Labor Ready Employer Reviews

I opened the facility and turned the systems on and the alarm off.
Placed people in jobs according to Best Practices. I was in charge of Dispatching the workers to the job with proper equipment and made sure all that applied went through the proper authorization protocols. I was a Tescor Administrator who job it was to help people qualify for employment. – more...  I did some outbound calling and collection work and was responsible for the branch when the Branch Manager was off the premises and took care of the cleaning and security issues. It was my responsibility to relay the worker incident reports to the proper authorities and made sure the workers saw the right people in a timely manner if injuired on the job. Took on line OSHA course and True Blue procedure course. Also, at times, I did the pay out and closed the facility. Learned alot about safety, human nature and about people who may need help in desperate situations. The hardest part of the job was trying to match everyone with a job for day or week and the early morning hours. The most enjoyable was meeting and helping people and getting them employment and leaving work at 1:30 pm every day! – less

I have learned through my experience how to manage all types of people and personalities.

A typical can be anything from moving furniture, to chopping down trees, or unloading trucks in a warehouse. I have learned many things such as adequate ways to lift carpets, lift heavy items, pack and unpack and much more. The hardest part of the job is not knowing if you will come back due to the job being done. The most enjoyable part is being able – more...  to get the job the done in the besy way possible with team players. – less
