By far the WORST place I have EVER worked and I was no temp I was full time
99% of the temps are felons and sex offenders. They would take pictures of me and once busted out my windshield with a boulder. They were rude and would make threats. They make minimum wage for over 97% of the jobs. Most of the time us women are in the office alone and vulnerable. There is one opener and one closer so I was forced to come to work very ill on several occasions as the manager is never there leaving no room to call in. I made over $ 100, 000 in personal contributions by gaining accounts and never once received a penny in commission. The A/C was broken in the middle of the summer for over a month and I was told if I didn't like working in the 90° office I could resign. My vacation was canceled by the manager twice after purchasing plane tickets. My hours were cut regularly. I was on call like a doctor getting paid like a slave. I worked outside in the heat rain and cold on different assignments but they describe it as a customer service/clerical job. The office closed at 7 but at least once a week I would get off at 9 or 10pm working outside jobs. I never received one or promotion. I could not call in after being in a car accident until about four hours after my shift started and was written up for doing so even after showing the police report. I would not recommend this job to my worst enemy.

Test
I took the test and passed. Its easy. Do not steal, fight or do drugs. If your son failed, he failed the most rudimentary psych evaluation that exists. For my beef, the don't pay $10 an hour as advertised. Its minimum and not guaranteed. That is why its for the desperate, criminals and addicts. I would like to also address the policies of this web site. Your policy is that "We recommend a minimum of 100 words". Recommend means it is an option, not a mandate. Please post that you require 100 to post. Not that you recommend doing so.

Labor ready santa fe nm
I am a firefighter and have been for 14 years I go to Labor Ready when I am not out on the fires. Through the years I have seen many things take place with the SF labor ready. One of the managers would take care of a handicap girl while on the job and her two jobs. The handicap girl had anger issues but Betty was paid to take care of her and would not pay attention to detail at work. Now there is a branch manager named sue and I have seen her buy stolden goods and I can prove it. I brought it to her attention because the guys she was ordering the stolden goods from where going to get in trouble. Sher fired me and said I was with my child on the job and had someone else working for me if you want more detail I can prove it. She is predjustice and does not hide it. darlatrujillo@***.com

Labor Ready - Sent a Felon 2
We met with a manager who talked about the screening they do. This is very important in our industry. They sent us a felon with 8 yrs of prison and white supremacist tatoos which the ploice found after an altercation. These people don't care who they send you! Worse yet, when I called and told them I needed to speak with a branch manager and that we had to get police involvement noone returned the call. They are the absolute WORST. We are left holding the bag and trying to fix the collateral damage. One of the worst decisions we've made was to call them.

Picking and choosing
I had been showing up at labour ready for quite sometime. Now there's a new lady running the place. So one morning I showed up 40 min early nearly beating everyone to the door but 5 people ahead that where camping out. So sitting there in the freezing snow till the place opened. Now she is picking and choosing people. She showed me the book and sure enough it's the best mAtch. Now I think she is discriminating against me because I'm no ***. So I mentioned it to here like doesn't in go by order? She immediately snaps back and says as if I was yelling at here. Settle, you want to be last. All I did was say. Now still sitting here and she has picked random people just getting in and asking who would like to shovel snow. So I'm not quick on the draw so people jump ahead. This place is total ***. I recommend at all costs stay away. There's a lot better instant labour jobs.

Labor Ready Won't Pay!
I worked for Labor Ready in Pontiac, Mi. for two days, and was NOT PAID! They said the company i was sent to, did not fill-out the paper-work properly, so they will not pay me! It is not my job to do their paper-work...my work-sheet was filled out & signed properly, they sent me to this job-site, I did the work and was asked to come back! It is in their charter "Daily work for daily pay" The Pontiac, Mi. office is run by a bunch of unprofessional wanna bees...to lazy and ignorant to fix this problem...Off to small claims court! Un-Paid Labor, Pain & Suffering?

Give Bruce Lambert His Job Back Please
This is terrible. Bruce Lambert shouldn't have went down like that. He was an upstanding, honest, good guy who worked hard every day too put people to work. I'm not going to reveal my identity. However, I will mention that I'm a female employee who works with the branch in Norristown,PA. I'm petrified over this situation. The man is a great and hard worker and should not be treated in such a manner. Alot of people will quit because of this tragedy. Labor ready just wont be the same any more. I just so mad about this. I think this man should have his job back.

Labor Ready the worst agency!
Labor Ready hires nothing but drug addicts,convicts,criminals & Homeless with no education. These Morans say they are looking for an opportunity,but they don't know how to keep a job or behave with individuals who aren't all of the above. Labor Ready also overcharges all of their clients they have margins they need to keep a descent margin 30. They say so it would cover Workers comp. What most of their clients don't know is 90% of these temps are CRIMINALS! loading a trailer convict! Moving ur personal furniture convict, sweeping construction site convicts. These criminals are close to your children

Unfairly spoken to
I recently went to a labor ready office to find work, I was rudely spoken to by which I believe to be the head man. He told me I needed to go home and use deodorant and wash my hair, I was mordified he said this in front of two other people, he also insulted another individual. He used very vulgar lanuage, His name is Jim Allgood. Site is located at River Ave in Lakewood, NJ He picks his special people and wants to pay when he feels like it,sometimes pays below minimum. Help us. I need the work as well as others who need to make money day by day. Thank you for your time

Labor Ready Sucks
I been working for Labor Ready since May 2011 and worked a total of 75 days some are only half days. When i did get a return ticket they would not send me to work and sent someone else. The fat slob *** at Labor Ready suggested to me i should give her money for getting me a ticket. Just last week i saw this guy Wilber give her five dollars and he been working four months straight. So last week i applied for a Link card and brought in my check stubs for the last four months , hopefully this will light a fire under their *** and be a JOB SERVICE.

When I took test, buttons got stuck, now can't take for 1 year.
I took the assessment test to qualify for labor ready's temporary job send-outs and during the test, the buttons got stuck which should nulify the test but, I was told by Lupe Michel to continue taking the test. Well, needless to say, I did not pass their test. Ms.Michel proceeded to inform me that she would email the proper people to address this issue and to get back to her in a couple of days. So, here it is approximately 2 weeks later, so I called Ms. Michel and was informed that the people she sent the email to informed her that it is what it is. I feel that it was not my fault and I should be allowed to re-test.
