Would give 0 stars if possible. My brother wanted to join, had been studying for the ASVAB and…read morethese guys told him lies. Specifically SFC Hernandez. My brother took the practice test and passed. Was told by SFC Hernandez that he could take the real test in their office (which is a straight up LIE...my husband was a recruiter and official testing is done at MEPS so everyone knows and won't be misled again). So my brother came back thinking he was taking the real test, got halfway through it and magically the computer screen goes blank and was told "well looks like we have to go to Sacramento." My husband was a recruiter for 4 years and active duty over 20 years so I know the routine. My brother went back on the day he was told by SFC Hernandez to go to MEPS and he wasn't even there. Instead the other soldiers there were incredibly rude and degrading with their comments. "Did you get all your partying done last month?" "No more weed brownies." You get the picture. So my brother left. Most anyone would after being lied to and treated like that by so called professionals. Not to mention SFC was constantly on my brothers social media being very pushy. Pretty apparent they need to make their quota for the month. Absolutely unprofessional! More training is needed and definitely a few counseling for their behavior. May I also suggest a change in leadership if that's how these soldiers are acting. Go to another recruiting station!

The military runs in my blood, and I have been raised around all branches, I started looking and researching all my options, for my MOS as a 31B and wanted it more than anything, even tho he told me straight up, keep my mind open to other MOS its not 100% you will get it even. It was tough and failing the first ASVAB.... 30days later and I am sworn in!!. After first talking to SSG. Deleon, everything went like clock work, never pushy always hopeful. Even tho I feel like I was asking to many questions, random things that I needed to know, so that I knew Army was my way to go!! I haven't regretted a min of it, I ship out in two months, and am very thankful for Vallejo station and SSG. Deleon's work to get me my MOS. I am proud to be part of the best... Really do talk to a recruiter, ask a lot of questions.. Happy Veterans =)

Terrible communication. Never once reached out for other opportunities and the the employer they…read moreset me with at the City of El Cerrito was unprofessional. Never gave them a notice of when they were going to use my services. They just called them the next day and said they didn't need me and I believe that was unprofessional.

Sgt. McPherson is a GOAT! She was super personable, patient, and answered all of our questions and…read moreconcerns. My sister was looking for a job in cyber security which we heard is quite difficult to get. Sgt. McPhereson explained exactly what my sister had to do to get that job and was very informative about the process. My sis then joined the delayed entry program which wasn't much of a delay at all! I don't know how she did it, but Sgt. worked her magic and my sister was matched with her job and was set to ship out in 2 months. Over the course of those 2 months Sgt. was very helpful at DEP calls and gave my sister a bunch of tips as to what to expect and what to pack. To say this woman is thorough is the understatement of the year. She's amazing at briefing us family on this whole process and even started giving us tips (PRO TIP: use sandboxx app to send letters wow life changer!!) my sister just left for basic feeling excited and prepared thanks to Sgt. McPherson's guidance. Overall I know my sister (and myself included) felt more comfortable with a female recruiter (sorry boys!) It truly felt like she was looking out for my sister's best interests instead of trying to hit a quota. She is a people person and she CARES! Never once did she feel pushy. This process is scary, but you're in great hands with her. I promise

She is honest, upfront with all information and extremely down to earth. My experience with TSgt McPherson showed me she is not there to necessarily make me feel comfortable but to challenge me to seek out what I truly want with my military career and that can only be done by testing her recruits. She prepared me each step of the way and made time to make sure I was ready for any all questions in the Military Entrance Program. In our first conversation, she let me talk about what I wanted to do in the Air Force and her response was direct, thorough and I truly appreciated her comments and honesty. I can't say thank you enough to TSgt McPherson because that's every recruit's first real experience and it set the tone for the next few months for me. Thank you so much TSgt and I hope to make you proud in the future.

UPDATE: PLEASE READ!…read more Okay, so this wouldn't let me share a new review, but Laurie frm this agency called me from a BLOCKED number today (6/7/16) complaining about my previous review. First off, she said she had a job offer for $26/HR cus she remembered about a bullshit side note she put along to help me find a job I guess, & then bring up my bad review on Yelp saying some shit like she didn't appreciate it and it wasn't her idea of cutting me off from a previous job I was wrking with that goes thru them. But why would you bring up a job offer AND my Yelp review at the same time AND call me on a block number? Like that's real unprofessional, and I ain't gotta be professional, they just a temp agency. It didn't make sense until it hit me, she was just really concerned about the 1 star rate and bad review on Yelp lmao. Guess Yelp is serious when it comes to business that never earned any stars or good reviews lol. I tried so hard to listen but driving and being on the phone is hard especially when 106 kmel is playing Cut it by yung dolph on the radio, you can't help but play it louder & sing the song along in your head. She didn't even let me say a word while she was blabbering on about who tf knws what she was talking about. But anyways and in other words, I'm assuming that she did not want to work with me and basically saying I'm cut off frm their company which is definitely a blessing because I'm now making 6k a month. Thanks for the cut off GGS!! And if you want to call and complain about this Yelp review, next time unblock your number. If I can rate this as no stars... I would definitely! HORRIBLE STAFFING. RUDE AF. The lady in the front, I believe her name is Morgan, very skinny like a twig is the most unprofessional receptionist I have ever encountered with. I would not use this company as a to go to temp agency. If you want a job... Do uber! They do not give you your direct deposit when it's suppose to be pay day. Fuck this place & the companies they rep! Surprised they don't have any reviews, they must not be known!
