When I first started work here they would pay me every day using direct deposit onto a cash card. But with a catch - every damn job is literally back breaking and just downright menial work most of the time. Also the pay was horrible. Also the so called jobs will send you 50 plus miles from where you're located to make under minimum wage like 11. You'll spend like 20 on gas that day and have like 40 bucks after working almost 10 hours. But you treat them same people like crap every day. Anyone who has worked for them understand what I mean. This company will break you literally. I rather work minimum wage at fast food restaurant than ever work this company again. None benefits just another number. You guys literally make money off the employees by taking it off the top of their pay. They only screw you over then punish you for their mistakes. My girlfriend worked 40 hours but was only paid for 16. That's something she has a right to be angry and inquire about but yet we were both fired when she emailed them about her missing hours. She was accused of having a negative attitude. How do you expect someone to act when you steal their hard earned money and punish them for something you did just because they were smart enough to notice and ask you why. This company is clearly nothing but a huge scam and the people working in the office are the laziest, rudest and dumbest people you will ever meet. I worked every job even if it was horrible. I broke a rib working and never said anything to the branch about it and went back to work the next day in pain. I always get a good rating and requests to come back. The last job I took started at 10 dollars and by the next day without notice I was paid 10 an hour for the first day and the next day it dropped to 8. Well now I'm ready to go back only to find out my rating was dropped to 2 which kicks me off job stack. I really think somebody at the office dropped my rating on purpose. Every time I show up I don't get a job now. Someone really needs to check out why people are being purged from working at PeopleReady for no apparent reason at all. I later received a call asking me to drop that assignment and go with their assignment instead. At first I agreed but then I changed my mind and decided to go back to my original assignment. The branch in Jersey City decided to retaliate and have since blocked my app. Turns out that the branch I worked for has yet to pay me. That was people ready near me March and they never paid me. This company needs to be revamped. I'm sure all their branches are not bad but a majority may be. They pay you whenever they feel like it. They need to be investigated. Original Review: I was a regular at PeopleReady. I sent on a lot of jobs. Sometimes I got my jobs from JobStack. Please contact your local branch to discuss possible assignments. The lady told me it was mine, and all I had to do was show up for work. Apparently only about 10% of people fail this test, and I'm one of the lucky 10%. I'm 51 years old, people ready near me held a DoD issued Secret clearance most of my adult life, and I failed some stupid software test!. I was actually drinking a cup of coffee and was so shocked I wanted to finish my coffee before I left. Hyde and start desecrating the place. Wow, if that isn't just something!!. For more information about reviews on ConsumerAffairs. But it got to the point where I was actually not being paid for jobs or being paid less for a job that I was initially informed. At the end of the day this is still a business and they were highly unprofessional. Would not recommend this for anybody. Most are allowed to run wild and do whatever they want to different people. Diversify the Branches and we'll see the true magnitude of what's really been going on. Trust me, it's worse than you think. Branches now use abuse the Text alert system to act on their prejudices. I thought the ratings system helped to eliminate individuals who had poor performance. So why the need to call the branches before accepting a Job. PeopleReady says there is no need for concern with Retaliation when you politely and professionally address these issues. Tier 1 Status with great reviews from employers yet My JobStack was temporarily suspended and I've been removed from most Text Alerts. Only receiving those that are low paying and horrible environments. So so exhausted with PeopleReady as a whole along with the individuals they put in charge of a lot of the branches. True Leadership starts from the top. So if you put a person in charge with no genuine sense of integrity or sincere conviction as to who they represent PeopleReady this is the end result. A perpetuation of the same behavior or even worse because it is accepted and tolerated. Purge the branches and revive the business model and culture that was intended from the beginning. I used to love and admire PeopleReady as a brand but over the years they have morphed into something I don't even recognize. I know you can if you're willing to face the fact that there is indeed a problem. Please help save what's left of the values PeopleReady had. Coming from a sincere place. I sent him back to his office. I have a National account with PeopleReady, I pay my bill to them on time. A phone call would have been nice. And some personnel called me being outright rude and disrespectful and wasn't concerned at all. How can I help you. How can I be of assistance. They have taken me off of 2 job assignments that should have lasted 3 weeks. The so called app is garbage. The few times I've worked I had to give others a ride and of course they are always claiming to be broke so they can ride free. Then they have the people ready near me to ask you to take them to the store the first break you get. Are people still this ignorant. I was broke before that spoiled brat was born. They