Last time I spoke to a representative on the phone and she was not very professional or polite, simply because I told her that I was looking for a job as a Data Entry and I also told her that I was open to other opportunities. She told me there was no work for Data Entry, which was only for Miami and she hung up the phone. What exceptional customer service! (Mr. Sarcasm)

This agency only caters to people who dont appear to speak English. I had luck finding jobs until I got offered a job at fresh direct. Not only was the person who interviewed me incompetent. She said I got the job but had no idea what the hours was what days I'll b working what days I'll have off or hourly wage. I declined the job offer and never came back. Also, be prepared to come at 5am some days and wait till 2 or 3pm only to be finally told there is nothing available and repeat process almost entire week. It's not worth it

They helped me find a job that fits my schedule & pay rate, but I worked a whole week + overtime only to not be paid for any of my time the following week. I clocked in, and out at the job as I was told, I called up to active staffing maybe about 5 times to verify my hours, and I was hung up on every time. Very unsatisfying, I have very important things I need to take care of including transportation, but now I have no money to do any of it.

You are misinformed. I got off the phone with them three days ago and they told me in their words... "You should have delt with that problem when the queens office was open now there's nothing me or my boss can do for you".That was the exact words from the staff. It was never about lack of jobs at the time I was called like I said before I was blocked and they don't want to atleast try to fix it.

As i get older I'm realizing the importance of working hard to get to where you need to be in life. I wouldn't waste my time here, one time I came in at 7:30 and there was a short, chubby Spanish guy, not Mr Vincent, I forgot his name. He was very loud and unprofessional and I sat and waited to be interviewed by him for 3 hours while he chit, chatted to his co-workers about nothing. I get a racist vibe there, it seems they show alot of favoritism to Spanish people. Please don't waste your time here.

For the most part I've had good experiences with them. Started out by going to the office in queens where they sent me to a few places as a temp before finally shunting me to Fresh Direct. Everyone I've met, from both the Queens and Manhattan office, have been nothing but friendly, especially Will and Nadia who are in charge of finding people to work at Fresh Direct. The place is great, considering they don't charge you a thing. They recently set up Direct Deposit so you don't have to constantly visit their offices just to get your checks. If you work for Fresh Direct keep an eye on the hours

I want to thank everyone here at Active Staffing for the help they have given me. I was out of work for several months and I had been going around to different temp agencies hoping to find work. I left most agencies feeling hopeful but as days and weeks passed I realized that they were not going to help me find work. Three days after I came in to active staffing, I was working. From the first conversation that we had, they were straight forward about what I could expect and areas where I might need to improve. I have had no issues with getting paid, and when there have been minor problems they
