I have been on and off with Tel staffing for approx 3 yrs now. There are alot of staffing companies in Pensacola. However, Tel is my go to agency. The main reason is because they get you hired quickly. The other reason is that the communication from staff is excellent. You don't get put on run around and you don't wonder what's going on with your application. They email you and keep you informed. If anyone is seeking employment save yourself the headaches and go to Tel.

Been with Total Leasing since 2014. I own a small construction company and they've gone above and beyond any other P.E.O. with their helpfulness and overall knowledge of everything from employee leasing, to health insurance for my employees and I. I would definitely recommend them to everyone in need of payroll processing and or workers comp. Great company, even better people!
