I initially talked to Express about a job that I wanted. I signed myself up on their website and specified the job that I had wanted to try for, and 2 days later they called me back telling me visit their office with a resume and two references. I arrived there, believing that they were able to set me up with the job I was looking for, but instead they had pushed me to get on another job with lesser pay and the distance was way more than I was willing to travel. I was somewhat confused at first, but I refused the job in the end which made them irritated. I then asked them about the job I had applied for online, and I was told that they were not available. Later I kept receiving calls from them, offering me jobs with poor pay and location. At this point I had finally given up and accepted an assignment that paid me less and was twice the distance compared to my previous employer. I'm not happy with my current job and plan to find another as soon as the 3 month commitment is up. Two days ago, I checked the job listing again and the job I was seeking was reposted, meaning it was still available. Basically they had lied to me. So if you're looking for high quality jobs, you're not going to find it at Express. They will just try to put you into jobs other people don't want.
Pros: You will receive plenty of calls regarding possible assignments
Cons: The assignments they offer you will most likely not meet your expectations
