JWilliams Staffing

-Many times you will not get a call for months and when you do, it's maybe for one or two days in an undesirable area. It's almost as if they give all the great places away to the people who have somehow kissed up to them to get on their good side and when a gross complex comes around, they think of you.

- If you are a minority, they will place you in the hood, tell you it's a nice place and the complex is a "good fit for you", especially if you are placed somewhere in the Inland Empire. The non-ghetto places are in the O.C where they are headquartered. If you decline any of these places where your car could very well be taken any hour of the day, they act as if you think you're too good for it and cop an attitude.

- They are VERY quick to blame a temp for any misunderstandings and treat you as if you are disposable, using manipulative language to get you to do/say what they want. If you stand your ground, even in a nice way, they see it as a threat.They want for you to take blame even if something was clearly their fault or someone at the property's fault. We all know in this terrible working world, people will step on toes and ruin lives for their own benefit, even if it means making accusations against a temp because they know their side will be taken. A temp is JUST that; a temp, and JWilliams will treat you as such.

- Many of the Appointment Setters were not friendly at all. They have a very insincere approach and sometimes I have heard them laughing or taking long pauses to answer questions as if they are thinking how much of an idiot you are before responding. 

- How did they have enough money to move into the nice, new sparkly building? By paying their temps peanuts, of course!

I have several years of new home sales experience in New Mexico, since 2003. When I was considering moving to SoCal  I was told that a Real Estate temp staffing company was the way to go.  I first worked with RE Temps and wasn't getting enough work.  I made an interview appointment with Temps Plus in Corona and was intercepted by the recruiter for J Williams Staffing and was immediately hired. 

 At first getting, work was a bit slow but it quickly escalated and was working almost full-time hours.  I stayed very busy in the summertime but it was very sketchy hours in the winter.  

My takeaways are that the builders or assignments aren't really looking to fill any openings.  You are a fill-in or replacement or assistant for salesforce, period. There is NO benefits, vacation, or holiday pay.  You NEVER know when you're going to work unless you have an ongoing assignment and then you don't know when that will come to an end so you can't do any real financial planning.  You are on call and usually called at the last minute so it's difficult to plan your life because you don't know if you're working or not sometimes. 

 If you are wanting to look for work in sales with a builder, Apply directly with the builder or look for a referral through someone you know.  This is a dead-end street. 

 Management is horrible and nitpicky.  No encouragement only negative reinforcement.  If you make a mistake at one of the assignments sometimes you don't hear about it until weeks or months later and then you're trying to remember who and where and they won't tell you who the builder or what the specific incident was.  It's the worse kind of work.

I am still currently working at JWilliams.  I really do enjoy being able to go to different builders and be in different communities.  I especially enjoy meeting/greeting potential buyers and the existing sales staff.  The big downside however is that so many times you can wait several days for an assignment.  I have been fortunate that I have been requested to work at several different communities.  The work though is very inconsistent and what amazes me is that JWilliams is consistently hiring and yet, you rarely will get an assignment.  I think the reason they consistently hire new personnel is because they do not give raises.  That is the most unfortunate part of this job.  This is a very professional position and you are required to be in complimentary business attire.  Unfortunately with this pay rate it is difficult to maintain a wardrobe that is satisfactory.  You are also expected to work a lot of weekends which is OK for some but again is difficult when only making $12/hour.  Over all I do love my experiences at the different communities but the salary is not conducive to the professional work environment that we are hired to work at.  Funny thing to, JWilliams increased their rates for the builders but the temps that do the jobs do not get an increase of any kind.  That's just not right.

Entry Level Staffing Agency with Temp Assignments; If you have never worked temporary assignments through or for a staffing agency this is a adjustment; But if temporary assignment allow you the flexibility to balance your life with work this is a perfect environment to jump-start a new career in the Real Estate industry gathering experience with a leading contender in that industry Builders. New Build Housing is the fastest grow arena in the Housing industry.  
The drawback include entry-level pay for entry-level work. non-standard work schedules including majority of assignment "day of."
And like most temp assignment forms of work occasionally there is a lack of available assignments.
Also with each assignment the environment and cultures varies according to the client but work duties are consistently similar for smooth adaptation.
Scheduling staff is pleasant to work with and quickly learns the flexibility of your personal situation as well as your personal preferences.
Payroll staff is efficient and well organized.
Treat every assignment as a job interview and possibilities are unlimited.