are racists bad, don't waste your gas or time. They got more games to play on you than Disney World. Labor Finders in Greensboro is not like that. Neither are the other 2 pay daily places. If you are dumb enough to go there thinking you are different or desperate and have no choice remember they don't care. They will take advantage of you if you have a car, I drove 30 miles each way and they do not pay mileage as advertised. I would never go back. I took work completing four days total. We took it to help out another branch and everyone was notified of the change in rate. I had to call and go to the office multiple times because when I signed up I was told I would be paid daily not that I have a problem being paid weekly but when you are told one thing and have to wait over a week for your money it comes off unprofessional. I also overheard a staff member Omar state to a client while I was in the office filling out my application and then was told by the same staff member that there was a one hundred dollar referral bonus. Clients like me are the reason staff agency have a job in the first place. I have over twenty years in customer service background and the way I was treated is not the way I would treat even the most irate customer. I would not recommend this branch to anyone unless you want to be lied to cheated and unpaid in an unprofessional manner. Original review: July 9, 2018 One of the PeopleReady branches sent out a text looking for several employees to do a store reset overnights at several Central and Eastern Massachusetts locations of a well known chain store. I'm assuming this practice is legal. Please hire your temporary employees through other, more reputable agencies. Original review: July 4, 2018 So this seems like a common theme after reading these reviews. I have auto bills and our account has been over-drafted because of PeopeReady. How can such a well known huge company be so disorganized. Here it is going on w weeks and nobody can tell us where the money is or even answer the phone. Filed a complaint with corporate and department of labor. Next might look into filing a lawsuit. It has caused us a major financial burden and stress. Original review: May 30, 2018 Glendale Arizona - Absolutely horrible with taking care of their employees and their pay!!. This is the 3rd time in the last week that the branch has delayed my pay on time. Corporate has to step in and do their part. If someone people ready near me overwhelmed and accepting work orders too large to accommodate their employees' pay on time. I now have to go pawn some of my personal items to make ends meet. Original review: May 23, 2018 I had applied for a position at PeopleReady for a staffing agent and was contacted by Corina asking me to come in at 1 pm the next day. I arrived at 12:50 on Wed. I was asked to have a set and was told Corrina would be with me in just a minute. At 1:10 pm Corina comes out of her office and takes a man who had been there when I came in and told me she would be with me in a minute. At 1:40 pm Corina still had not come out of her office and I could hear loud laughing coming out of her office. She nor anyone else let me know they was sorry for the wait. I got up went to one of the girls told her my appointment was supposed to be at 1 pm and it was now 1:40 and I was leaving. She said ok and turned her back on me. I suggest if you're looking for a job you go to another agency if you want to work as this agency does not care about giving good service. Original review: May 3, 2018 So I have been using PeopleReady for 3 winter seasons now, back when it was Labor Ready. And back when they actually had tickets to give out. And for 6 spring and summer seasons I'm head farmer and landscaper. Average workweek for me during the summer months are 90 hour weeks plus the houses I caretake for. So what I'm getting at is I'm a damn hard worker and normally work circles around anyone near me. It took me till this winter for anyone of the 4 in that office to know me by name, and it's because unless you cause trouble they don't care to know you. I swear if they would stop letting these drunks and methheads keep working, they would stop losing tickets. And then they'll blow your phone up when someone else is screwing up, unless it pertains to me, I don't appreciate being spoken down to whether it's face to face or text. Well for one it got pushed out almost 2 wks before we finally got on site, then we get there and are told it's more like a 9 wk to a year ticket depending on how many bridges get ordered, while there they got another one to make a total of 3 bridges for the summer. Had they started when they were supposed to and was for the duration they said it was to be it would have been fine. But my thinking is after my first day I should give this to another person because People ready near me can't dedicate the time with my 2 other full time summer jobs. Well today is my 98-yr-old grandmother's funeral, and I wasn't going to be able to make it in, I thought I could work till noon to get home and dresses but would have had to hitchhike home, so go to tell them in the office at 725 am to find it all locked up. Told them through text that I couldn't get in but their service won't let me send any more than a few words or it denies the destination, so in return they tell me they have to replace me. Well I asked for an email so I could always explain what's going on but nope, got no response back. And I'll get retaliation from this. It's how it works down there, unless you're dating one of the office people or a favorite of theirs. I go and I do my job as well as the work of 4 other people, if I have to hear one more time I'm not getting paid to be my best or fast I'd go people ready near me. I'm now looking into going through Bonnie Staffing or Maine Staffing