Pros
I worked for FlexStaff (temp agency) for a year and I am now a full time permanent employee. FlexStaff is a great way to get your foot in the door for permanent employment.
Cons
As a FlexStaff employee you do not receive health benefits and there's a probationary period of 6 months before you can transfer or apply for a position within the health system.

Pros
Paid training, well stocked office supplies, overall good reputation in the Long Island area.
Cons
discriminatory higher ups. If you work as a temp through their flexstaff agency be prepared to move to the most incompetently ran divisions. Anywhere they place you unless it's regarding an employee on leave is a mess. You'll never be a full time employee without looking a certain way or having the now fired flex staff manager take a 'personal' liking to you. There's hardly any chance of becoming a permanent employee but they'll work you like one, fooling you into thinking your time to shine is there. Get your experience and move ON temps! Notice majority of flexstaff employees are people of color. You're being prejudged by these people before you even tell them your name. Look elsewhere!

Pros
Flexstaff temp employees at Northwell can enjoy office amenities such as free coffee and a free gym, along with ample workspace and flexibility in working hours.
Cons
In my placement there were some very arrogant managers, the corporate culture was old fashioned with many more men than women in executive positions. Also Flexstaff itself made many promises that it did not live up to, working "as much as possible" equaled huge wait times between assignments,and they ignored my emails. Also no benefits and pay is low. I met many Flexstaff employees dissatisfied with their placements.

Pros
Love the work. Definitely a lot of room to grow.

Takes a while to get out of flexstaff and get benefits. Don't be afraid to ask questions and learn what you want to be doing.
