LaborMAX Staffing

I recently had a six-year-long tenure with LaborMax Staffing, and my overall experience has been nothing short of disappointing. 

No Clear Direction from Management: Throughout my employment, there was a noticeable absence of clear and consistent direction from management. This lack of guidance made it difficult to know what was expected of me and hindered my ability to perform my job effectively.

No Feedback, Good or Bad from Management: Despite my years of service, I received no constructive feedback from management. There was a complete absence of communication regarding my performance, which left me feeling undervalued and unappreciated.

Political Motives: It appeared that certain decisions within the company were motivated by political considerations rather than merit or fairness. This created an atmosphere of favoritism and mistrust among employees.

No Loyalty: LaborMax Staffing exhibited no loyalty to long-term employees. My six years of dedicated service were completely disregarded when my position was eliminated without explanation.

Dishonesty: The lack of transparency and honesty within the company was glaring. The abrupt elimination of my position and that of my daughter, without any explanation, felt like a betrayal.

Lack of Integrity: The company's actions and decisions lacked integrity. This eroded trust and made it difficult to have confidence in the organization.

Lack of Structure: LaborMax Staffing lacked a structured approach to employee management and development. This absence of organization had a detrimental impact on employee performance and morale.

Alienation from the Team: I often felt alienated from my colleagues and the larger team due to the lack of communication and direction from management. This sense of isolation was demoralizing.

Broken Chain of Command: The chain of command within the company was dysfunctional, which resulted in confusion and mismanagement of various aspects of the organization.

Underqualified Leadership: It was evident that those in charge were underqualified for their positions. Their lack of expertise and leadership skills contributed to the toxic work environment.

Toxic Environment: The culmination of these issues created a toxic work environment that made coming to work a daily struggle. Morale was low, and the atmosphere was laden with frustration and disappointment.

Elimination of Positions Without Explanation: The final straw was the unexplained elimination of my position after six years of service, as well as my daughter's position in a separate role. This abrupt action, without any justification, was a clear indication of the company's disregard for its employees.

In conclusion, my experience with LaborMax Staffing has been marred by a lack of clear direction, feedback, loyalty, integrity, and structure, along with a toxic work environment and the sudden elimination of positions without explanation. This company has a long way to go in terms of improving its management practices and employee treatment. I would strongly caution anyone considering employment with LaborMax Staffing to think carefully about their decision.

One of the standout aspects of working at LaborMax Staffing is the genuine dedication to employee development.

Very hectic and extremely inconsistant workplace. Management will say one thing then do another.  I was promised a raise at 90 days on multiple occasions. Then when the time came it was denied not due to my performance but the company's lack of sales.  There is no set training process and what little training you do get is rushed through just to get you thrown into the job.  Then when "procedures" aren't followed you get thrown under the bus before you can blink.  Upper management refuses to give you the tools you need to succeed but are quick to write you up or fire you for lack of sales. The turn over rate for both management and account managers is insane.  There is no company bonus package for the account managers just whatever the branch manager decides to give you out of their own pockets.  Upper management is cold hearted and hateful.  They "motivate" by yelling and humilating employees in front of their peers either on conference calls or through company emails.  More than once I was asked to lie and falsify documents. To cheat temp workers out of money wherever I could. And just tell the customers what they wanted to hear to get them using.  They claim to care about their employees and customers.  Honestly it just felt like we were all temp workers and everyone was disposable.  Account managers were never allowed to get more than 40 hours which left the branch managers working way too many hours and getting burned out. Whatever made the owners and upper management money.

In Colorado, 90% of their business is Flagging (directing traffic at construction sights) / General labor. So in cold or bad weather, the "day labors" will not get jobs since construction is not running during bad weather. People working at LaborMax (the staff)  do not need to worry about a higher education. They have had staffing in management positions with no more than a 10th grade education (drop outs)  
With a turn over rate at 150%. Yes, there is always room to advance, since keeping a job with long hours and with the constant threat of being fired keeps the turn over going. 
Great rewards in putting people to work when you can. Since there is no real requirements to be a "day labor" employee at LaborMax. Two forms of ID and no sexual offences (don't worry, they don't check).  They will hire homeless and ex-cons at a drop of a dime. (So gangs members and people with theft charges or drug issues, this is a great place for a second start) They recruit at shelters and where they can find people down on their luck. The pay is always low, but its daily for the day workers.  
Honor and integrity are by far "NOT" the norm. This starts from the recruiter and upper management and goes down the ladder. Its a staffing company with no moral compass in Colorado. Only speaking on the 8 current locations here in Colorado. 
Don't take my word, please talk to the staff, go by a watch the bad behavior by staff and the day workers at the locations.
But every now and then, you can put someone to work and change someone's life, if even just for a day, that is the reward.

