I was scheduled for a video conference with a representative at 8am. The video call was not opened to join identifying "waiting for employer to begin meeting" . The delay was over 30 minutes with no contact from anyone at the S. Pasadena office to relay any information regarding the issue. I called, and was only able to 1. Text, or 2. Leave a vm. After texting, I still had to call and leave a vm before finally receiving a text from the original interviewing agent stating "im in the all now (40 minutes after the scheduled appointment) if you can join. In attempting to join, the link i had received for the appointment no longer allowed me to join at which point I asked for a new link. Crickets for a response, then I asked for status and was told "sorry, I cant help with any issues on your end" asked for a phone call, again, crickets. Im leaving an extensive review to make sure that this agency is aware of how unprofessional Sade Marie is conducting business as a face of their organization. Please accept my request for a review of this conduct and address the issue as necessary. Its absurd to think an agency trying to make a name for themselves in the industry to accept this type of character to represent them. read more

I don't appreciate the customer service I had received from Ms. Sade she had scheduled an interview with me as of yesterday confirmed for 11 am-11:30, She failed to email me or contact me the entire day. We rescheduled to 10 am and she failed to call me till 1040a- no excuse no reason as to why she had me waiting. Then tells me that the job she originally called me for closed! Very Unprofessional! I worked at 2 prior offices and did not get treated this way- read more

I am fortunate to have used Express Employment (South Pasadena) for both hiring employees and now as an actual employee myself. I knew they were very careful and vetted employees when I needed to hire someone as every temp we had thru express employment we hired permanently when the contract expired. Now on the other side of the coin, I became unemployed and Val in the South Pasadena branch found me an amazing job so fast. She helped me thru the whole process, negotiated an amazing hourly rate and even got me hired on permanently before my contract was up because I mentioned to her that my husband was laid-off and I needed to find alternate medical insurance. I cannot say enough about Express Employment and especially Val in South Pasadena. Customer service seems to be a dying art but not at Express Employment. Try them out as an employee/employer - you will not regret it. read more

Agents did not follow up with the applicant and confronted me with an unprofessional attitude when I brought up my concerns.

My experience here at express was nothing less than efficient and pleasant . Valerie was very professional and helpful, she got me a job that same day, i highly recommend this job agency to anyone that is serious about finding a good job read more

The process was fairly easy. I had found out about Express Employment professionals via internet. I called them, filled out an online application, and came in for my appointment. The staff was welcoming and friendly. And I was offered a job on the exact day. Thank you so much Express Employment Professionals ! read more

Express Employment Professionals - Employment Agencies Near Me - South Pasadena, California

See all

They don't seem to take their jobs seriously.. there's no answer when I call or text them that I am looking for a job. I don't feel supported or assisted in finding a job with them. Other employment agencies are more efficient and do a much better job in helping job seekers than this. read more

Inquired about this franchise and I was basically attacked by their vulture staff. Before 7am I received a barrage of text messages and emails. Just after 8am I received a follow up call to the previous communication attack. Their immediate, overwhelming response to a simple inquiring shows how desperate and artificial they are. RUN from this franchise. Fake, scam artist people. read more

been waiting on a job from them for 3 months they finally reached out to me with a job, took me 20 mins to respond just for them to tell me that the spot has already been filled. Why offer the job to multiple people at the same time knowing that only one can be accepted. read more

I applied for a job on the express app and I contacted them the next day and they got me a job within the next day they are fast and hassle free I appreciate them helping find a job I would definitely recommend them if your looking for a job read more

This is a friendly, professional office; Express Employment Professionals is worth your efforts to fill out the applications, and let them try to find you something. Keep in mind that employment agencies cannot always find you a job, but you need to get out there and TRY because you never know. The parking is close and free, and it's a stress-free environment when you go in to meet them, so give it a go, you're unemployed what do you have to lose?! I can tell these workers get on the phone--they are actually working and trying to get accounts to get jobs for us. Try it! read more

I had interviewed and tested with a few Temp agencies but Express got me a one weekend job the fastest and then a permanent job the fastest. The current job I'am at now I got it thru them. It was easy to communicate with them and was able to send them pictures of my time sheet via text messages. Which is great! Everybody I spoke to, interviewed with or texted with were very professional and very helpful! I do recommend Express to job seekers. read more

First of all, thank you for Greg M De pante and Expresss Employments to give me a great an opportunity to work with them. As I know this company is willing to help everyone who seeks job and good company. I got 2 jobs on the same time but I choose one. But today the company that work, they hired me. If you are looking for jobs please come to check it out. You will not be disappointed. read more

This is the place to go if you need work! Friendly staff, clean office, and cool art! Check them out! Shout out to Jeremy for throwing work my way and giving me the opportunity to work. read more

