I had a terrible experience with the woman scheduling my appointment. She made an appointment without me knowing then tried to mark it as a no show. I never said I was going in, she just made an assumption and then proceeded to become very argumentative, condescending and disrespectful all because she couldn't admit she had made a mistake. I would utilize a more professional company. read more

Abby was very rude and unprofessional over the phone. She did not act like that in person. Called to let them know I can't make it to work because of family emergency and it's important. ABBY decides to tell me it's not important and hangs up before I even get the chance to explain. Don't know what her problem was but the business needs to let her know her place. This isn't the FIRST or LAST bad review on her. That should tell you something. DON'T RECOMMEND this place, go somewhere else there are plenty in Modesto. read more

Drove 30 minutes to their office to find out they take appointment calls only. My advice, apply on their website l, create a profile, call the office. Do not drive to their office. I called in front of the office, the staffs were chatter boxes. They told me to apply online and someone will get back to me. One of their staffs got back to me offered me a few interviews for a job and even communicated thoroughly on text, sadly she left the company and no one notified me which means no one was looking at my profile. They end up getting a new lady, who's training. Kept giving me false hope to potentially getting job offers. None of the staff took accountability for their shortcomings. Instead gave attitude. read more

Hours are misleading. I called around 4:30 pm, but nobody answered the phone. I came here ten minutes before 5 pm to find that they were closed, even though the hours are listed as being open until 5:30 pm. Do you really close at 5:30 pm or whenever it is convenient for you and not everyone else, especially those that are unemployed and looking for work? read more

Super misleading. I have been job hunting and after finding this company I thought they were hiring for their personal office. I went in for an "interview" and come to find out that they submitted my resume to other places. No wonder they have 1 star reviews. Super MISLEADING! read more

This company does not follow any of the COVID regulations. No masks in sight. Rude and disorganized, not what I look for in a temp agency.

I was new to Modesto and contacted PrideStaff. They got me a job for that lasted 7 months in 2017. Eventually, I took a full time job at a different company. However, from start to finish Melissa was and still has been super helpful. I recently needed a typing test. I checked in with Melissa who I had not spoke to in months. She made time to communicate quickly and got me set up for a typing test the same day. The front desk staff was polite and helpful. Thank you! read more

I applied because I'm having trouble finding a job, they called me and I was so hopeful that they could help. Since I haven't had work consecutively for three months they said they couldn't help me. If I had work for more than three months consecutively then why would I need a temp agency? It's so illogical and stupid. I cannot understand it. read more

ok temp place, some of the employees work hard and try to help people. Too bad the owner Alisa is such a rude bitch. She judges you on your appearance moreso than your skillset, stuck up idiot, it's 2019 and you still care about clothing? Get a life. read more

I recommend this place for anyone looking for their dream job. The employees were kind, understanding and friendly, an especial thanks from Abigail Filan I am very grateful she helped me found my favorite job. read more

I discovered Pride Staffing through craigslist, i missed the job fair that they had posted but was able to come in for an individual appointment. I was given an appointment very quickly, went in filled out the paperwork in less than an hour, I was then directed and set up with an interview that same day!! Pride staff are extremely efficient and friendly! The office is beautiful and very comfortable too! Big thanks to Kaitlyn for all of her help and being so attentive!! read more

Agree with all the negative reviews. I signed up with this agency several months ago. Have called in my availability every week...and been told, they will let "Melissa" know I called in. When I did actually get to talk to Melissa once she told me exactly what was stated in a prior review (and denied by the support person in the reply) and that was the fact that they list jobs for recruiting purposes and they aren't "real" positions but those jobs "come and go" so they never know when a clerical/payroll/admin assistant/office type job will be available. Don't waste your time with this agency. They don't return calls, they don't place people, and they don't even let you know any "why" so that you can plan around things. One time I had been in the office (since that was the only way to actually speak to someone) I walked in to do an updated assessment (with an appt) and asked to speak to Melissa when I was finished, I was told she had a meeting she was in, but that she would be able to see me afterward. I guess they didn't think I would wait, because I watched her come out of her meeting, get her lunch, eat her lunch, and then ask if I had been helped yet. I told her I had been waiting to speak to her since I hadn't heard back from her yet via phone, and wanted to know what positions were open or coming up in the next few weeks, if any. She then said I needed to have a face to face interview with another lady (Melissa's supervisor) Mind you, I have over 20 yrs experience in admin assisting, payroll, HR, etc. but I have been out of work more than a year and am trying to get back into a position. The supervisor said they were looking for someone for 2 positions and that I seemed to be a good fit. They then both told me they would submit my resume to the companies they were recruiting for and I would get a call the next morning (Friday) telling me time and date of my interview the next week. I never got a call and at 1pm on Friday when I called their office I was told Melissa had gone home for the day and the supervisor was off that entire day. I called Monday and neither person was available to take my call. This office is a bad example of how to do business. Please stay away from them!! read more

