    I have not yet to go to this building I'm debating on going there because the 800 number the…read moreautomated system can never understand what's going on there always having technical difficulties they can't understand they only give you three options and those three options are not what I'm looking for and soon as you press the button to speak to a representative they've already reached the maximum amount of calls it's horrible because even after you turn in a claim form it takes up to 14 days some weeks there on time other weeks they're not on time and your questions never get answered because you can't get anybody on the phone so reading everyone's response I'm in limbo about going to the office the unemployment department and the government suck big time and I don't understand what the issue is when the purpose for this is for you because you worked and at this time you are in a situation where you need your money and they hold on to it like it's theirs I hate that my foot is injured and if I could give zero Stars I would to the whole unemployment system I've been trying over a week to get someone on the phone starting directly at 8:00 in the morning the new updated system is not an improvement it's worse than it was in the first place if I can help it I would never use this system again and I hate that I have to pay into disability because it's a struggle to get my own money when I need it my bills are late my rent's late because I can't get in touch with anybody and I get no answer so I'm just like a Sitting Duck this system is awful it's definitely not helpful it gives you more stress while you're already in a situation that stressful enough

They are short staffed so it's not their fault, but it's still frustrating lol but overall the appointment went smooth and Ms. Space was a delight! I'm so happy she was the one assisting us today, her attitude and humor made it the best experience. Much love and shout out to Ms. Space!

As I was explaining the situation, the male clerk continued to talk over me. I asked him repeatedly to please let me finish and listen to what I have to say first! (That was a red flag there!) Because he was so eager to go to lunch, he gave me "my" paperwork and tried to shoo me out the door. I had to stop and summarize the course of action before I left. As I am on the bus home and about to reach my drop off point, I looked through my envelop of documents I brought essential to the meeting, only to discover that he did not give me my documents but someone else's tax return!!! Some poor soul who saw this clerk before me now has his tax return with confidential info in my hands!! I had to get on another bus and head back to the IRS office. Yes, I made a scene when they told me he was at lunch and I have to wait. Total incompetence!!!

    My call got through! I had called several times this past…read moreweek plus left about three phone messages. After 60 calls this day, Miss P answered! I couldn't believe it? I thought don't watch this and accidentally press the wrong button and hang up on her. So I set the phone down and pulled my hands away to make sure not to hang it up. And I was just so in all that I was talking to her. It was around the 45th call that something shifted in my mind and spirit. Instead of thinking, she'll never answer, I thought. "You will answer the phone ... my phone call will be answered." And I became matter-of-fact about it and just continued dialing, it would go to voicemail and so then I would hang up and call again, and sometimes it would go to a busy signal because too many calls were going in at the same time, so I would hang up and call again. She was so nice and helpful! I thought, dear woman probably is given so many peoples cases! After 33 minutes, we finished and confirmed my application! Yay! It's unfortunate they don't have more caseworkers. The solution : speed dial your caseworkers number, get in a comfortable position while you're working on some project of watching the latest episode of My Lunch Break on. YT and just be determined that you will get through.

The first time that I called today, one of your screener picked up and hung up. As of this moment, I have been on hold for over 1.5 hours trying to make a report. Pick up your calls! SMH.

    REVIEWER # 1 I have…read moreto admit that the building itself deserves over 5 stars! OMG! Have you been here before? Like literally the outside and inside? My first time was when I had a meeting with an organization that is inside and I was stunned to see how beautiful it is! This building is over 10 years old and still looks like a brand new spanking building! This is such a beautiful architecture building in downtown Oakland! Very accessible to BART getting on and off at the 12 Street Station. This building is well secured by Security so please be prepared to put all your belongings through a scanner. If you seem to beep for any reason (unfortunately I wear tons of jewelry and I always beep when I go through the metal detectors) so you will be scanned with a handheld detector and asked to turn around and left your arms up. Yes, they are Very secured. There are bathrooms on the first floor on your right hand side once you enter. On the 2nd floor there is a small Cafeteria and they also serve Peet's Coffee that is the café. There are signs to help direct you to where you are going but once you walk in , it does seem like a maze. There are escalators and elevators to help you get from one floor to another. In this building you would find: Department of Rehabilitation (DOR), Department of Real Estate and many other state related organizations and depts. There is garage parking across the street that is open for anyone. It's definitely not the cheapest so I would definitely encourage you to take public transportation. REVIEW 142/196
