PeopleReady Reviews

I went to PeopleReady temp agency in Bullhead City in Dec 2024 and haven't got a job yet. My phone is always blowing up with notification's that there's a job, but there's never a job to notify me about, I called and talked to PeopleReady about notifications that show no jobs and they say there just isn't any jobs available right now, 3 months later still nothing so I wanted to delete my personal onboarding info and they won't let me do it.

I have work through PeopleReady for some 20 years. I have never had a complaint from one employer at all. Recently I worked through the Cocoa Florida office and was asked by the owner of the company I worked for to come back on the following Saturday on Friday on my break from work. I called people ready Cocoa and ask them if there was a job on Saturday. I was told that they had me listed as limited availability and they gave the job to someone else. I replied I have never told you what days I am available and I said I was at work and couldn't speak any longer and discontinued to call.

This company is pathetic. They don’t give a crap about you. When you call the office to call out and leave a message they never answer it or call you back. This makes you a no call no show. If the corporate office hires better recruiters and office workers knows what they do but they don’t. They are very rude and inconsiderate to others. And talks down to their employees. Especially in Kentucky and Indiana. They are lazy and worthless everywhere. If they would do their jobs right and answer their office machine they would know people call out.

It was a traumatizing experience working with this company. I went out on two Jobs that was very bad which was expected. Then to make matters much much worse. The St. Louis downtown location staff is very very nasty. I was told multiple lies consistently. On why I was taken off a ticket. This location and its staff are not understanding. It's quite the opposite. These are some of the most Evil people in St. Louis downtown location. With No compassion for their employees. You must never in life, working with this company, have an emergency where you have to call off. You will be severely punished severely, by them and whatever else is going on in life.

I use to love People Ready. I started back with them after not working for about 3 years. This time has been the worst experience that I have ever had, regarding the N Columbus branch. This is a racist bunch that has shown their true color. I was working a car auction when all this took place. This lady with gold hair someone that people ready shouldn't have had working for this company. She acted like she was innocent when in fact she didn't send me my money.

Here is a short story from a 78-year-old disabled vet. I’ve just had my first rodeo ride ever with any labor pool, this one called PeopleReady in St. Augustine, FL. “$28/per hour”, Camille told me, “with no hidden fees or other charges. What would you like for a start time and for how long?” Tomorrow please, a general laborer from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. I agreed to pay for 7 hours at $28/hr expecting a charge of $196.00 to my debit card, in exchange for an emailed insurance face sheet showing me as an “add insured” to PeopleReady’s general liability policy. I own my home outright, but like thousands of other seniors can no longer afford Florida’s vanishing and outrageously priced Homeowners Insurance.

People Ready at Branch 1746 in Woodlyn, PA - Maria ** was very Professional, Articulate, Versatile, Hard worker/Teamplayer at People Ready - who would be there for her Clients & Employees. They should give Maria recognition & raise for all she does - she makes sure that you get work and always have a positive demeanor about her. MARIA ** IS A GREAT BRANCH MANAGER!!

This is the worst company ever. You can book a shift but they will remove you from it and replace you with their friends. So don’t waste your time and livelihood. If you call them after they play games with you no one has clue what’s going on.

I am Kelly **, the ‘Purchasing Project Coordinator’ for Moorefield Construction Inc. based in So Cal. We quite frequently (sometimes daily) require the service of contracted construction labor to help when the load gets heavy. Being a General Contractor is a tough business; it’s Rough & Tough, and very Fast Paced. Regularly we are seeking last-minute help…but that does not detour our friends at PeopleReady throughout the Nation; no matter where we may be, the services are always TOP NOTCH! “100% RELIABLE!” But the Best Part of PeopleReady, is our A+, SUPERSTAR PERFORMER…

I worked a few jobs for these people, I had to call EVERYONE AND EVERYDAY to get paid! Lazy, incompetent, no communication skills at all! Tonya, at the Murfreesboro office leaves early and won't answer the phone after 4:30 pm when the hours on the app and door say closes at 6pm! It took me 2 weeks for a.paycard in the mail, then not the right amt of hours, UNBELIEVABLE! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE, NOT WORTH IT!!!!

