      I went in to Kelly services and had everything set and complete within a week. ******* is the best. She was very helpful and made the process as fast as possible. I had a position within a week.

      This is *** *. I recently submitted a review of Kelly Educational Staffing (KES) and rated the company one out of five stars. As such, I dont know why my rating posted as four out of five stars. Also, throughout my review, a number of words were changed to ***. With regard to my rating, I would have given KES a zero if it had been an option.

      I would be tickled to see a class action lawsuit filed against Kelly Educational Staffing (KES) - and a fair number of its client school districts - by both current and former *** employees, especially those who have served in the capacity of substitute teacher. Its no secret that public education - especially after the onset of COVID 19 - continues to suffer immeasurably due to a severe lack of both full fledged and available substitute staff. Simply put, the problem has been - and continues to be - exacerbated by the fact that those who are willing to go into the schools - many of whom are certified teachers themselves with experience - fail to receive adequate support - and respect - not only from the districts, but from *** itself. In many instances, the bold and brazen students are supported by - in many cases - a less than competent school administration. The result: Fewer - to put it mildly - individuals entering teacher preparation programs across *****************, numerous vacancies - in all grade levels and subject areas - that simply cannot be filled, and students now being warehoused in school buildings that, for all intents and purposes, are nothing more than glorified daycare centers. A special thanks to *** and a fair number of its client school districts for their contributions to the decline - and potential downfall - of public education.

      Trying to sign up as a substitute and the process is horrible! No support what so ever. It has also cost me seventy dollars to pay for substitute certification and other forms. I have a valid teaching license and they won't except that. Terrible company and school districts should no use Kelly Services.

      Terrible company to work for. Both ******* and **** at the ********************* should not be in positions of power, as they do not even try to help associates and are quick to fire whenever they feel like doing so. Terrible communication and zero incentives to work for them. I recommend applying through ***** directly, as the pay is better and you are treated better. ***** cares - Kelly services does not.

      I have been on the phone for the last 8 hours trying to call out of work and get a confirmation code. Listening to an automated system. There is no way this business is still running. I also have a check from 2006 that has never been paid out. The worst company I have ever been apart of. I would stay far away from working with this company. This is in ***********.

      They have messed up my paycheck 4 times. 3 times they paid the wrong pay rate. The 4th time my direct deposit was missing. You cant get them to respond to you. I am a certified teacher with 2 masters degrees. I was long term subbing for my school before Kelly Education took over. I never had these problems when my district handled, but as soon as they contracted their subs out to Kelly Education my direct deposits kept messing up. I am getting a teaching contract with my school now. I just subbed to get my foot in the door. However, I will never recommend Kelly Education to anyone, because chasing down my paychecks every week is too stressful!

      Would not recommend working for them!!!!!! I applied for and was hired for chat tech support! First day of training Im told its phone support!Their insurance ***** and its pretty much a marketplace insurance that you pay out of pocket! Mine was $301 a month (nothing was employer paid supposedly a discount) There is no real excused absence but if your Mac goes out! NOTHING is excused even with an excuse! Even if your internet goes down they do not allow you to go somewhere until your internet is fixed. I was hit with horrible storms 4 days straight which left me with no internet. Begged to relocate until my internet was restored by the technician that was set to come out was told no and had to sit and accumulate points. I also was given a NCNS the day of my brother funeral after receiving an email saying I was approved for bereavement (which is non paid by the way)I wouldnt suggest this company to anyone! They only want you working LIFE ISSUES doesnt matter at all, even things completely out of your control

      Punitive employer, dismissive of loyal and hardworking substitute teachers. Find another agency if you would like to substitute teach.

      Worse company to work for. My onboarding Specialist *********************************** was horrible to deal with and even when you finally got her on the phone all you could hear was her kid in the background which made me understand why she hated answering calls. I've been waiting since January 19th for a call back by a supervisor and or manager. The reps said they are always in meetings why i haven't received a call back. I was stated to have an unfavorable print and I would be given the chance to defend myself. Took 3 weeks to get a copy of the report and even after fixing the issue ******* was literally useless. I tried to explain its not about the job I need to correct the misinformation but *********************************** nor ******* The supervisor who was suppose to call back can't seem to understand that. *********************************** said her company isn't willing to accept the corrected information
