The staff was super friendly and even helped me tweak my Excel skills by letting me practice on the tutorial software. Only drawback, they don't have direct deposit available, so, you'll either have to swing by or get it through the mail weekly. You can also just fax or drop off your time card.

I definitely recommend Joe to anyone in the job market, he's proactive and great to work with!

This time round I was required to attend a meeting with an account executive from the WIA (Workforce Investment Act). I personally have never met a more conceded self-centered BI-ATCH in my life! She asked me questions that were personal and in appreciate! Out of the blue she asked me if I had high blood pressure! WTF?? This woman was incredibly abrupt, rude and her behavior unwarranted! At one point she pretty much told me to get outside and get more exercise!! I couldn't believe the friggin' rudeness of this person who represents the tax payers!! Good thing I was smart enough to record our conversation, because I'm still deciding if legal action is warranted!! I personally don't understand how people such as this woman get into such positions! She was pretentious and presumed to know my circumstances!! This woman hasn't a clue what I've been through over the past year and SHOULD NOT be in such a position within the WIA program!

This place is nothing but a joke. I walked in wearing a suit, with a resume in hand ready to sit…read moredown with a job recruiter and talk what kinda jobs my degree could get me. I was told to take a seat down at the computer lab and put in applications online. The exact sorta stuff I could have done in the comfort of my own home or lacking that could be down at my local library which is much closer to where I live and easier to find. I probably could just do that sorta thing at a friends house. I'm convinced this place is a scam, or some kinda front that launders money or something. went back as a joke to play video games and mess around on the computers and they were locked down to the point anything like that would be impossible. But they messed up big time in doing even that. You can't use a flash drive here. meaning if I don't have google drive and I wanted to edit my resume via external media I can't. I can't give this place a bad enough review. I feel like they deserve a negative score and that a 1/5 is too generous. I hope this place goes out of business. If you own a smart phone, tablet, computer of any kind, know a friend that owns such technology and can let you use it, or can ride the simi bus to the library, don't bother coming to this place. It is a complete waste of time. all it will do is leave you feeling cheated and angry

I don't even know how to begin to express my gratitude and appreciation for all that PrideStaff and…read moreShani have done for me. There is something truly special and unique about Shani. From the moment we first spoke, she has always been so full care, thoughtfulness, and transparency. You can tell that she's fully dedicated to her job and truly cares. I came to Pridestaff somewhat hopeless and helpless and from that first interaction, Shani renewed my hope ten fold. I have been in the work force for 20 years but never in a corporate office setting. So I understood that I most likely had to start in an entry level position, which generally meant a lower pay. My job search journey prior to Pridestaff left me a little disheartened to be honest. I knew my worth and knew that I could be an absolute asset to whomever I ended up working for. But I didn't know how to fully connect my skills and experience to the jobs I was applying for. I also didn't know what I even was qualified to do. My other main concern was finding an entry level job that would still be financially sustainable. Shani patiently listened to all my fears and concerns. She also listened to all my hopes and aspirations and experiences. And then in a brilliant way, she was able to see in me and pull out of me a part of myself I didn't know existed. She was able to connect all my gifts, skills and experiences, to the positions that would best suit me and allow me to truly shine. She fought so hard for me from day one. Saw my worth, heard my concerns, and would not allow me to settle for less than what I deserved. She was able to connect me with a company that I am beyond thrilled to be a part of. I could never have imagined such a place could want inexperienced me, but Shani spoke so highly of me that the company didn't question taking a chance on me. What Shani found for me is everything I could ever want in a job and more. I've been there since March (and it's now August) and still find myself wondering how I was able to land such an amazing job for an amazing company that supports me in every sense of the word. In all actuality, there is nothing to wonder. Shani saw and understood me. She heard and understood my company. She knew that both the company and I could provide exactly what the other needed. And she was right. And I am grateful every day that I was introduced to Pridestaff and especially to the phenomenal Shani. From the depths of my heart, thank you.

