Medix Staffing Solutions

Brief summary of what they do: they are recruiters that find you a job. They are utilized by employers to find temporary employees for them.
Let’s get the good acpects out of the way first. The staff here are very friendly and helpful. They always answer my questions quickly and courteously.
They also found me a job within a week of getting on their lists. I enjoy the job I work at now.
Now come the reasons for the 4 star rating.
Neither Medix nor their employees speak to you directly about all the consequences of what being a temp are. Make sure you ask about the following if you are considering becoming a temp.
1) You have to wait anywhere from 3 to 6 (or even more) months before you are even **considered** for permanent employment. If you do get permanent status, you have to wait 3 more months for your benefits, meaning you might have to wait up to 9 months to get any benefits.
2) You do not get paid for any hours you don’t work. This sounds logical until you realize you don’t get paid for **holidays** or for hours not worked if your work closes down for any reason (i.e. weather, early release, summer hours). Thanksgiving and Christmas are out of the question. I was very upset at this because I’m working to get them money and they won’t even consider paying me holiday pay.
Bottom line:
Go here if you are in desparate need of a job, they’ll more than likely find you one.
However, be aware that as a temp you don’t get paid for holidays or when work closes down early, you might have to wait up to 9 months for health benefits, and during the first 3 to 6 months you have no sick/​PTO time being accrued.
