I worked through this staffing company for years. They lied to me and would yank me from a job site right before I was to be hired in. They used me as a "filler", to go wherever they wanted me to go. I would just get home to go to bed and they would call me an hour later to go to another job site. Took extra money from my already low amount checks! Claiming it was for different stuff, like work glasses, gloves, and transportation! I told them I could drive myself and that I already had dozens of that stuff "needed" for work. They never listened and forced me to leave my vehicle in an unwatched parking lot, while I worked. They would tell us all that we had to go in their van to the job sites, or the companies wouldn't let us in. Or even told us that the companies had no extra parking for our personal vehicles. Several times they were late packing us up from random job sites and would blame it on various things. I stuck with them to get the training I needed, then ran and never looked back! They also continue to call you after you tell them, "No thanks" on a job offer. If you don't answer several times, they get an attitude with you and threaten to never send you out anywhere ever again! They are big con artist! That staffing company pays you anywhere from $3 to $8 less than what you should get paid at a job hourly. I can understand them needing to be paid for the contracts they have with various companies, but not that much from all those hard workers!

Welcome to Minute Man where sharecropping is not dead!  Because they are a 'felon friendly" employer they treat their employees like dirt, even those of us who are not ex-convicts.  Because a large portion of their general laborers are ex-cons they don't read well, or know their rights and this further allows the employer to take advantage of them.  I have a regular seasonal job and came here thinking it would be better than unemployment, boy was I wrong! As an adult male the utter disrespect and snide tone of the office employees is so off putting I wonder how they ever got the contracts they need our labor to fulfill.  And as with all temp agencies they take the lion share and leave us the crumbs ie company A pays Minute Man $18hr for a laborer.  The laborer gets $8  and Minute Man takes $10. Would love to say more but my chain gang is lining up to get back to work.  Look for my book on Amazon the working title is "Massah ain't dead! The New Slavery" The reason you don't see massive reviews like this is because the vast majority of the employees lack internet access and the ability to read and write effectively.  I swear I feel like Frederick Douglass.

My day would include arriving early in the morning, signing in and waiting for a job assignment.

Once assigned to a job, there would be provided a map of directions to that job and the time listed to start and finish plus the Person who I am to report to.

Once arriving at the specific job and reporting to the Manager, Supervisor or other Person in Authority, I would be insturcted as to what that particular Employer needed, when the break, lunch and quitting times are.

I would learn how that Company operates and how the Managers relate to their Employees and Temporary Staff.

The Co-Workers would usually be available to answer any qeustions that arise if the Supervisor or Manager was not in the area.

The hardest part of the job would be at the end of the day when it is time to go home and anticipating whether or not there would be a "return" on the time sheet for the next day.

The most enjoyable part of the job is learning how to perform new skills and meeting new co-workers.

That is a typical day at for for me.

To start off, you are looking at sitting there at 5am and then if you get sent out, 6 to 12 hours doing literally mindless jobs and alot of places will send you home if you cant keep up or so I have heard from others. Then you have to push to learn anything, so not a place where you can better yourself, not in the least bit. Management does what every management team of a company does, look in to the branches twice a year and it's not for the better. Co-workers varies from each location, then co-workers on assignments varies as well, so there's no need to talking unless it's steady. The hardest part about minute men is being up at, in my case, 3am and sitting there from 5am to about 8am. If you are consistent and persistent, you will be sent out and paid but it's not money you can live on or even pay bills with. The most enjoyable part of this place is the co-workers you sent out with, the trick to the mind numbing jobs minute men provides is to talk to people who have good work ethics and good attention spans. That makes the day fly by. The place is horrible at best.

Back throughout the years if I needed to work one day or a few months without being hired in, Minutemen was perfect. Now they have changed and made things confusing. They will send you to the wrong job site. They call you to come in and do jobs that you have no training or skill for or in. They want to pay you less money than what you deserve. They switch your job placement without warning and also lose your information from lack of professionalism. I don't suggest this Agency to anyone! It is just not worth the hassle and most workers refer to Minutemen Staffing as a "Joke". A side note that Minutemen Staffing also does not take out for Federal taxes.

I was there at the start of the Minute Men Staffing Youngstown location opening.I first started work as a general laborer , but soon after the opening they got a call for Banquet Servers. Began as one of the first clients for Banquet servers. Waited for the call list. as the orders came in for Servers i came more frquently as a regular. We set up the event based on the F&B order.  Once the event started we mentioned to our clients what our menu was, served them, then cleaned as needed thruout the event.At the ened of the event we tore down the event and prepared the room for the next event..

It pays daily and they have jobs to send you to everyday, you just have to get up and be there early and be ready to go to work before other people beat you to the available jobs that day. The jobs aren't stressful, but a process working up to getting the ticket for work. The jobs are easy and light industrial jobs for the most part, but they have other jobs that are not and require more of you to get the work done. The jobs include: Tow motor, packaging and assembly line production. There are outdoor jobs also.
