Pros

At first, placed me very quickly. Company I was placed at unfortunately lost contracts after business slowed, but was reassigned very fast.

Cons

After about 4 months I have been with this agency I have had problems with co workers that once complaints were made they were swept under the rug or ignored completely. Last week I became ill while at work, was sent home on Wednesday, Friday I seen a doctor who then cleared me to return only to learn that same person who sent me home had terminated me. Express refused to advocate on my behalf. Or assist me locating other work. Very horrible and unprofessional treatment!

Pros

Each office is franchised, so you won't get the same experience. This means some run really well, and can have great teams/job offerings for associates based on region. The trainings are good and thorough.

Cons

Each office is franchised, so you won't get the same experience. There is no uniformity or standards to level out each franchise--each office can run their business how they want to, and thus, you will have offices getting away with some crazy stuff. This can reflect poorly on the reputations of other franchises. If the office brings in money, corporate doesn't care. Your franchise owner isn't required to offer benefits, and you can't get them through corporate. The associates working have better benefits than us.
