I have been working with Express Employment for quite sometime. About five years off and on. The amount of professionalism and attentiveness that all of the recruiters their show outshines any staffing agency ive ever worked with. Most recently I've had the pleasure ow working closely with Adriana she is always efficient, available, consistent and making sure she follows up and stays in contact. with express I feel includes, apart if the team and like they always look out for my best interest. I always feel encouraged and like they want the best fit for me as much as I want it for myself. I am never made to fell like just another "temp" or "seat filler" but an actual employee. Anyone looking for temporary/ short term or even temporary to hire positions would greatly benefit from working woth Express Employment-Vista read more

what a disappointment. I am writing this weeks after my first (and only) visit. I arrived early, filled out the paperwork required... my appointment with Karina was at 10am. At 10:15 she came and collected me. NO acknowledgement of being late, nothing. I decided to pick my battles. The visit was pleasant... I had applied for a specific job that she told me had yet to start interviews. No worries. I sent her additional info pertaining to my qualifications. I knew we would be waiting a bit. So... I waited. And, waited. I finally called two weeks later... seems she is out of office. For weeks. The person taking her tasks while she is out tells me... "they found someone else". Wow. I know that nothing is guaranteed... and there is always someone better qualified. I mean, that's life. BUT... the lack of professionalism here is gob-smacking. Why not piss directly on me? Would NOT recommend this office. The team clearly is not mature or professional enough to handle candidates. Such a let down. read more

Called scheduled a interview when I got there they told me they filled the position waste of time and money

They helped me get a job then the place ended my assignment after a few days and they didn't tell me why. I was showing up on time and doing everything I was told to do. Yet they still ended my assignment. Then I asked if they have other jobs available and they offered me ones with very low salary and I declined. I saw a add on indeed gave them a call and said I want to apply for the job and they said they are big company and want to give others a chance at the job and will let me know if they are hiring multiple people. This place is a huge waste of time. I'd recommend manpower or Volt. Don't waste your time here. read more

I've worked with Express twice, and they have never failed to get me a job right away. The staff is always helpful, courteous and sensitive to my needs. I'm so glad I found them. read more

This company is horrible and treats people poorly. I was going to use this agency for some staffing needs I had. I chose to walk in and was yelled at by the receptionist. She thought I shouldn't stand where I was. I then got upset and asked for the manager. She refused to get the office manager for me. The owner got back to me repidly via email. After I sent an email to inform him of what was going on. He stated his manager would get back to me right away. She did call me two days later and left me a message while I was on the phone. I returned the all several times trying to get a hold of her. She kept avoiding my phone calls. To date I am still waitning for a resolution. This took place about 3-4 months ago. I tried to walk in one more time and the receptionist asked me to leave because I asked to see a manager and would not tell her why. I have used many agencies and everyone who has been through this one has said how poorly they treat people. The owner seems to allow the team to do whatever they want with no reprocussions. They treat everyone with no respect and have created nothing shy of a hostile enviroment for everyone from potential clients to employees. If you choose to walk in good luck read more

I have worked for several temporary agencies in the past and have found that Express Employment Professionals is by far my favorite. They offered me several great paying positions but they didn't pressure me into taking something I wasn't comfortable with. Trisha McKinney was wonderful and really kept my needs in mind when looking for a great position for me. Only a couple of days after signing up with Express Employment, they found me an awesome temp job -- I look forward to my next exciting position. read more

I had an amazing experience here. They were very helpful and professional. Helped me find an amazing job, and I couldn't be happier. I recommend anyone looking for employment to stop by and see them. Everyone they're is very nice. read more

I went to this website because I thought it'd be a suitable company to work for. I filled out my resume and I got an email a couple days ago, they wanted to schedule an immediate interview. Of course I went, but I went to a hidden part of San marcos and I already felt like my hunch was saying " this is gonna be a waste of time" I was right. I went to the front desk,and the lady escorted me to do paperwork. ..normally I would fill out paperwork if I got the job but no, that wasn't the case. I filled out the paper work,on top of that a lousy test to see if I have skills to work as an admin assistant. I spent 30 minutes figuring this test out and the lady kept coming back every 5 mins on how I was doing. She started getting irritated with me cause I couldn't figure out one question,and she stammered "SKIP IT,& go to the next one". I didn't feel comfortable. I was dressed for success too.. the girl next to me was doing a test and she was wearing jeans and a t- shirt. I soon began to think I should walk out. . And then I finally finished the test, I couldn't find the old lady. So. I sat there waited and looked over my test.. and she came back Why didn't you tell me you were done? ! I said because you weren't at your desk. So I went to the "interview". I had a few experiences in the field, but I'm not dumb. She asked for my salary minimum requirement, I said ##, and she goes,that's too high, you'd start at $12/hr. She said do you want to call it quits?I looked at her, and I so badly wanted to yell, but no I kept it cool, and shook her hand and walked out. Don't waste your time making 12/hr, I wouldn't especially here in California. Good luck read more

Interview you in front of everyone ask personal questions in a open environment, it's kinda weird to be honest. Tell them early hours please. She looks away then say I have a job starts at 2:00 pm . Uuuuuh I said earlier hours. read more

The staff at express employment welcomed me with a smile, and wasted no time getting me through the application process. They also found a job that suited my requirements the day I finished my applications and drug tests. Definitely the best place to find work. read more

I was called into the vista office and while waiting I recieved a better offer and decided to leave and not use the service. Even after telling them I will not need them they still called my references. NOT. OK.! Adriana tried to explain that's the process for the phone interview before I can come in when in fact they called after I had not wanted to use there services. That's a misuse of information! Would not recommend going there. read more

