BBSI

So this makes more sense BBSI was who I was hired under as a temp to hire for Harrys Fresh Foods.

  A typical day can vary depending on what happen the night before or if all recipe ingredients are in. The on thing that is consistent is every shift before going in to work and all areas have a group meeting together and in their separate groups of work stations.  I learned how to be more tactful without coming out bossy when I didn't ever intended to in the first place yet others thought different.   

  Management is very understanding and listens to their employees also they always try to find way to accommodate each persons situation within the work hours and supervisors. They are very good at keeping others issues confidential unless the person wants to share personal information to other supervisors. Team Work is strongly shown as the work culture. Always making sure all employees know and follow work guidelines as soon as you apply for the job. Everyone gets the same training and information this is what I really loved about it. Plus if you want people to know your work ethic and who you are instead of mostly judgments then BBSI is the right fit.

  The hardest part for myself was biting my tough with dishonest clicking people and not feeling intimidated to speak up to upper management especially when part of the click was my lead.
  
I had the most fun working when I was Pulling and Returning Product, Organizing, Training people, Learning more things, and helping out with events.

I didn't not mind working there really because i stead to my self and worked my butt off. You just have to have patients. Its seems like the people that have work there longer then you will not show you the right way to do your job until you get in trouble for messing up and they asked who trained you. The leads are making friends with there employees which is fine but if you are not their friend you don't get the right respect you deserve. And if their friend tell on you they wont even ask your side your just automatically in trouble or fired.and not to mention the leads gossip and tell your personal business to your co-workers. Which is not really fair because the people that was getting fire were good hard workers who only got fired because the people didn't liked them.. and they had no reason not to like them, besides that fact that they were working harder and faster then them, and once they got put in a higher position then that's when all the problems start. But how can you get fired for minding your business and doing what your asked. I really wouldn't recommend this job to anyone, unless they really really needed money and had no other choice..This didn't really happen to me, I'm just talking about the things i saw going on there the entire year i Worked there.

I worked at Lamb Weston through BBSI temp. service for 1 year. I loved working there, but Lamb Weston has a policy that you can  only work for them for a period of 1 year through a temp. service, so I was laid off. At that time they were not hiring themselves as it was  a slow time of year for them . A typical day at work would be I worked on the trim table mostly, which is to inspect and trim potatoes as they come down the conveyer belt. I learned how to be fast and efficient, as well as how to work in a factory environment. The management was excellent to me they really liked me and would always request  me for the following day. I was a star employee they would tell me. I was never late or absent from work. I got along with all  of my co-workers and would  go the extra mile to help them all I could if they got behind or had any problems. There wasn"t really any hard part to the job. It was really easy and second nature to me. The most enjoyable part of the job for me was working with all of the people and supervisors, I really could see myself as one of the supervisors if I was give the opportunity.

They talk about "culture" here as if they have the corner market on it but it's just a throw away word that they have used for years. In reality it is an awful culture where people are driven by fear of retaining their impossible to keep up job. They also like to use the term self-managed. They should look up the definition because clearly they are not. It's run by top down by ham-fisted greedy self-serving "leaders". If it's not working then it's clearly your fault. All the departments are overwhelmed, underfunded, understaffed and using outdated and all-most-but-never-there technologies. The CEO is a childish amateur who looks for scapegoats rather than confront his own failures. This is all the way down the chain. Incredibly high turnover (25%) If hired YOU WILL BE DOING THE WORK OF 3 PEOPLE. Complain and you'll be a marked, deemed not a "good fit" and black listed. The company does payroll and have the art of getting rid of you down to an art form. Salary and bonuses are the only plus but cleverly designed to stave off defections. I have seen very good people humiliated and fired based on nothing because someone in the gossip chain doesn't like you. You can do better, look elsewhere.

This place is the epitome of a clown show.  Horrible benefits, highest turnover in the industry, no training at all, low pay, no vacation the 1st year, and no chance for advancement.   Not to mention, the people they bring in don't get a thorough explanation as to how they bonus exactly through this convoluted profit sharing plan that changes daily it seems.  It changes to the disadvantage of the employees of course. The top level of executives are the most incompetent and underqualified group of people in the industry, yet they fly around in a private jet 90% of the time perpetuating this myth of greatness and spending millions of shareholders money on sponsering LPGA events and having inconvenient employee gatherings in Palm Springs that have had absolutely no ROI monetarily or culturally. That said, there are some talented individuals at certain branches that are capable of delivering a nice product, but the incompetence and arrogance of top leadership will inevitably have this talent looking for a new job or going back to their old one. It's a complete joke and do not waste your time with this company, unless the leadership and culture change.

After I finished my community college work, I was approached by an HR manager from BBSI who was looking for positions at IFA Nurseries, a tree farm located in Elkton, OR.  After going through the hiring process, I went to work the following day.  Once there, I started out grading seedling trees.  Although I am not doing much as far as movement goes, I graded each tree based on the guidelines that management gave beforehand.  As the days progressed, I was moved to different positions due to a limited amount of coworkers.  For the first couple weeks, I had to rely on my own set of wheels for transportation, but I was recommended to a reliable coworker to carpool with, round-trip to and from the work site.  He and I got along well and we laid down gas payments and where to meet each morning and I kept my word to follow said payments each week.  Although things got rough on day one, I eventually got acquainted with my position(s) and what needed to be done and I enjoyed my experience overall and was well worth it in the end.

Vancouver Operations Center:

I should have known what the experience would be, when all of the developers who were there when I was hired left within the first few months....

Other than my direct boss, the rest of management was mostly absentee, which was probably for the best, since, when they did weigh in their incompetence was on full display.  New CIO brings nothing to the table.  If you have any other options with your time or investment money, take them.  The organization fails to value the right people because they don't have the competencies to do so, and, more importantly, the actors the board has chosen to overpay to fill actual leadership positions don't seem to care.

I'm sorry I wasted my time.  I felt completely unappreciated, but, didn't see anyone there treated with appropriate respect.  Compensation for skilled technical staff was lacking, and money seemed wasted on the C suite, and contractors who cost more to deliver less, with no knowledge retained in-house.  Adding more "managers" to not actually get anything done seemed popular too.

I would pity the board, but...  why?

I was so excited about working here, then I started. Training is virtually null and void. If you can't figure something out, expect to be told "you're doing it wrong" and then crickets. The team I worked with is rarely available, office time is an average of 3-7 hours per week for most. A lot of finger-pointing, the team complains about clients, corporate, partners, and previous employees that haven't succeeded. We are required to have renewal conversations with clients every year. This office hasn't done so. They fail to see the common denominator which is THEMSELVES! Our clients do not provide referrals, so that tells you how well we are doing. Corporate protects those they like in the field and ignores significant HR issues internally. If BBSI advised clients to run their business in a way that they tolerate their local office to run the business, BBSI would be bankrupt! It has potential, but is a culture of finger-pointing and passing the buck!

We sell culture to business owners. We promise to help them become more profitable by improving their culture, yet our culture is the worst. The wage you are offered when you start is the wage you will make for the rest of your career at BBSI. They don’t pay for professional development.  Their time off package is the worst I have seen in years. They are a publicly traded company, but cannot run consistently. It’s like the wild Wild West waiting for a major lawsuit. They promise business owners that we will help them be compliant, yet they are the worst. Employee files are managed differently, I9s aren’t compliant and are different at each branch, FMLA is inconsistent at every branch, time off practices are inconsistent as well. There are a lot more, but there’s not enough space. I would advise for anyone reading this to reconsider working here. I would also advise all business owners to do more research. How can you trust a company to come in and change your culture of its own culture is upside down?
