Comments:
Overall, Spherion does not give a rat's a** about it's temps. Especdially steer clear of Cheryl Ann VanBeek. She never returns phone calls, and doesn't care if you're being harassed and/or mistreated by her client. When voicing your concerns to her, be prepared to hear a list of excuses as she pleads with you to stay (she pays specific homage to Axa Financial) where you are while she does absolutely nothing to remedy the problem. You get placed quickly, but you will immediately be served a platter of BS. IN addition, you have to literally STALK her to get a referral bonus, and she will try to make excuses to not give it to you. Bad pay. Bad administration. Spineless twit of a counselor. Just say "no".
