First impressions do not mean so much when you need rent money. However, I was not impressed at all when I went to the Poplar Level, Louisville KY location. It took almost 30 min. to be acknowledged, while the manager and second in command discussed the neighbor's dog and a birthday party. The place is dirty and the manager screams profanities at the workers. They finally had me take a seat (applications are only taken before 10 am) and waited for the new girl to arrive, then they left for lunch leaving the new girl to deal with me and another applicant, after 11:15 am. Another time, I overheard a conversation in which a customer was angry because the workers were sent with the wrong type of gloves because they were out of them. The manager scream "there's a whole pile of dirty gloves over here that they can use!" As if anyone wants to put their hands in gloves that someone else who may not wash their hands, or may have warts, or may have open sores, or even aids has used. It is my understanding that the gloves are taken home by the manager and "washed" but after seeing that absolutely no one has even used a vacuum in the place since I started, it is unlikely the gloves see a washing machine. Another repulsive act is the way they cuss you if there is a particular job you do not want to go to or you do not want to transport others to and from. It is up to the rider if they want to pay you, how much, and is very doubtful you will see that person after they get paid. This is not fair to the driver who has to pay for gas, insurance, and the car payment itself. Get your own ride! Other agencies have vans or they automatically deduct the fee from the rider's check and put it on the driver's, which is how it should be, and excuse me, but I do not know these people and the majority of them are addicts and/or felons by their own admissions, but they are forced on you as if your safety is not at all important.

The three workers who found a bomb at the MLK march site in Spokane Wa. were fired by Labor Ready for "Mishandling" the situation. Say they were herassed by company for several days afterwards. This bomb was designed and placed to kill by a white racist who has been arrested. Labor Ready, better people had been killed?? These three deserve to be thanked and congratulated and rewarded for their actions rather then punished. They opened the backpack, saw wires and called police. Proper thing to do in my opinion. I would advise everyone to avoid this company as it seems the doller in the pocket is more important then the lives of their fellow Americans.

Labor Ready Gretna, LA. refused me an assignment. after calling me on the phone, and asking me to come to the office to fill out a records check authorization.

Upon my arrival at the office, the staff member offered me gas money to bring two other people to the job site. Was never introduced to the people and told that I would be paid for gas when I returned with the people. No paperwork to prove such a deal and refused to understand that I am liable for those people when in my personal vehicle.

Am I a taxi service?

I have been working at labor ready for years and i don't understand how the jobs pay rates go down you get certified to do job such as flagging and semi skilled work and your pay is still min wages and when you ask manager(sherry powell) about pay she says if you don't like it go somewhere else i think someone should look into this please and i also want to know why if our office is in hillsborough county and you go to another county to work why you are not payed for travel time. office is 5701 e Columbus drive Tampa fl 33603 start work at 700am company drive to orange county and don't want to start pay till you get to orange county.

where and when do you tell some one to do more about company compeition. why would labor ready go in the blank. labor ready is great for the work force . but the way it been over the last six months people should call private government agencies so they can run it. can you look into this.
