Pros

They do offer a decent, inexpensive health insurance plan for workers--unlike many temporary agencies.

Cons

At the factory Express sent me to, I was sexually harassed by a full-time employee. After attempting to resolve the situation myself, I reported it to both Express and the company I'd been assigned to. They took it very seriously at first, then fired me for fabricated reasons. (I'd worked there for nearly a year, was well-liked by everyone, met production goals consistently, and could be counted on to put in lots of over-time when necessary.) I filed for unemployment benefits, and Express had the audacity to deny my claim. I easily prevailed at the required hearing to determine my eligibility for benefits, and I filed a formal complaint with the local Human Relations Commission against both Express and the factory they'd assigned me to. Moral of the story: Express does not have your back, report sexual harassment at your own peril.

Pros

They work fast for that first assignment.

Cons

They didn't seem as interested in getting me another assignment after the first was complete, and the client I worked with was very satisfied with my work, and volunteered to be a future reference.

Pros

- Industry is booming b/c of chip & PIN conversion coming up October 2015

Cons

- Easily the worst part was going to 14 "verified" appointments and having 12 of them tell me they never heard of us, much less set any appointment. I was angrily run off by several merchants for "ambushing" them!!! Wasted 2 full tanks of gas & 1 week of my life before I stopped the rot & quit. - They would not provide contact info for your pre-set appointments. Probably b/c of above. I ended up trying to Google & find phone #s on my own. - Leads were also all very poor quality. - Over the phone training only for just 2 days. Never met a single person from the company before I was sent into the field. A very strange position to be in, advocating & making promises for a ghost corporation... - Manager was based in a thousand miles away in Texas, and stopped answering phone @ 3p my time b/c it was 5p in Texas even when he knew I was at appointments & could not close w/o his approval. - Appointments are randomly located & timed for same day ONLY, so be prepared to literally criss-cross the entire city all day long. Sometimes they are drive-like-a-possessed-demon to still be late, sometimes a 4+ hr break, with no ability to consolidate or book ahead of time (next day, week, etc.) - Several merchants told me they already had seen 5+ other processing companies before me. They certainly won't choose Express as several appointments were after manager turned phone off & I couldn't give them quotes for anything w/o finance dept.