I have been with Express Pros over 6 months now. They got me thru the hiring process much quicker than the other agencies I was working with. I turned down another agency to go with Express Pros as they had a great job waiting for me. I wish I had gone to them sooner as my co-worker had recommended. They have always been very quick to respond to any requests I had. I have never had a problem with my paycheck being on time and accurate. One time when I had a personal situation come up, Adriana Segoviano at their Front Desk went well out of her way to accommodate me. I just want to mention I am white, and there is no bias there. Also, I had been facing much age discrimination, but they made me feel respected and valued. Though I am have not been hired as a permanent at the company I have been working for, it is due to the needs of that company, and not the fault of Express Pros. read more

I've never worked with an Employment agency before so I was worried it wouldn't turn out to be the right path for me. After meeting with Lidia Guerrero, the staffing consultant, all my worries were laid to rest. She found me employment right away at a fast growing company that excepted me like family. I've only been with Express for about 3 months and haven't had any problems, they run a tight ship and they are very reliable, professional and personable. Thank You Lidia at Express for all of your help. read more

WOW! I'm so pleased with the great service and professionalism they have. Mayela Avalos was amazing finding employees on a very short notice I gave her. I strongly recommend Express Employment because they are professional and have affordable prices and always care for customers. I definitely look forward to working with them again soon. Congratulations!!! read more

This is the worse company ever. The receptionist was too busy trying to get the gossip from Rebecca and the other lady. I was watching customer's come in the office with complaints and the receptionist was being rude and talking down to the customer's. If it wasn't for these people to work for them, they wouldn't have a job. It took Rebecca 20 minutes to look over my resume and gossip some more with the other ladies. A company pays around $25 an hour to this temp agency to hire workers and the temp pays the workers no more than $12 dollars. You think they would give better service. Rebecca needs to learn how to do customer service along with the other ladies. I was told I would get a call in the morning and never did. I emailed and called and two days later finally got Rebecca on the phone. She claimed not to have work, when indeed the website had plenty of jobs listed. The whole staff should get replaced with new employees. read more

Waste of time. Submitted resume online and was told to come in for interview. Had to enter info into their program and set up account. Waited 1 hour to be told the couldn't find me a job. They didn't even look at my resume I submitted online. read more

The worst agency around. You come into the office they are all in back talking. When they are done with their conversation then they come over and ask if you need help. Do the regular paper work, interview, etc... They never find you a job.. You call to speak to your rep and they are always out to lunch, no matter what time you call.. read more

Great service & really nice they were not rude they sure were helping me all nicely & paciently they welkome me so gratefull hope the staff menbers would continue like this read more

If you're ever looking for a suitable Job, I advise you not to go to this company located in Carlsbad. Lydia is a recruiter there and she is a recruiter with a snobby attitude and told one person who was really looking for a job that she wouldn't send them to a job site because of their pants. She is rude and really needs to work on her people skills. On top of that she thinks her shit don't stink is the impression I had gotten, she was no help at all and there are people who are really out here looking for work and they may not have the best clothes due to financial hardship, I mean why do you think their even there to get a job because they're going through a hard time. People always talk and say oh there's plenty of job opportunities out here but recruiters like her are ignorant and aren't willing to give people a real chance, that's wrong with society they judge based off of some pants or how a person looks without looking at they're work ethic and their abilities.. I advise you please don't ever go to her for a job opportunity, she thinks she's better than the next person and I really think she should get fired. She is no help at all. She's rude and comes off as snobby. Lydia I hope you read this bc you need a reality check, your shit stinks and your makeup was awful. How's that for some pants. God bless your ugly soul. Express please fire her.im going to call corporate On her or hr on her because I don't think it's right for her to talk to people the way she does, it's rude and inconsiderate. It's not what you say, it's how you say it, there is other ways of how you speak to someone. I hope they fire her because clearly she's like that with everyone and first impressions go a long way. I hope she reads this review to. read more

DON'T EVEN THINK about using this agency. They will just waste your time filling out piles of papers and then lie to your face just to get rid of you if you're a more mature worker. not good- read more

I worked for Express Employment and I was not impressed from the beginning, they spoke Spanish right in front of me, I find that an insult because I don't know what they are saying, they could be talking about me behind my back. I was sent to a job to sort out boxes and unload trucks. I was the only white person there except for the owners, I worked my ass off for 10 dollars an hour and again no one could speak English. I just called them today to see if they had some work but they black balled me, they said the employer did not want me back which is a lie because they liked my work and gave me a coupon for 50% off anything in the store. They don't like me because of the yelp response. Don't work for them they will ruin your career specially if you are white. read more

I signed up with this company in May and went thru the whole process of verifying employment, character references and a wealth of experience in my career. In the beginning I felt that I arrived at the right place. To date, I have had NO calls for employment. After several emails and leaving a couple of phone messages.....still no response. I will look elsewhere and feel I have a better chance at seeking employment on my own. Disappointed! read more

Express is very quick to help. As soon as you walk in the door they will greet you happily and will do everything in their power to get you employed. They are always friendly and efficient. Their goal is to get you that job. read more

Cathy Guddee has been an exceptional liaison in assisting me in my job search. She has outstanding customer service with a friendly outgoing personality and I always enjoy talking with her about my job experiences. read more

The staff have been quite welcoming, friendly and helpful. Cathy Guddee took quite a bit of time with me not just evaluating my skills but learning about me and what I was looking for. So far I've been kept busy and have regular contact from Cathy to make sure things are going well. It's been quite a positive experience. read more

If you wait for about two or three weeks you might get a job. However they dont step up to the bat like you would think. All they do is send your resume out and wait to see if the employer would like to see you or not. Over all there probably the best you can get out here. read more
