It is a shame you have made this stance. Posts aren't negative or positive. They should be considered feedback to the organization who should be mindful of perceptions. Whether those perceptions are factual or just opinions, an organization should be able to develop an understanding of the things they do correctly and areas that could use improvement.

As a moderator you should understand where comments come from. You've deleted one of my comments which is also still posted in another spot, oh well!
I did not say anything negative nor what I stated was untruthful. Volt in San Diego is a TERRIBLE company who treats people very badly. I guess you are no more than a NAZI type who gets pleasure by moderating what you personally feel that you do not want others to hear.
Perhaps you should step into our shoes and see what its like to have to be treated like crap and know that these agencies are killing the pay rate & benefits of the job market.
You are located in Austin so you can see first hand how the agencies have caused pay rates to hit an all time low, especially now since they have convinced almost every Semiconductor company to do their hiring through them. I made more money 25 years ago as an entry lever worker than what these agencies now want to pay experienced people to start.
My only guess is that you get some sort of fee each time you delete the negatives, otherwise you would want the truth to be told. If you really feel Volt in San Diego is so great then give a call and see what back stabbing, two faced asses they really are.

I work for indeed. We host these forums for free for you to find out about companies. I have no relationship with Volt or any other company that we host forums about.

I agree with "the TRUTH". Agencies like Volt and Siemens are destroying the market by pushing lower and lower wages. Volt appears to be the #1 staffer for Microsoft in Seattle, and they have trashed salary ranges here. They pushing "tier-1/tier-2" postings with a range of $19-$23 per hour (and no benefits). And that is regardless of your experience. That may sound good to some people, however, the cost of living in Seattle is outrageous.
However, I commend Audrey (the Host) for not removing the TRUTH's comments.

Who is pushing payrates down, the provider or the hiring company? Keep in mind that providers confined by what the hiring companies are willing to pay. The hiring companies want it cheap because consumers want cheap products.

Volt is pushing pay rates down. The less they get the common folk to work for, the more money they get.

Volt is getting paid $45-60 an hour for each hour you work. You only see $19-23 of this. They have absolute control over how much money you make. Check out www.orangebadges.com/toast.asp for more information.

I have said it before and will say it again. This sort of rant is ridiculous. No matter what time in history you go, nor what type of job, nor who is involved, nor what kind of government system your country operates under, the person who makes the shoes never makes the same amount of money as the person who owns the shop.

You make the shoes - he buys the leather, pays for the building, purchases the coal for the fire to keep everyone warm, does the advertising, takes all the hits when business slows down a bit, and maintains the business presence in the village.

If the work you do can be sold for $60 per hour then that is what the market will bear. If other people who are equally qualified as you are accepting $20 an hour for doing that work then that is all you are going to get. You will never see that $60 per hour unless you own the shop or the agency so quit bellyaching about it.

Believe it or not it is a perfectly fair system because there is no one keeping you from starting your own company and it can even be an agency who does better than Volt if you have the moxie.

You could even drive the wages up by paying your workers more and take business away from Volt. Now do you really think it would happen that way or would you be sitting there with a list of people whom nobody wanted to hire because of the high price?

Volt can be rather ruthless in pushing wages down, but that's their job. Microsoft delivers all CSG listings to Volt and Sakson & Taylor, so you can presumably choose. Volt is an indifferent and occasionally incompetent agency. If I handled objectives as they do, I would not be employable at Microsoft. This is just one joker's opinion. That said, what do you want? It's a market. Shop around. Take the best deal. Live with it. Since I began playing the broader market of agencies, Volt has only entertained a competitive bid one time, and ultimately they withdrew it. Volt is in the business of hiring people who don't know what their labor is worth. Everyone's got an angle.

Volt works within a billrate. That billrate transfers to 20-30 less for their contingent staff. More for the recruiter if the recruiter drives the hourly payrate down. More money in their pockets at bonus time.

Just stick to your guns and the recruiter not be able to push your salary down. Microsoft does pay less but not that much. Do not let a recruiter convince you you need to settle for a low range. I have seen candidates get the highest payrate and win first hand. But, the cost is that the recruiter will remember you and not always fondly. It is important to note you are in their database and your payrate as well so, you cannot claim you made 30/per hr when they know you made 20.

Those of us who have been in the industry typically agree this company likes to make a profit and relationships are not something they are interested in.