because it is the most unprofessional place I've worked for. Plus they can't keep customers, now it's picking up but they've lost some big money tickets and about to lose a few more because they don't care. You're just a number filling a slot. The few that are trying to make a living are stuck with the stigma that we're all lazy drug addicted thieves until we can prove them wrong. So if you're smart you'll look elsewhere if you're trying to survive. Original review: April 7, 2018 I applied for this company for a job as a sign holder. What skills and experience do I need to hold a sign. The Work Habits test states that you should be honest, and it makes no sense because I completed the test honestly. I do not people ready near me, or drink or do drugs, and this all seems like because I have a college degree that I cannot get work. This company needs to be shut down for falsely denying a jobs to people that need it. Then Monday arrive and I don't get paid. Don't expect me to continue working for you and you can't pay my salary in a speedy manner. They had the nerve to call asked me to come back to work. Pay me my 57 hours of work and then I May consider going back to work. Original review: March 10, 2018 PeopleReady in Jersey City do not care for their clients one bit. Because of their laziness I do not get paid until late Friday evening. When I try and address this issue with them they are rude and do not care. It's very upsetting to me how these people generally don't care. And I really do not want anything to do with them anymore. I'm going to try and go through another agency. In closing they are the most unprofessional agency I have ever worked for. Never once a complaint about me. Worked last ticket for 3 months. Have worked ticket for last two years in a row even was lead for PeopleReady last time I was there. The current lead was sexually harassing female employees and the females felt uncomfortable and told me so. I said something to lead. So feeling convicted for something I did not do I didn't return for a month and a half. Now upon returning today they inform me I have been put on the inactive list. I feel my rights have been violated. Apparently it's okay to send people out on jobs that don't exist I was sent on an assignment people ready near me another state. When I got there the assistant manager of the place I was assigned to threw a fit because she wanted another employee that had been sent the previous day. She called the branch that sent me out there to work and started whining about how she wanted the other person. This after I drove 20 minutes to another state to work 'cause these people had a fit. I was not happy and told the assistant manager that this was a joke. I tried to call the office and have gotten no answer or call back. This is one of the most unorganized temp services I have ever seen. What I am saying is, that once I select a job by indicating I want the job personnel from a branch may tell that job is for not available. Anyway, all the local branches operate with their own set of rules. A couple of times I accepted a job on the app. And the company didn't need any employees, drove almost an hour away and 5 months later find out they were supposed to pay me for going. There's no communication, the office managers don't know what they are doing. They claim all offices are the same but they work differently. They have horrible attitudes and definitely need to get it together. Don't they realize that we are the ones that earn the office staff their paychecks. Job descriptions rarely match up to what you are doing. I'm sure I'm on it. I was signed up for text alerts when I got paid, not getting it, and no response why. Sent out when customers didn't need me. Late because no hard hat. Job description doesn't match actual job duties. Check grossly wrong on multiple occasions. They don't care what kind of jobs they send you on. They don't pay on time. You have to work like a slave for a li'l of nothing and they want You to drive almost out of town for the same pay. They rarely reimburse gas and they don't care about people going to work with bad hygiene. They want you to pay to carpool when they send you out. Half the time they don't have a place for you to park on the jobs they pick and choose workers and the workers they pick are sorry so it makes you have to work harder. I didn't even know they still have 7. It's just way too much with this place. I guess that's why they have to keep a lot of crackheads around because nobody's sane going to go for all of this. They really should be reported and closed down. Original review: May 19, 2017 My husband has been working through Labor Ready for 2 years now. Let people ready near me tell you this has by far been the toughest 2 years in our lives. We arrive daily around 5:30 am to try to get work and time after time Marian the lady that handles the morning crew refuses to send out my husband. He will be 1-5 on the list and we watch her call in her favorite people for jobs and leave everyone else to sit. This morning we sat for 3 hours and saw countless Hispanics come in hours after we had been there and walk out with tickets. She was going to put my husband on a ticket because she had someone that didn't show up or call on a job the day before. Instead of being fair to the people that had already been sitting hours she proceeds to call this man and give him time to get up there for work even though he no called no showed the day before. I'm tired of the discrimination that is clearly happening here. If you're not one of this lasted favorite people of Hispanic there are no jobs for you here. I will be calling corporate although I people ready near me anything will be done. This place will not help you get ahead in life. It Will even put you in the poor house just trying to work.