I worked as a temp at an apartment complex in San Rafael, and started on a Monday.  The reason, which you may want to consider checking before agreeing to a job, is that they had no community director and basically no staff in the office.  I was lucky to have some guidance initially, but the first couple of days was full (I had no leasing consultant experience) of people with issued about their rent (current tenants) that had sort of been accumulating from errors that had occurred since the community director had left 3 months ago.  Rent issues, complaints, the county pool inspector, plus there were calls coming ng in from interested tenants and thousands of unread emails.  I tried my best to resolve the tenant issues and there were other issues like with bank check deposits.  I ultimately decided to take a different job after they figured out they needed staff who could use the Yardi system which only authorized employees can use, so they cut me to Mon and Fri only and it just wasn't enough.

A typical first day at a new assignment meant arriving at a property I had never been to before and, with no training or instructions, I'd give tours to prospective clients. It was fun but challenging, as I never received a tour myself prior to selling the amenities, etc. Since J Williams is a temp agency, my assignments would only last a few months at most. J Williams management was a little shady, I was verbally assaulted by a resident at work and they did nothing. When I was between  assignments and applied for unemployment the company lied and said I'd quit. I'm still employed by technically, I never quit. It's absurd. The hardest part of the job is when coworkers who are regular employees treat me as though I am somehow less than, excluding me from employee appreciation events, not allowing me to receive the bonus for successfully leasing to leads and claiming it for themselves. The best part of the job is working in beautiful communities, meeting interesting people while touring. The pay is great, but they don't have consistent work to offer.k

Jwilliams Staffing as a corporation is a structural nightmare. HEAVY on miscommunication, and management is NEVER on the same page. They promise to have a great company culture, open communication, here for learning and growth. However my experience was the COMPLETE opposite. I was poorly trained for my position, then overloaded with an insane amount work expected to be done in 8 hours, due to this company (ironically) not staffing their own agency properly. They lack a communication structure that works for all employees, and plainly the many higher level managers are toxic. It is sad to see lower level employees actually try their best to make the office environment comfortable and welcoming, then actually witness the CEO criticize an environment they put no effort in creating but will publicly claim as their work. Disgusting. 

JWilliams needs some serious work on their structure, and community as a whole. Please do not consider working here unless you want to be burnt out from attempting to balance yourself with all the amount of work, plus work with people who do not know HOW TO COMMUNICATE AND ACT PROFESSIONAL.  



I was unsure which job route to take with my new CA real estate license. So I choose new home sales assistant with JWilliams. I felt unsupported and left to figure things out alone. No respect for new agents, no training during work days. You sit at a desk for 8 hours and sometimes guests will come by. You only have as much information as the agent leaves behind for you. You work completely alone. It can feel scary when showing homes in a vacant neighborhood and my safety was never considered. Without proper training it is unlikely you will land a permanent job with any builder. The new home industry is not kind to new real estate agents. Pay is weekly and on time, but very low wages and the driving time and commute cost can out way the pay. Each week is unpredictable with schedule. You are unlikely to meet anyone working for builder in order to network and possibly get a permanent job. I appreciate the job for the time I had it while I searched for a new and more permanent position elsewhere.

JWilliams Staffing is incredibly professional from start to finish. They value their job candidates , and will do everything in their power to ensure you receive the best opportunities. After 2 months of doing various assignments for builders J Williams sent me out to, I am receiving a job offer to work alongside the same sales agents I shadowed. I came to work did my part, and now JWilliams fulfilled their promise to me by ensuring I was set up to succeed. 

I am all about good business, and thats exactly what JWilliams Staffing does. Keep a positive attitude, live the part, and you will succeed. Keep open minded through the process, sometimes a great job takes time. They will advocate for your success.  

I am on track to sell the new communities opening up with this builder come Fall this year, and this opportunity would have not come my way if it werent for the help of JWilliams Staffing. Thank you!!!

Working as a leasing agent with J Williams Staffing was a strong overall experience. The team culture was supportive, and management offered consistent feedback and encouragement. I appreciated the company’s streamlined systems for handling applications, rent collection, and maintenance requests—everything was very process-driven, which made daily tasks more manageable. The training program was solid, providing a good foundation for learning property management tools and customer service protocols. That said, the workload could spike during peak leasing seasons, and at times, it felt like there wasn’t enough hands-on support during high-pressure situations. Compensation was fair, though advancement opportunities seemed limited unless you were willing to relocate. Overall, I’d recommend J Williams Staffing for those looking to get a solid start in property management. It’s a great place to build your skills, especially if you’re self-motivated and can handle a fast-paced environment.