I want to thank Leann Cortez and the people of pridestaff for keeping me employed the last year.. It really meant alot until I could get my own business up and running..they were all so professional and friendly helping me with the applications on the computer always returning my calls and texting me weekly to see how work was going..they placed me in a job right away and I am truly grateful for their service.. read more

I've been working with pridestaff for a couple years now. I've had a god experience until 2 girls left. Now only one girl was dealing with Getting me jobs. They keep sending me places that miscommunicate. Also they just sometimes will assume you know all the info about the job and they won't send you the text/Email explaining everything. THEY ALSO PLAY FAVORITES! They will send the same people places. ALSO. When you have a problem with the company... they don't try anything to fix it. They just say sorry and move on. I had an interview and they made me wait 3 weeks to find out that I didn't get the job. Meanwhile they could have been DOING THEIR JOB and finding me another. This place has become completely unprofessional. I'm appalled at how they do business here. read more

Had an appointment at 10:30 wasn't seen until about 1130 was told there was plenty of labor ready jobs asked for one in the meantime while I waited for another one they had me applying for Melissa refused to give me one tell me I had to wait until I got turned down for the other ones. Fast forward next day she calls around 12pm tells me the job interview is in Livingston (which she told me is only 20min away & the gps only says 35min if you do the speed limit ) but the job might be in Turlock she would call back to confirm I get my things ready. Never called back until the next day. Tells me the only other job she has and I let her know that I had already known about that position from another temp agency mind you this wasn't some hard labor position it was a one spot position the same company was trying to fill. I ask for anything any hard labor job to just work in the meantime she tells me there's nothing right now. OK I'll bite assuming she wasn't lying if you're reading this on a date close to the post date there's no jobs other then those two or this review is valid and so was the one star. These agencies get money for getting you hired so if they feel that you can fill a hire wage position they would rather hold you up from anything else even if you need the money in the meantime so that they can hopefully land your position that makes you more money and them.Unfortunately if you're looking to work immediately this is not gonna work for you which let's be honest most of us only go to these agencies to try and get some immediate work. At least they could be transparent about it Shout out to the receptionist though,only one on point and polite even apologize for the shortcomings such as the tardiness on the appointment. -1 Star Tardy on own appointment -1 Star said would call back asap had me waiting never did and wasting my time -1 for being a labor agency with only two available jobs (like a empty grocery store) or lying about it. -1 For Melissa being rude about too, no customer service I guess read more

Do not attemp to apply to this company because i just talked to Lean cortez and she asked me about my job history, and after that she send me a online application and told me to call her back when im done and when i called back, they told me that im not qualified because i dont have 6 months in warehouse so basically, leann cortez wasted my time to fill up online application even though i already told her my experience. This agency should be closed. read more

Wow. Wow. And wow!!!!! Leanne, Rose, Tiffany.... hell! All the employees here are GREAT! So polite. So sweet. And so dedicated into getting you a job! I came in here desperate for a job, and there were open interviews. I never really had luck with agencies.... but this one was different. I went in, applied, had my interview and had been told to wait for them to contact me about a job opportunity. I come home from the interview and immediately get a call getting an opportunity! Understand that if you don't get contacted right away, it's because they're no jobs available, but the thing with this agency is there are so many jobs that comes and goes. You might need to be a little patient, but I promise it's worth it. THANK YOU PRIDE STAFF! read more

This agency is great, but only for a certain line of work (i.e. warehouse work)... not all. After signing up with them, I called every week to do an update and see if they had anything available in the medical field. Every week was the same answer "no, but we'll update your profile." Once I called in and asked if there was anything available and the young lady who answered the phone quickly said no... but I hadn't even given her my name yet, so I asked if that "no" was for all areas of work. She put me on hold and a man got on the phone telling me there were two jobs available. I went to an interview for one of them, but they never contacted me back on if it was a yay or nay. Then one day a lady called me with a potential job offer, I told her I was interested. A week goes by and I hear nothing back from them, so I call for a follow-up, they didn't even know who I was or what the job was! After she found all information she said she hadn't heard back from the company yet, so sit tight. Next day a man calls me and wants to know if I'm still interested in that job opening because they hadn't heard from me in a while... honestly! After that I never heard from them again. I know times are tough right now, but if you don't have work for me, be honest! Instead of dragging me along and getting my hopes up. I'm moving onto a different agency. read more

I agree with the other reviews. I don't know who these staffing agencies even make payroll for their own staff, they don't call you, they don't return calls. I had my first appointment with them last Wednesday, Clark said he would touch base with me the following Friday, which he did not. I have sent him an email, no response, also called him today, no response. What is the point? I wasted my time sitting at the office, taking their assessment tests, and for what? Signed, disappointed!! read more