I've never been to an employment agency, so I don't have much to compare this to, but they just got me a full time job! I found out about them on Craigslist while I was searching for office jobs, and one popped up for a fast typist. It looked a little strange to me because it was through another agency other than the job they were advertising. I went in anyway, and treated it like a normal interview. Nowadays, you never know what's a scam, so I kept my guard up. However, employment agencies are totally legit. When you go in, they have you fill out an application if you haven't already done so online, then they have a casual interview. Ben was the one I spoke to about my skills and what kind of job I was looking for. He was very nice and I really felt like he was sincere about finding the right job for me. After that, I took some computer proficiency tests, and less than a week later, I have a job. They really pulled through! There's no cost, because these companies pay this agency to find quality employees for them. So if you need a job, part-time or full-time, give this place a try! They're really friendly. read more

Great & fast respond Kaya was very successful & quickly finding me a job. Thanks to everyone read more

I'm hired! I applied for a job via Craigslist that Express had put out. Ben Rogers called me back and was so kind, professional and helpful. He really went the extra mile to help me secure this position. I am normally very hesitant to work with "staffing companies" as in my experience, they usually post non-existent jobs to get people to apply and come in to get into their database. They never really help you find a job and require you to do all of the work. Not Express and Ben Rogers. When we thought the position I had applied for might go in another direction, Ben assured me that he would stick with me no matter what and help me find the right job for me. I am happy to say that as of yesterday, I am officially and gainfully employed! Thank you BEN! read more

This is, hands down, one of the most amazing agencies that I've had the pleasure of dealing with. I, like many, found them through an ad on Craiglist, and was very impressed with how the helpfulness and overall knowledge of their staff, especially Ben and Bruce. I had never been to Pasadena before, so Ben helped me find the easiest route there from my area. Once I was there, he didn't give me the impersonal 'you are just a temp' feeling I've gotten from certain other employment agencies. He was able to transfer information from my local express office in Covina, and got the ball rolling right away. After being placed as active through their office, it was less than two weeks before I was sent out for my first interview through them, and I was immediately placed! Better still, the office I started at was only about a 5 minute bus ride from the Express office. Talk about a model of convenience! Over a year later, there was a downturn at the company at which I was placed, and I was let go, along with several other others. I went straight back to Express and told them what happened. Less than three hours later, they had found me a new placement. I know this is an amazingly unbelievable feat, and will be likely very hard to replicate, it wouldn't have happened in the first place if Ben and Bruce of Express in South Pasadena didn't run things as well as they do. I've recently found myself on the hunt again, and this Express office was the very first place I called. I know they'll do their very best to help me however possible. If you are searching for a job, I don't care if Pasadena is 'a little bit of a jaunt'. It's worth going out of your comfort zone to have these guys working with you. I did, and trust me, they are amazing! read more

To start off my husband Tomas has been with express employment for 2 years and now he is working with monster energy drink thanks to Express my husband has a stable job. Very professional and when you need a job the next day, they are there to help you out. The next thing you know tomorrow is your first day. I love Express Employment. They are awesome. And I do recommend them. %100 read more

I've been with this staffing for years now. They are the BEST because they are real people who treat you like a real human being. Bruce, Ben, and Luis, you guys are the most professional, upbeat, and amazing people I've met. I am just sad that I don't live closer to their area. They do their best to help me when I needed help. From now on I compare any staffing agency to these guys; other places still have a long way to go before they get on the level of quality as this agency. read more

They're nice people and made me feel confident about working for them. They got me a job right away. It was much needed. Problem is, they haven't called me back. I took my nephew to sign up for services. They sent him on an assignment the next day. The owners of the business have been talking about hiring him permanently since his second day at work. He's been working for four weeks now. This is his first job. He has great hours. He gets a lot of over time! He's gained so much confidence I want to slap him sometimes! Lol! But I'm very proud of him! I'm grateful for Express finding him a job! read more

As you can see from previous reviews... I was not a fan of Express. Having said that, let me congratulate Hanna & Ben Rogers (Franchise owners) of Express Pasadena for taking the time to call me and listen to my grievances. I truly appreciate the level on professionalism, concern, and sincerity received. Kudos to both of them !! read more

This post is VERY LATE! I was set up with Express from March 2013- March 2014, so for one full year the team at Express was so helpful helping me find my way in California. Even when there wasn't much out there to offer me...they always kept me on their minds. Ben Rogers is the best, honest, straight to the point...love it! I have worked with several temp agencies over the years and seriously Express is the best...especially this particular branch. Thank you!!! read more

A good friend of mine just got a job through this agency, in as he had told me, in less than 24 hours and he enjoys the work that he does. I came in through referral from him and it's a nice office with friendly staff. Hopefully I am as fortunate as my friend in finding something but I have confidence in this place read more

