THIS REVIEW IS VERY LONG AND VERY WORTH THE READ! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!! PLEASE READ!!!!…read more Well the review below me sure looks and sounds like an Express Representative. I don't know about everyone else who was/is thinking of attempting to be employed by Express Staffing, but I seriously recommend GO ELSEWHERE. First off. I don't write reviews very often, but when I do, I make it a damn good one. These men and women at Express Staffing ARE NOT helpful let alone knowledgeable of a damn thing. They're seriously a waste of time. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR A JOB. SCREW EXPRESS STAFFING!!!!!!!!!! I have every damn good reason you can think of to be this upset. Story starts like this: I was out of a job for 8 months. When I was asked to come in for a interview BY THE COMPANY (I now work for) at the end of my interview my employer says to me "I'm not gonna lie I wanna hire you!" I replied "Awesome let's do it." He then says to me "You have 2 options get hired through the company or go through Express Staffing. If you go through the company you'll start in about 2 or 3 weeks, if you go through Express you'll start immediately. What would you like to do?" I replied "Well, because I have no experience in this field I'll go through Express for now. While my paperwork through the company is in the process" PROBABLY THEE BIGGEST MISTAKE I'VE EVER MADE! I went to Express thinking this is going to be easy I've gone though a couple Staffing Agencies this year already with no problem. I get to Express and stand at the front desk for a bit (not to long) a woman comes from the back and says "Do you have an appointment?" (I thought to myself why would I need an appointment for a Staffing Agency...) I replied "No. I don't." She replies "Ok. Well walk-in applications are only accepted on this day. *she hands me a card* Thanks for stopping by" (I was a little shocked that she had said this) I quickly replied "I was sent by (Managers Name Here)." She then says "Oh, ok here fill out this application and we'll get back to you tomorrow" A week passes. No contact from Express. I contact with my employer. He says he'll look into it. I contact Express a woman tells me they're waiting on a background check I say ok. I have a criminal background. That is long but haven't been in the system for roughly about 8 years since that time I've worked straight through no breaks. Express contacts me 3 weeks after my application was submitted. Sara Marticorena says to me "Hi, Travis this is Sara with Express we received your background, and I have to say we're NOT going to be able to place you at (Company Here). I recommend you get your background expunged or sealed for future placement. Until then good luck Travis with your search for employment. *hangs up the phone* I literally laughed so hard it was crazy. I relayed the message Sara told me to my brother who works at the same company I do and he laughed right along with me. LOL The way I saw it was the hell with Express I'll do it myself. I went to my employer and told him the story and he laughed as well it was hilarious that A STAFFING AGENCY would NOT employ a man with 2 misdemeanors from 8 years ago but a Billion dollar company would. LOL so my manager contacts Express (mind you I'm sitting right in front of him) and says to Express I want Travis employed with (Company Here). I got a call the same day from Sara. Lol she says "Hi Travis this is Express. (Company Here) would like you to start tomorrow." I replied "No Shit..." She says "Yes. Don't forget your steel toe boots. Do you have any questions for me?" I replied "Absolutely NOT. I think you guys are a horrible Staffing Agency and I don't expect any of my questions to be answered by you. The only thing I want from you guys is a paycheck other than that don't ever contact me again." *hangs up* The thing is I know what's on my background and there's no reason for me to hide it I accept my past and if you seriously get to know me you'd understand that I'm no longer that same person my employer saw that but A LAME STAFFING AGENCY couldn't? Hmmmm I wonder why....maybe cuz they're lazy and uninvolved I don't know but it really makes me think how is this company even real...they only take walk in apps on such and such days and if you don't have an appointment GO AWAY is the vibe that I got. I was sitting in an EMPTY LOBBY filling out the app at Express looking into a window with 4 desks behind it a man and 2 women the man was on his phone texting or email or playing a game I don't know. Both the women looked hard at work faces into their monitors and typing BUT every single desk was empty. As I'm filling out the app at Express the receptionist sent 3 people away because they didn't take walkins on that day...WOW really? These 3 aren't doing a damn thing THESE GUYS SUCK STAY AWAY FROM EXPRESS!!!!!
