less.

Thank you; we encourage honest, candid feedback, and we’d appreciate the opportunity to engage in a dialogue with you about your experience. It seems there may be a misunderstanding regarding how Salem operates. We do have a great benefits program for our assignment employees, and our compensation structure has been benchmarked as highly competitive. Please know that Salem does not take any portion of assignment employees’ salary, nor is this a common industry practice. Please call us so that we may further discuss your experience.
