This is a long review, but I feel like people should know about my experience. I wouldnt go back. The staff was friendly, but the whole process was frustrating. My frustration started when I found a job online and I called to apply, I was told to come in for an interview. I got to my "interview", but I was surprised to see it was not an essential oil company, but a staffing agency. Already annoyed that this wasnt mentioned to me, I went in still hoping for an "interview" which never happened. It instead turned into a 2 hour long meeting telling the staff about myself and what kind of jobs I wanted and them teaching me how to apply for a job, which I was perfectly capable of doing on my own. So after being led to believe i was there to be interviewed with an essential oil company, and it instead turning into a 2 hour waste of my time, I was told that I needed to revise my resume to company standards for them to send my resume off to companies. First of all, my resume was helped written by someone who is a PROFESSIONAL in the writing and job industry; has a masters in writing, and is a published author. Clearly, my resume was very professional but the staff I was with refused and refused to send it unless I revised my resume to company standards (which was downgrading my resume from what it was). Me being even more frustrated, I agreed because I had no choice and down graded my resume to their liking. The staff I worked with assured me that I would get the job now because of my new resume, even though I had a hard time believing that since my resume was very professional, and their resume standard was just some average joe resume. The staff said the companh would now for sure give me a call. Oh and guess what? That company nerve gave me a call. Cant say Im surprised. Wasted two hours of my time, and two more hours of my time down grading my resume since they refused to send my professional one, all to never here from a company I didnt apply for to BEGIN with. Ya, so I would never go here again. Its a great place if you dont know how to apply for a job and if you have no idea how to write a basic resume. But if your like me and your confident in your ability to find a job and your confident in your resume, avoid this place if you want to avoid some serious frustration.

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. This is beyond one of the worst staffing agencies. Theyre all very unprofessional, unorganized and rude! Every time I called in I was given an attitude and a short unhelpful answer to my question(s). The company Express set me up to work for was absolutely horrible as well. The first paycheck I received I noticed I was being paid a dollar more than I should have been, I instantly reported it to my manager at the "Provo Processing Center" and she then called Gaye (an employee at Express) to get it fixed and changed. It took EXPRESS the whole three weeks I worked for them to get it fixed. Which therefore means every one of my checks had a different amount deducted. Its frustrating when your check isnt consistent. WE ALL HAVE BILLS TO PAY. I shouldnt have to suffer consequences for someone elses lazy mistake because they could not double check their work. On top of that when I was let go from my job, Express didnt even know about it until I came into the office and asked for my last paycheck. Which they did not have and when I asked why they didnt have it I was given this response from Gaye "Because we cant just pull money from our ass". LITERALLY THOSE WERE HER EXACT WORDS! Gaye told me I could call John on Monday and see about getting an advance. I spoke with him and every question I asked it seemed like it was a burden for him to do his job. All I was asking was how much the advance would be if I were to get one and I also asked the total NET amount of my check because of HOW INCONSISTENT it had been. Every response he gave me was with an attitude. Im definitely going to be calling corporate to make sure I HAVE BEEN GETTING the correct amount. Its ridiculous how rude ive been treated in the short three weeks I was with these guys. NO MATTER HOW DESPERATE YOU ARE FOR A JOB, DO NOT GO THROUGH THESE GUYS! Theyre not trust worthy with your pay check and they really dont care whether you succeed or fail. Youll end up going through more hassle and havoc than you would just looking for a job on your own.

I HAD THE WORST EXPERIENCE WITH THIS COMPANY. At first john the boss was extremely nice. I was homeless and needed to get a place and he was more than willing to throw me 300 bucks as long as I worked a job that he needed covered really bad. He took me to the interview, even bought me lunch and took me to an appointment for housing I needed. I worked the job and when I started notice my wages being deducted he said it was a loan. I didnt fight him much, I was very grateful to have a place, but when when I called out a couple weeks later they harassed and harassed me, saying I was faking, that called out too early, (I had the flu, to early?), and got and was told I would be terminated if It happened again. So I decided to find another non temp job and afterword texted the same guy who helped me with 300 dollars and told him I had a better offer. He texted me back stating that I owed him and hed get me back, and that fate was going to punish me as well. Next thing I know I am getting my last check with my hours jipped and my wage cut. I am currently seeking help but when you are just out of being homeless and broke what can you do. I worked for them almost a month and when I found something that didnt require me to be harassed, walking alone at 2am in the morning, and something I have experience in should not cost me wage, and if you are going to help a guy out with a deposit, make a signed payment plan with him, and dont take money out of my check when you feel like it. He never attempted to contact me about repayment once, just assumed. My roommate also went though them and they called 23 times in one day because he refused to take a job the severally needed taken. This place sucks, and they are con artists.

POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS BEWARE. Express sent my invoice (with everyones hourly wages) to my temp instead of me. Then the owner, John, disclosed my private communications with Express to my temp-to-hire executive assistant. And when I called to speak with John about it, he deflected, refused to be accountable; and when I told him that he has no right to disclose my private, confidential conversations to my employees, he went ballistic--he became snarky, made personal attacks, and told me to never call him again, hung up the phone on me, and called my assistant and told her that he was terminating her employment! John subsequently sent me an email stating that I should find another staffing company that is more suited to satisfy the needs of my company. If you are looking for a company that has integrity, owns its mistakes, and keeps confidences, you better look elsewhere for a company that is better suited to satisfy your needs.
