I'm still waiting to be paid, I worked the full week and the next again week I was paid anything so I asked them why I hadn't been paid then they said it would be in my account by 5 oclock on the Friday when I have bills to pay for and they are still to reply to me it's now Monday not heard anything back at all just out of order!

The manager was so rude! Told him couldn't do a test for the next day and got annoyed. He asked what my plans were and I told him. But still wasn't happy. He was raising his voice at me saying I will have to give your job away and I replied well it's not ideal as I am keen but I understand. He then didn't like that response and started raising his voice even more.
I have been a manager myself and I assure you he couldn't spell manager. I have never been spoken to like that before. Very unprofessional in every aspect. Glad I turned down the job!

Option A have provided us with staff for nearly 2 years helping us with the seasonal peaks and troughs of the growing season and the busy winter despatch period. Since we started using Option A we have been able to call on a pool of hardworking and reliable temps with a personal and professional service from Option A's consultants. Communication is easy and effective; we are very pleased with the service provided and hope to continue this partnership for many more productive seasons.
Option A have been able to send us the same people for the duration of our busy periods, meaning we've kept a stable and productive team. This has made the exercise even more cost effective, increasing both outputs and quality of work.
