Labor Ready Employer Reviews

Typically,I would get to work, have a coffee, get my tool belt on, and start the day. climbing ladders, digging holes, driving nails into plywood, and having lunch, doing more work, then going home

show up at the main office at 5:00 am.
sometimes get sent out to work, sometimes no work for the day.
ive learned to be very flexable with my hours and work schedual to acomidate hours of work that are given to me.
The hardest part of this job is not having a steady income to support myself.

I have worked at a number of jobs through this agency, most recently as a receiver for a perfume store in Stone Road Mall. In 2012 summer months, I was hired on as an advertiser for the closing of a large department store. Previously to that I managed a warehouse for 3 years. Most of the jobs I do with this company are jobs in which I must work independently – more... of others, although I do work very well with people also. The hardest part of this job was the "on call", where you find out about jobs an hour before they start and still need to run to Labor Ready for the time sheet. The most enjoyable part of the job is where they pay you the next day for your work... – less

You would report into the office at 5am and sign in indicating you were there and available for work. You would sit there until you were sent out on a job or kicked out of the office around 9 am if you weren't sent out on a job that day. If you had a repeat ticket you would arrive at the office and sign at 5am pick up your ticket and depending on when – more... you were suppose to be at the job site leave. After work ended for the day you reported back to the office to get get paid. Most of the jobs were jobs that required alot of hard physical labor that only men could do. Occasionally they would get jobs women could do like cleaning seats at the Royals baseball stadium or picking up trash at the Chiefs stadium, sometimes a hotel would call and need some extra housekeepers, there would be an occasional eviction women could do, or one time I got sent to go help set up a new store and one time did some landscaping at an apartment complex or go pick up trash at the landfill that wasn't where it was suppose to be. I didn't learn anything from this company. The coworkers were a mixture of people. Some were good workers and courteous to their fellow workers and management but alot were lazy backstabbing people. Management changed frequently. The hardest part of the job was not knowing if you were going to be sent out on a job that day. The variety of possible jobs. – less

They will always find you a job to go too. Unfortunately , most of the jobs are temp. The job will give you a variety of work experience in different fields.

Safe work place, easy to get along with others. excellent management team

Really nice temp agency. sent me out to work everyday i showed up and i couldnt be more thankful.

The staff at Labor ready are excellent . the work enviroment was a positive place to work.

You never really knew what you were going to be doing when you went in for the day, unless you found a place that needed consistent help and liked you. I never had a typical day, the majority of my time there being divided between a manufacturing facility and the other working for a plumbing agency. My co-workers were always colorful characters, and – more... quite pleasant to be around. Management was generally friendly, though at times, some were unpleasant. The hardest part of my job was not knowing where I would be sometimes. The most enjoyable part of the job was the physical aspects of the labor I put in. – less

On your feet mostly all day loading and unloading trucks.
I learned to be a great team player.
My co workers were great.
The hardest part of the job is that the assignment didn't last long so you were short on cash.
The most enjoyable part about the job is you got paid every week.

I like the environment and the freedom and independence the check-in clerks received. We didn't have any one hovering over us to make sure we did our work. We knew what needed to be done and did it. We could take our break and lunch when we wanted to. We didn't have to ask a manager.

They provide temps. The work is usually hard and dirty. They pay is terrible. But it works when you need it to usually.

this is the lowest paying labor ready in th us. I would not reacomend working here unless you are just trying to get a fix for the day

staffing agency had no benefits although it's traded on nyse. company would not relocate me to southern Va. co-workers were extremely hard working men and woman. company paid fuel cost and or re-emburstments after 25 miles of travel.

Overall the representatives at Labor Ready are courteous and friendly. This company is an employment agency for general laborers seeking to supplement income, but does not offer steady work.

THIS WAS A GOOD COMPANY FOR ME TO GAIN EXPERIENCE IN THE DIFFRENT TRADE;S OF THE WORK PLACE'S.SIGN IN TIME WAS 5:30 A.M EVERYDAY,THEN AS SOON AS THEY GOT A CALL TO PLACE SOMEONE TO WORK THEY WOULD BE SENT OFF TO HELP THAT PRETICULAR COMPANY FOR THAT DAY OR WEEK,DEPENDING ON THE JOB.THERE WHERE MANY DIFFRENT JOB;S DAILY FROM PAINTING,CONSTRUCTION,FENCE – more... INSALLATIO,INSTALLING ROOF'S AN CLEAN UP'S,WORKING WITH MOVING COMPANIES,AN MANY OTHER SIDE JOB'S TO HELP THE WORK FORCE OF LONG ISLAND. – less

I learned to be Responsible.And most of all,an opportunity to grow and be successful in job sites. OSHA Requirements were strictly Enforced to better serve the Community.

shipping/receiving, packaging, assemble, customer service

Labor Ready consistently finds me work at a fair rate of pay with good companies. The management at Labor Ready is supportive and friendly but I would much rather have permanent employment.