She then connected me with Maria, who essentially wasted my time. I asked for an explanation of the process, which was extremely confusing. Maria was extremely rude, very confused by my explaining my experience, and then questioned what I really wanted by calling them. She then acted confused when I sent over job postings that told me to contact the number. Extremely unprofessional service, and she accused me of being aggressive when all I did was explain my experience. I explained my experience and sent over my resume, and she said, "No offense, a janitor can do data entry jobs." Keep in mind that I have a master's degree, so this was extremely unprofessional and rude. Do not waste your time with this temp agency; they are not happy with their jobs, as they are there to find jobs for other people. As a recruiter, it should not be hard to review a resume, since your entire job is dealing with them. Listen to the other negative reviews because I have never experienced this level of unprofessionalism and rudeness from any recruiter before, and I have spoken to many professional recruiters who would never be as unprofessional and rude as Maria.

Near the end of 2022 I decided to rejoin the workforce after a 6 month sabbatical from a stressful…read morejob that I had previously worked at for 9 years. During the first few months I was skeptical of finding placement but my agent Lois was always on the lookout for a position. My work experience and background were niche, however, she did her best to find me potential jobs. In fact, she found several places for me to interview with, but sadly I was overqualified for those positions. I still appreciated her dedication for the search efforts. One place I interviewed at gave feedback that I was a top candidate except they had found a more suitable match for the position. Lois did not forget about me or that opportunity, and when that position became vacant again she immediately called me and encouraged me to take the job. I am now working at an organization that feels like a dream come true, all thanks to Lois' help. For those who have had poor experiences with their agent, I can only assume they sat back and waited for something to fall in their lap. Finding good work also requires follow-up, just like anything else in life we want but do not have.

BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you end up using Michelle, it will ruin all other agencies for you…read more I am a professional career nanny. I have over seven years of nannying experience, five years of teaching experience, and more. I have a B/S in childhood development as well as my MAT. When I began my search for a nanny-family in LA, I did my due diligence by shopping around looking at multiple agencies. I found that Michelle had the TOP RATED AGENCY ON MULTIPLE SITES and wanted to take a closer look. I read through every. single. review. I thought to myself, "Really? Every single person had a positive experience with this agency? That's just not statistically possible if she's really working with this many people..." I decided to set up a meeting. I drove to her office where we met to discuss particulars (what I'm looking for, what families are in the market for a nanny right now, what ages/salary/commute/hours I'm looking for) and the moment she opened the door and greeted me with a giant smile and her upbeat, positive attitude, I felt like just working with HER was my perfect placement! Once we started the process, Michelle was completely professional while also refreshingly honest and realistic in her suggestions. She really took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for and she only suggested me to families that she knew had the potential to be a "love match!" After looking at a few potential matches, Michelle called me to tell me that she had "found my family!" She said, "This is the one. Please go for an interview and see for yourself." So I did. This is the part of the review where I'm going to get annoyingly emotional. Not only did the family and I immediately "click," but Michelle had made sure that all of our stats were in alignment. The age range, schedule, amount of hours, commuting time, pay rate, expectations and needs happened to all align with what I was looking for. It was LITERALLY the PERFECT PLACEMENT!!!! Coincidence? I think not. Michelle is highly intelligent, professional, personable, understanding, diligent, experienced, communicative, and pleasantly charismatic and I owe my job satisfaction directly to her. Now that I think about it, maybe I should send over a bottle of wine. Thank you, Michelle, for just being so incredibly good at what you do. As I mentioned earlier, when I started this process, I read through every one of your (5 star) reviews and thought, "There's just no way every single review can be five stars..." and now here I am adding one more.

I met Michelle at a time when I was at a low point in my nanny career and personal life. I had…read morebeen looking for top nanny position and had been on many interviews through other agencies. It seemed like I had landed a few dream jobs only for it to slip away from me. Really trying times. Then I met Michelle! This brings a smile to my face. Meeting with her felt like chatting with a friend. I realized after that this is her skill. She loves people and wants to represent both the families and the nannies. It was a slow period and she didn't have any job opportunities at the time when I signed up with her agency, the perfect placement. After being on the hunt for my top nanny job with a kind family for many months and it wasn't happening I was getting ready to move out of state. I mentioned to Michelle that I'm no longer looking for a position as it doesn't seem like it's going to happen. Michelle didn't give up on me. She called me with 2 opportunities. I went on both interviews and was called back to do a trial for the one that I wanted !! Yay !! Then Michelle negotiated some time off that I needed to take care of a health issue. The family was so wonderful they waited for me ! All I can say everything lined up perfectly. Michelle will always return your call in a timely manner and she always checks in to see how you're doing. I thank God I met Michelle !
