Awful company to work for I had some very bad personal issues going off which I explained and they wouldn't help me by changing my shift patterns this contributed even more to my depression and I needed time off they would constantly ring me and wanted me to come in for reviews every week. They would question why my Doctor put what he did on sickness notes, they didn't even pay the correct amount of sickness pay and I had to get in touch with Inland revenue. They would put the phone down on me etc. They would also screw up your bonuses sometimes overpaying people or vice versa and late. Even head office was useless when I got them involved they didnt return phone calls has they said they would. I also was spoken to rudely and told by one member of staff that her working hours was nearly over so I had to ring the following day to resolve my pay issues however if I were to do that or any other call centre staff you would get fired for bad customer service.

I can’t think of any pros

Cons

I had a very disappointing and unprofessional experience with Manpower during an orientation on April 6, 2026. I arrived early at the job site (around 8:00 AM) and was ready to begin work. Around 9:00 AM, I was wrongly accused of having a body odor issue and was removed from orientation in front of others. This accusation was completely incorrect — I was wearing clean clothes, deodorant, and cologne. The actual source of the odor was another individual, but I was the one singled out and embarrassed. Because of this mistake, I was prevented from starting work and lost a full week of wages. I attempted to resolve the issue by calling shortly after (around 10:38 AM), but no proper resolution was provided, and I was told I would receive a follow-up call that never came. Due to the seriousness of this situation, I have filed formal complaints with the FTC, BBB, and the Illinois Department of Labor regarding lost wages and unprofessional treatment. This situation was handled very poorly and lacked basic professionalism and accountability. Being publicly singled out and removed without proper investigation is unacceptable. I hope the company takes responsibility, addresses this internally, and ensures it does not happen to anyone else.