This office is nothing but a joke!!! I worked for them, completed the assignment, did not miss even one day, stayed on longer and turned down a job for the employer who themselves are a joke. Pride staff does not care if you are a hard worker and do your job, miss no days and simply make them look good when they DO NOT deserve it. What is even worse is MELISSA who works in this office will give you nothing but a generic answer you are of no importance when they are filling jobs. Then the jobs that they post online ARE NOT EVEN REAL it was specifically said when I questioned them about a few different positions that the jobs ARE ONLY ON THERE TO BRING PEOPLE IN, the jobs don't even really exist. Melissa Stewart 12/30/16 to me Hi ,  The job postings that have gone up lately are mainly to recruit. read more

I've dealt with many temp services throughout my professional career and understand that there may be some communication issues but this Pridestaff location is the worse. Went to one interview with them and the female recruiter who shall remained unnamed, never followed up with the determination of the client. I called twice and even left messages with the people for her to return my call and no response. Never again... After reading these reviews, this sounds like the norm for them. What a shame it's their integrity on the line. I would not recommend them. read more

The girl at the front desk was very rude to me. I walked in with my resume and explained to her I am a Veteran who has been struggling to find work the last 4 months as I have a steel plate in my arm with 6 screws. I have years of forklift experience from the military and civilian world and she could only focus on my 4 month gap in work history even though I told her I had been looking for work the entire time and doing odd jobs. I have a certified OSHA forklift certification and she told me "forklift certification doesn't mean anything". She was implying experience is what mattered. I have over 7 years experience driving a forklift but she could only focus on my gap in work history. Guess is doesn't pay to have served your country. read more

This place is horrible. They argue with you. They won't give you a job based on personal preference. Also my gf worked here and their clients let her go for no reason. Their clients treat their employees like garbage. Don't go through this company. Save yourself time. read more

I went to their job fair and the receptionist informed me that they were only looking for individuals who had recent and relevant work experience. I explained that I recently worked at Tesla and then walked out. They are foul, they are not forthcoming and they are vague in their response when you ask them questions regarding the employer or specific job requirements. Trust all of the other comments regarding their personal experience with pridestaff. NEVER AGAIN... read more

When this office was located in Stockton, they were my 'go to' reliable agency. Because I had worked several successful assignments through them I always felt I could count on Pride Staff to place me. If I were in between jobs, I knew I could count on Pride Staff........that was until they moved to Modesto, SMH. I've never had a problem with reliability or lacking a good work ethic, so when I re-registered (providing I'9 info) started calling in my availability, I figured like in the past, I would get a call in a few days and presented with an opportunity or two, but I got no call. I called and was given the name and email addy of the clerical representative out of the office, so I called and emailed her...no call back, no email. I called back a week later, AGAIN no call back. Maybe they are NOW just placing 'CERTAIN' people who walk through the door. When I voiced my complaint, I was told they have new staff and they are in the training process.......yeah right. That is no excuse for subpar, unprofessional service. read more

Simply put - THIS BUSINESS IS A SCAM!! It's apparent that the owner doesn't care about the reviews and lack of follow up by her staff, as she's never in and never returns calls. Please note that the complaints are the same from many reviewers - lack of follow up and placement, rudeness, etc. On other websites, the owner has a standard 'I apologize for the poor service you received from my staff, please contact me at....' response, noting the generic business phone number as her contact number. But never leaves her direct phone number, nor her email. Additionally, it seems that she and other staffing consultants are rarely in - go figure... Just a very insulting and unprofessional experience!!! If the owner cares so little, why doesn't she just retire and sell or close her business!? read more

Worst service in an agency that I've ever been to conversations about their weekend and drinking and carrying on about their personal life so everybody in the office can hear while they were doing interviews read more

I called to inquire about some jobs and the man who answered the phone was not helpful what so ever. It seemed as if he didn't want to help me find a job. Horrible! read more

I showed up to the Modesto office for an Administrative Job Fair as advertised. Upon arrival, a handful of people were waiting and the receptionist was preoccupied. While sitting in the cramped lobby, the receptionist was giving an applicant a hard time for showing up 30 minutes before the "Job Fair" was over and not completing the online application beforehand. From working several years in staffing - I know this is ample time and not a fuss that needs to be brought up. After about 5 minutes it was my turn and although the receptionist was pleasant, she too, tried to tell me that with 20 minutes before the end time, it would be a tight squeeze. After sharing my work experience, she informed me the Admin Recruiter was not even there for the Admin Job Fair they had advertised! I would need to schedule a later appointment. No apology was offered. When asked if there was anybody else I could interview with, knowing the industry and having qualified experience, it would be a quick interview - they said no one else was able to cover. Waste of time and dismissive staff. From this impression and several reviews from past employed contractors, I don't recommend this agency. read more
