Peak Peaps

The first gig I had with peak was stupidly simple, to say I and the other temps were overqualified and bored to tears is an understatement but the money was good and I was desperate. Ever since then I’ve only had work with one type of job with only one contracting firm from out of town. It’s retail and construction, great learning grounds and good people to work with, they can be cliquish and rude but that’s because they’ve got a job to do and have to spend time telling you how. It’s a great gig but frustrating especially because you never know where you’ll be working or who with, sometimes not til the last moment, and sometimes they will send you quite far from your home base. Also there appears to be no way to find records of jobs worked, get verification of income, pay stubs or anything other than the contracts and addendums you sign. If you ask inconvenient questions or point out inconsistencies in how your recruiters manage you, well let’s just say they won’t retaliate but they will withhold jobs to ensure quiet compliance. I have not taken a couple of full time positions with companies because of long term addendums they’ve given me for convenience, where I don’t know for the next few months what my schedule will be, made worse by the fact that due to the way they select temps for the jobs and what I mentioned above, they will take you off of a job at the end of the week or lie to you about there being any work in your city the next week. If you keep your mouth shut and toe the line, do the work fast even if you don’t know how, don’t leave early or show up late or no show, be willing to learn, flexible, and be able to arrange transportation or drive yourself wherever at the drop of a hat, then the jobs I’ve been getting could be for you. Idk. They have to have more contracts than just the 3 I’m aware of, but shrug emoji. Above my pay grade.

They do give some people a chance to enter work again, but it is not employment.  It is a gig.  It is a one time job where you can work for a few days and get paid as long as you show up and do work.  Afterwards, you realize you were hired because the main company that was hired for the job was full of hateful, bitter people that talk down to people who are there to help them short term.  People that were good workers end up quitting from 2 hours to 2 days into the work week.  They are upset because you haven’t done their job for 15 years and don’t know it backwards and forwards, and they will speak to you in a degrading manner. Everyone is just trying to pull through their hours to earn enough to pay their rent or other bills. Nobody deserves to be treated poorly when they are trying to work with a new crew every single time they show up to work.  The people that quit aren’t always bad employees.  They know they are there to do hard work and they know that they deserve respect. Dealing with such an argumentative, controlling, condescending work environment is not in their best interest.  Be aware of the pay rate that is in the job post. They will try to pay at a lower rate.  You will only be paid the correct rate if you bring it to their attention.  Their job post is deceptive and they are counting on people being desperate for work and willing to take anything they can. Don’t let them do it to you.

They sent us out in Utah to remodel a Walmart, initially it was smooth, it was only a temp job but they had told us they had another job lined up when that one was done, which they didn't, nor could I get a hold of anyone to find out any info, it was aggravating to say the least, but while I worked it was good, I loved the work, I loved the boss to but he was from another temp company, we basically just remodeled Walmart pretty straight forward stuff, and they didn't pay bad either, just wish they had done what they said,

Decent pay, back breaking work. The pay isn't enough considering it's untaxed, so you'll owe money come tax season. Very inconsistent work. You'll have a full week or two sometimes, then be told there isn't enough work and forced to take a week or two off. Not a reliable job that you can count on to pay the bills. Management is useless and doesn't respond to any messages. The coworkers and supervisors are mostly chill.
