Pirate Staffing

Went in applied for work with this company, While I'm sitting there I hear other workers for "Pirate" explain to others that completed their application before me what they needed to do to be placed on the work list (in full detail)... I finish my application turns it in all I'm told."ok we start calling tomorrow for jobs" I'm like uhhhh ok.... kind of threw me off,  I was ready for the whole "We text jobs, what kind of work are you seeking open availability speech" that didn't happen, so the following day I called to see if there was work available.   Immediately I'm told they place people in jobs that they are familiar with so keep calling in until they get familiar with me. I was like huh..?????? So I received a text concerning a job.  I called in to accept the job,  the individual said "do you mind working in the heat" (No) "do you have a clean background "yes" steel toe boots "yes" she asked for my telephone number an said, I'm putting you down for the job, but let me call you back, I'm the only one here in the office an the phones are gonna go Crazy, I got cha down an I'll call you back to let you kno where to go. Ok good enough, So I'm amped up. I go buy newer steel toe boots and some work things I would need while I'm working in the sun,  I get up this morning called to see where I needed to meet. An was told the positions was filled "Huh" so I explained to the Person over the phone what was discussed prior an all she could say is Okay, an ended the phone call.  
Pretty rude unprofessional  attitude.... After I was told I had the job... I was just calling to see where do I go for work.... (Shrugs)

I’ve been working here for almost a year and honestly, I just want to leave already. The way they treat employees is terrible, so beware. If you think you’re applying for a CSR or recruiter job, don’t be fooled, you’re basically a telemarketer 24/7. Every day I had to take calls and push companies to sign with us.

When I first started, I was doing amazing and I was considered one of the best, but the moment business slowed down, suddenly I was “the worst.” The truth is this company and the managers only care about sales and money. They will literally scream in your face and treat you horribly for things completely out of your control. Like, if no one is hiring, how is that my fault?

There were so many days I went home crying and devastated from the treatment in the office. And it’s not just in the office, the daily calls are brutal too. People on the other end are mean and yell at you, because let’s be real, we’re basically bothering people every single day. I’ve had people scream at me to take them off the list.

This place drains you, beats you down, and makes you feel worthless. If you’re thinking about working here, save yourself the stress and run the other way.

My job include transporting other co-workers who need transportation
 to the job site,
My Job assignments very in length.
The clients that request our services range from Warehouse, to
 Construction, Demolition, unloading and loading furniture as well
 as cartons, cleaning Storage facilities, spraying Pesticides, but
 involves mostly lifting and cleaning.
I have served clients in the San Gabriel Valley as well as the coastal
 cities including Hollywood, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Manhattan
 Beach, to as far as Hermosa and Redondo Beach.
Patience is what I have learned, now days others take some of the
 transporting responsibilities.
Managing to unite and get to the proper destination on time ia a
 good challenge.
In time you get to know those who you work with, companionship
 develops after a while.

Management was very opinionated and did not have a professional demeanor. He smelt like he did not wear deodorant. He would get angry at people and customers. He would get upset about people not properly training themselves at the job.
I was the fastest to pick it up in the 2 months that I spent there. If the co-worker doesn't like you for any reason even personal or if you intimidate her by your work performance and knowledge you will not be working there for long.  
I trained myself to do that job with no help from co-workers who have been there the longest. 
The hardest part of the job is trying to make your co-workers happy so you could feel like you had some sort of job security.
very high turn-over rate.

This company has great opportunities to offer to the current job seekers, but I don't feel they really know what they are lining their temp-to-hires up for with some of their clients they are hiring for, as I was placed only once but the client they sent me to work for had me bouncing around like a ping pong ball because even they didn't know what they wanted me there for. I feel that Pirate would really benefit from fully understanding what their clients are looking for, so that they are sending guys out into the work force only to be bounced around with no real idea as to what they are supposed to be doing, as it is highly frustrating to never know where you are supposed to be until the last minute every day.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at Pirate Staffing is flexible schedule.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part about working at Pirate Staffing is not knowing until the last minute when their are bad weather conditions.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is smooth, consistent and open-minded.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day would include 8-10 hours of work, and if time permits helping some of my team members to ensure quality results for Pirate Staffing.

I am currently an employee at two temporary agencies. Throughout my duration of being employed by them, I have to do everything from shipping and receiving at warehouses, doing general labor, to security work. For me to have successfully completed assignments in these fields, I have to be highly adaptable in the workforce, which I already am.

My typical day at work was great , long hours , very hands on and at the end of the day a great paycheck every friday. I learned to communicate and work as a group and be successful I n doing so. The management was very informative and hardworking ,also very organized. Co-workers were very helpful and always did their part.
The hardest part of the job was working long hours and then having to commute back home. I would have to say the most enjoyable part of my job was working long hours , I definitely enjoyed the good paychecks every Friday.

Each day is always something new, or something new to learn about. If you have an open mind and a willingness to get things done. You can really have a great time. Management is really on that goal to help you at any means they can. If you want the work and have a great attitude about it, they will keep you fed. The hard days can come when they send you to a location that really doesn't uphold any standard of decency.

No work-life balance what’s so ever. Corporate has no idea what really goes on in other districts and branches. 
The chain of command is placed as part of a company’s hierarchy. Therefore, by breaking the chain is simply undermining the authority you want to give your managers. This company lacks professionalism within management, and should consider investing in proper training. The nepotism in which the chain of command indulged is especially inexcusable. Therefore, conflicts of interest will create negative impact on the workplace.