I went in for an interview back in Nov and met with Greg. First I had to do a profile and sign paperwork. While with Greg we chatted about jobs that they may have and what I would like. Normal, I thought. So I did test. I did another test. After that I did another test. Finally, there was another tested. I was tired and hungry and felt like I was a hostage. I told Jasmine I was ready to go. She said okay! I assume I would hear back in a week maybe two about a job. NOPE! Its Feb and nothing. I don't think these people have actual jobs. I called Jasmine two days ago and she was like you need to come back we have more things for you to fill out! WTF If you want work go somewhere else. If you want to get the run around go here read more

My experience with Express Employment was the best ! from the first day of the interview i met with GREG he was very professional he asked me questions regarding what type of position i was looking for and explained to me how the agency works since this was my first time , he made me feel confident in finding a job since he called me the next day for an interview. thanks to express they found me a permanent employer who i am very happy with, i highly recommend express for work they are the best ! Thank you Greg and the friendly staff at express !! read more

I sign up job agency to gain experience for electronic field. I got hook up really fast. Their clients are okay but the pay is not good. Job description didn't match post what post to do . I started to dislike the company because they promised full time schedule then cut down two days or three days of work. Then finally they let me go like I'm piece of trash. After try out few months of job agency. I dislike their clients and exportation their temp worker. Plus out of work for fews weeks. EEP didn't help me find me other jobs. I'm done with job agency. read more

All the staff are very friendly and helpful. The environment that the office has established really make you feel like they're there to help you succeed. The process was reasonable and gave me relief that I'm well taken care of at this company. The staff that helped me, Kaya, was completely honest with what my skills will entail for me and my potential opportunities available that the company would do their best to help me with. It was very much appreciated! read more

Great place looking for a job helpful and kind to their clients. They also have great resources for people looking for work. CHECK THEM OUT ! read more

Great experience meeting the receptionist Jasmine, and interviewing with Diana very clean office very professional staff, they even have me water like if I'm vip, jasmine plays awesome music in the reception area, they have a referral program or $25 to referr a worker such as a friend or coworker! read more

I worked for Ben and his dad when they first purchased this business several years back, as their receptionist, while they were looking for someone full time to do it. ( I was only wanting temporary at the time) they were the NICEST people to work for and really treated people well. High ethics and standards. I am glad to see they are still going strong. Jean West read more

Still waiting after 4 weeks. I got Rosa, and she offered no help whatsoever. Complete runaround and the feeling like they don't really care what happens, it's just a job to her. It's kind of like having a flaky ex girlfriend look for work for you. Congratulations to Rosa for being the WORST person possible for this job. I complained to management (although I doubt they will follow up). This was not a positive experience for me. Just go to Apple one, you'll have better chances. read more

I am not sure where to start but this is probably the best agency to go for if you would like to find a local job that matches your skills and experience! I was contacted by one of their agents about an assignment and within hours of agreement, I get my appointment set up for two days later and THEN I was informed about getting the job on the same day! I really like their system and the way they help people and local businesses. Each office is individually owned however they are a big corporation with over 600 locations in North America. I appreciate Kaya's fast work and Ben (the owner of South Pasadena location) is very friendly, professional, and all about the people. Thanks to them I was able to get myself a bank job that I have experience in! I would definitely recommend this staffing agency to all my friends and family, and it is definitely better than AppleOne. read more

Nobody even help you! What a waste of time.... I called and send in my resume but haven't heard anything back from the company, what a joke!

I used this agency last year to try to find a job but they never found me a job. I was calling every week for a few months about my availability but after awhile I stopped because nothing came out of it. I was able to find a temp job on my own on Craigslist. read more

I've known Ben and Bruce for years, decided to give them a try this morning because I need a job as of this past Thursday and exactly 1 hour later I was sent a job offer and accepted! THEY LIVE BY THEIR NAME~EXPRESS read more

Terrible company to try finding work. Better off not using express pros terrible benefits rude and unprofessional staff!!! For a temp agency to have your back they don't they give you the worst jobs that no one else will take. Overall my experience with Express Pros is frowned upon!!! read more

Met with Bruce 3 months ago, he got me an interview...and 3 months later "I am hired permanently" These guys don't just send you out, they really know how to match your qualifications to companies. Wendy is the best, she's the lady you'll see at the front, very welcoming and always on top of the weekly time cards. I would highly recommend Express Employment Agency in South Pasadena.... Thumbs up guys! read more

I recently spoke with Ben Rogers at Express and he has been wonderful and very helpful. He explained the process to me and was able to get me a interview. I appreciate how he takes time out of his day to keep my up to date about current position. It's great working with such a positive agency. read more

My experience with Express Employment was very remarkable. Super professional, nice and seem to really care about getting you work. Eve and Kaya helped me out and they are really amazing people. I would definitely recommend this agency. read more