Not what it use to be. It's changed a lot! Harder to get work and harder to get paid but the managers are good to work with. I been with this company 24 years now and haven't gotten any recommendations or. Special prizes for the 24 years not getting injured, not calling in sick.

I've been with this temporary agency since 2019. My branch was in Mesquite, TX and the office was very effective in paying a worker that same day but now they're over the phone and pay has now been hard.

Used people ready a few months ago to throw old fixtures out of a JCPenney store. While throwing out they missed dumpster and hit my pick up causing $2,500 in damages. Had to take them to court a judgement was issued by court they did not show up for court date even when a summons was served. Had no luck collecting judgement. Taking them to court again. Do not use this co.

We need to come together and fight to get rid of the company from employing people. This staffing agency needs to be shut down due to all the illegal, violation they constanly commit. This company does not follow the agreement to which you are hired for a job. They don't pay you when you are supposed to get paid. They allow the customers to treat employees like crap and under pay. It's always the same problem when working a job. No one in this company solves any issues that the employees have. They will find a way to either under pay you for your work or not pay you for your show up pay. This staffing agency is no longer the leading provider in jobs employment.

I worked through this agency for 5 months and was never late to assignments and was even praised by the companies I work for through this agency for my performance. Yet I was late to an assignment one time with a legitimate excuse and had made the agency aware that I was going to be late 30 minutes before my shift was to start which was when I had realized that I was going to be late due to the traffic I was stuck in caused by a big wreck on the interstate that I was traveling only to show up at my assignment and be turned away without show up pay or anything. Then I was placed on suspension for 10 days which turned out being over two weeks only to be told that I had 30 people in line before me waiting to be taken off of suspension.

I first want to applaud the only person at PeopleReady that genuinely showed concern. Her name is Natalie and although she doesn’t work full time for the Chicago office, she followed through more than anyone from Chicago office did. My experience start in April of last year although I didn’t accept and complete my first job until June. Things were good for a month until unexpectedly I was cancelled from a job because they didn’t verify I was coming from an old number that should have been updated and 2nd job cancelled due to them implying for my I9 I didn’t submit hard copy social and that I only submitted a paper saying it was ordered. The problem with this is I submitted a hard copy social.

As soon as I apply for a job that is on the jobs available list 2 miles from my house it's gone. Only to find other jobs available that are 30 miles from my house. When I call the only explanation I get is they have people that have been there awhile. Then why is it on the jobs available list?

Basically, for the past 10 years to date here's how their scam works. Their website is called people ready, but you can't contact them, you can only contact their third party called Jobstack, which is plastered all over their website. Upon signing up for an account, you then are transferred to yet another website called AbleTeams, which then requires you to sign up for THAT, and THEN after the data collection scam and selling to other third parties our personal data, the website is broken. It was broken 10 years ago, it's broken now, by design. What I mean by that is, you create your profile and upload resume and it's as "easy" as clicking "apply" to whatever job listing there is, except it doesn't work.

I worked last week on Wednesday 8-24-22 for PeopleReady. Was emailed job details a day before however email stated to complete time cards and send them to this specific email for payroll and that we would get paid weekly. Not the case! I did a one day assignment! Yes, one day assignment and supervisor at the jobsite told me he’d take care of it which he didn't. Told people ready that Friday 8-26-23, and was told they’re reaching out to him to confirm my hours and I should be paid Monday.

This company uses another company to do their background checks. Having a background check is pretty standard for most employment. That being said using a company that does more than just a background check is highly unethical and unprofessional and flat out disgusting. Company that does background checks doesn't just want your birthday your full name and your social security number. It asks you a lot of personal detail questions that are unneeded simply so they can compile as much information on you to sell to other people and companies online. DO NOT SHARE EXTRA PERSONAL INFORMATION INFORMATION WITH THIS COMPANY OR THE COMPANY THAT DOES THE BACKGROUND CHECK.

PeopleReady claims to have posted "millions of jobs", but the app has has ZERO shifts available within 20 miles of my town for the last 6 weeks running. Show up at the local office, and they have nothing, either.

