I've only been with Birmingham branch of Purestaff for about 6 months and I found the team somewhat communicative, moreover especially Conna who actually brought me onside with a work opportunity. I always had a good rapport with him whenever he was available as I know he's had a few personal issues so when he wasn't available the other members of the office team I feel were somewhat more formal in attitude. Overall I feel that even though you might think that the team aren't doing what you feel they should be, it's sometimes the company you're placed with that are obstinate and not playing ball

Steady work, they offered me a job 5 days a week working for a big warehouse as an order picker but the place was understaffed, no radio, blamed every day for things I didn't even do, no talking. I left with one week notice, plenty of time to look for another person to replace me. Been 2 weeks and not heard back from them. I'd hope this isn't the ONLY contract they have, understandable they are desperate for staff but an agency has got to have other opportunities. Just found it a bit rude how nobody has contacted me. The pros like I said, steady work, good pay, paid on time, if you want to work
