Express Employment Services quickly placed me into a position. They were professional and courteous. The payroll process was quick and flawless. I didn’t have to wait to receive my paycheck. Whenever I had a concern I received a prompt response.

Cons

The career opportunities are limited to specific local areas. Many of the positions are temporary with limited growth potential. The types of positions are all similar.

Pros

I am extremely happy working at the Council Bluffs, IA location. The Express in Council Bluffs is a family owned business and they go out of their way to make me feel like family as well. Very friendly and fun environment. Being a staffing consultant is a very fulfilling position. It makes you feel great knowing that you are making a difference in someone's life by not just getting them a job but instead, a career. The company as a whole is very supportive. The training and resources that are available make it easy to succeed.

Cons

It can be a stressful job at times as there is a lot of competition. However, Express Employment differs very much from the other staffing agencies in our area. We mostly provide full time- long term employment and offer a thorough interview to understand exactly what someone is looking for.