I've been a worker since April 20th however, I didn't work my first job until mid June. I've went to jobs that they failed to cancel. They've cancelled jobs because they failed to update my phone number and it's the job convenient to me not their far away gigs they've offered .. They tell me to call instead to confirm and when I did for the jobs scheduled for tomorrow Thursday and Friday, they call me and say their client only wanted the previous six workers they have. Wooow. I had four jobs cancelled this week. Last week I had one job that was four hours pay and two hours away. This is torture. None of the work or any temp service I've been with is as heartless and out of touch as People Ready. The worst experience and I would never trust their with my time energy skills workmanship. There is no follow through with workers when it involves their action. I refuse to call them to mess with my time and money again. Thank you but no thank you.

I’ve been with the company as a temp worker for many years. I’ve been cursed at, yelled at, bullied etc. I’ve stayed as a temp worker to get extra cash. JobStack constantly doesn’t let me log in, or won’t let me see jobs. For over a week now, almost 2 weeks, the app has been down. Calling the office is no help because “we'll let you know if there’s work“ but they haven’t been. I’ve heard rumors that the company hasn’t been paying or had an issue with the app developers/software, and that the app won’t be back up any time soon because of that. They claim they have no idea why the app is down but they know they do. This is costing us temp workers money. Very upset and sad.

Wouldn't it be nice to not worry about $? You people need to understand this is a terrible service. Your local offices normally have terrible employees. PeopleReady is a ** company altogether. The app never works. Does all kinds of problems. For the Love of god, I encourage all of you please get a normal regular job. Trust me on this.

I have worked for some time with Peopleready and truly enjoy working throughout the local community in various capacities. I have unfortunately been treated abominably by the staff of its office who have made little effort to disguise their unpleasantry and in fact have behaved in ways that have only added to my need to call their office thereby seemingly exasperating their unpleasantries. By all appearances the culture that is normal for this office is contempt where it might be meted out which as it happens is towards those in need of assistance. I have called and texted their location as of today to request that I be removed from their worker database as have I contacted their HR for the same. The Peopleready Anchorage location is I’m sorry to say a flagrant example of a nasty culture run amuck. There can be no excuse under any circumstances.

The staff at the 2501 3rd. Ave. So location is unfit to work there! They NEVER inform YOU that a JOB has been CANCELLED or delayed and allow you to use your precious ⛽ to get there! They NEED a whole new crew of professional workers!!!

Madison Wi. People ready branch is horrible. They do not have good people skills, office staff gives false information to associates, they will refuse to answer the phone for associates. They advertise for daily pay exceptions of weekends and holidays, however that is not the case. I've encountered numerous other associates that the treatment they receive from and Individual at that location is horrendous. Speaking with branch manager doesn't get you very far either. They are not understanding of people with sick children. At this branch specifically there is NO TEAM. It's office against associates. Without the associates there isn't an office. Remember that.

I would not recommend anyone to work with PeopleReady. The level of professionalism is little to none. I have never felt so low when speaking with the staff here. In particular, two ladies by the name of Gwen and Ty. Ty refused to provide her name. Staying, "It's just Ty!" Their tone when speaking with you at anytime is demeaning and I believe Gwen is the actual office manager and Ty is personnel. They come off with no care in the world for any of the laborers. Without the laborers, PeopleReady will not thrive. I understand that the staff deals with many facets of personalities, but you should maintain a level of professionalism knowing that most people who comes to PeopleReady is in need greatly. Show some sort of empathy.

I worked 2 days and only got paid for 1 day almost a week later so they’re already lying about getting paid within 24-48 hours. Almost 2 weeks later I’ve still not been paid for the second day I worked. I called the local office and was rudely told “we paid you already.” However my bank account which I pay very close attention to only shows 1 deposit from them. When I called again I was told “it’s not our problem that we didn’t pay you, it’s you’re bank.” But wait the first day I worked my bank accepted their direct deposit, but not the second day?? Makes zero sense. PeopleReady treats people like they're idiots and outright refuse to help them. That’s how they make money, by stealing it from employees. If you don’t believe me look it up and you’ll find several lawsuits against TrueBlue/People Ready all over the country for not paying or paying late. They are scammers that take advantage of people.

On their website it says to have someone verify your I9 documents to begin to look for work. After weeks of it not working and no response to my emails I call in and are told I have to come in with my documents. I ask what is rhe purpose of having a friend do it. The lady says she doesn't know what im talking about she didn't make the website. COMPLETE waste of time.