It's a staffing agency, so they try to help place you in positions that will best suit you based on any skills/prior experience/knowledge you may have or what interests you. If the company likes you and you do well there is a chance you can be hired on through the company. The only downside is that you'll have to work on a contract through LaborMax for up to so many hours or until the company pays off the contract "in full". 
You do get paid weekly while working at LaborMax which is a plus for those bills! You may want to look for a job on the side while working here. Just make sure they don't have a contract with LaborMax or else they'll make sure you they get their money's worth out of you. I found my own position through searching before I was aware of this and  LaborMax got a whiff and when I said I didn't want to work for them anymore they said I couldn't quit them and then held onto me for nearly a year longer and held me back from a nearly $4 raise since I had to work under a contract for them for the company that wanted to hire me full-time. 
But they did help me in prior years when it was hard to find a position during the Covid years and for that I was very appreciative. Sometimes people need this sort of help for other reasons and they're definitely there for that without outward judgment.

Provided that you are dependable, showing up when you have agreed to work, and appropriately perform the work expected of you, LaborMax is a great service to work for, giving you the flexibility to work when and where you choose at a fair wage. 

The staff will work with you to accommodate your special needs (i.e. I don't drive so difficult and time consuming for me to get to the office for time sheets. We text photos of them and I save hours of taking buses and waiting for buses or using costly car services.)  

Additionally, if you have factors such as legal history making it difficult to get a chance to prove yourself to an employer through paper applications, LaborMax gives you the entre with an employer to show that you can be a contributing and valued asset to their business, being judged on performance rather than a cold background check.

They pay promptly through direct deposit either to your bank account or a prepaid card or will furnish a payroll card for wage deposits. 

One of the primary reasons this job is unbearable is the lack of support and guidance from management. Despite efforts to seek assistance and clarification on tasks, I consistently encountered indifference and unresponsiveness. This absence of leadership made it challenging to excel in my responsibilities and contributed to a sense of frustration and isolation.

Additionally, the workload and expectations associated with this position are unreasonably high. The sheer volume of tasks, coupled with tight deadlines and minimal resources, created a perpetually stressful and overwhelming work environment. This unsustainable level of pressure greatly impacted my mental and emotional well-being.

Furthermore, the workplace culture within the organization is toxic and demoralizing. There is a pervasive sense of negativity, gossip, and micromanagement that erodes morale and diminishes the sense of camaraderie among colleagues. This negative atmosphere not only undermines productivity but also fosters a sense of disillusionment and disengagement.

Overall, my experience in this role has been nothing short of disheartening. The lack of support, excessive workload, and toxic workplace culture have made it an unbearable and unsustainable environment in which to work. I sincerely hope that my feedback serves as an opportunity for improvement and positive change within the organization.

The old pitch & switch.. calms of job openings.only to tell you "we have some contracts pending we will call you if anything come available". But wait! The posting said you have job available in my trade? This is just a sham to get your information for their taxes.. I took a screenshot of ad and posting and showed it to them. The lady didn't know what to say.. which is when I decided. Maybe this isn't a company anyone should work for. A relationship based on a lie is unhealthy. Suggestions to job seekers avoid this place in Oklahoma. Don't let them trap you into signing paper work proventing you from going straight to the company that actually has the work. And that why tell will not tell you know what other companies are hiring. If the only hires through them. You don't want to work for them anyway. They only want cheap labor. Not skilled, not knowledgeable just Cheap! That means they are not going to pay you what the job actually should and labormax sure as heck will not fight for your wages. Cause that is how they get paid. The lower wage you accept the more money they get.

A typical day at Labormax for me would start at 6am I was in charge of finding work for temporary associates, sending  temps to work and cutting checks to pay employees out at the end of day or at the end of the week. While at Labormax I learned how to do payroll how to e-verify employees to make sure that they were legally able to work in the United States an I also learned how to promote and sell myself in order to bring new business to the company. While Working at Labormax I learned that persistence is a good thing but advancing quickly is a bad thing  I was promoted from account manager to branch manager within 2 weeks of being with the company but was later fired because a district manager felt her position was at stake because I was advancing in the company too fast. The hardest part of the job was being able to multi-task, you have to be a great multi-tasker to be successful at this job. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to help people and make a difference in their life.
