Positive Experiences
Petrie has been widely praised for their professionalism and efficiency. Both Campervan Mike and Ian Maunder have had extremely positive experiences working with the agency, citing no issues whatsoever and praising their prompt payment and pleasant working environment.
Unsatisfactory Experiences
Unfortunately, not everyone has had a positive experience with Petrie. Jay Eff, Bluebird, and Mark Vaccari have all had negative encounters with the agency. Jay Eff describes the agency as a "clown show" and warns potential employers of their poor practices, while Bluebird labels them a "joke of a recruitment company" who fail to follow up on applications. Mark Vaccari shares a disturbing experience of verbal bullying and unfair termination from his employer, Perkinelmer, a company that Petrie represents.
