The Midtown Group
Are Liars

Do not work for this company! If you are a potential client please stay away. I am a seasoned staffing professional and worked for The Midtown Group at their DC office for close to a year as a permanent staff member. They hire most of their internal staff on a contingent basis so they can get away without having to pay benefits or decent commissions. This company has lost so many good people it is ridiculous! I watched about 7 people leave in the short time I was there. The Midtown Group had only about 23 employees so losing even a couple staff members is a huge blow. The Midtown Group finds anyway to cut corners so they can reduce their overhead. They monitor exempt employee's time and take away vacation hours/hard earned bonuses if someone shows up late a couple times, despite being a solid producer. They also operated in Chicago without a business license.in addition, they lie about being a small business so that they can get contracting preferences on local government business. They also pay some of their recruiters well below the going rate for the position and geographic region.

The Midtown Group also makes false statements in the Washingtonian's Great Places to Work 2007 article. They made reference that they give away free DC parking to all of their employees. This is complete lie and 100% untrue statement.in fact, not even the internal staff is given free parking. You have to setup a monthly contract with the parking management company at 900 7th street garage. As far as temp employees are concerned The Midtown Group would not typically pay for their parking because this would cut into The Midtown Group's profit margins. This is a highly unethical statement because temporary employees might decide to sign up with Midtown Group based upon the Washingtonian's article. For a company that profits off of attracting talent they should be completely truthful about what they offer. The only reason that the Midtown Group made this false statement, as well as a host of other lies was so they could make Washingtonian's Great Places to Work 2007 list. I think if the Washingtonian knew they lied about this, they would probably be removed from the Great Places to Work 2007 list.
