From my experience, and it hasn’t been long, the recruiters at ROI are desperate to find workers. At least operators like myself. I got calls from them three different times in 2 months, and on the third time I actually had gotten laid off. So I started working for them under the impression that I’d be working on a four month contract doing environmental work. Not only did they not accurately depict what type of tell me that it was radioactive work - the job I could tell was only going to last maybe three four weeks at the rate I was getting it done. I even expressed this to them and they told me they’d have something else lined up after the company they had working for let me go. I had faith because they sold it well, and I didn’t look for myself on top of it. Bad mistake. I’m now several weeks out of work and struggling to find something when I gave another company up in the first place to work with them. And since I’ve stopped working with that first company, they don’t call me every freakin day anymore like they did before checking up on me. Despite supposed great reports from the employer, they haven’t found me anything else, despite it’s what they do, and basically they just used me for some position they hadn’t been able to fill, and now they don’t care. Unless you’ve got thousands set aside for situations like this in the dead of winter, I’d advise you to steer clear. 

I did not have a good experience going through ROI for permanent work. There description of the job was not close to the actual requirements. I was looking for a job to keep me active and on my feet. Currently most of my time is spent sitting waiting in my truck if I’m working at all. Was told I could easily get 50+ hours a week and have been struggling to get 35. Also after the first few weeks I told my recruiter I was not happy and would like help finding something different. I reached out for 6 months and never got a response or help then had to sign with the company because I had no other opportunities that would pay all my bills

I really don't have any negative cooments about ROI.
Sometimes the assignments were further away than normal(2 hour commute each way), but that is how the construction business works when assignments are limited at times.

I truly enjoyed working for different clients and if wasn't a good fit for either myself or the client, then a new assignment was found.

This company gives you the ability to see different job sites and work with different companies.  The management has been good with communication and finding work.  If you are a good worker you have the potential to be hired full time by one of the companies.  I’ve heard of some people getting burned with this though (worked for a year then let go instead of being hired full time).

A typical day at work was very hands on and required employees to work diligent and safe, I've learned the logistics of the work and how to deliver great service in a timely manner. The workplace culture had a good atmosphere while working with people from different races and origins. The hardest part of the job was my commute. the most enjoyable part of the job was to see the job completed in the order received with satisfaction.

This company doesn't respect the employees and it doesn't provide accurate information about what job you will be doing. This company underpays and will not accurately keep track of your hours. Work with this company at your oen risk. This company doesn't have consistent work but they will lie to you daily. Not worth the stress if you have a family to feed.

ROI is a good place to start in if you want to get your foot in the door with most of the building trades. I have networked with some really good people through my temporary employment at ROI. While ROI introduced me to some really good companies they also introduce you to some bad ones and management at ROI is not always that helpful. Career advancement within ROI is virtually non existent.

Roi is a temp agency that does not offer any sick days good health insurance pay days off vacation time or holiday pay if you need a job for the time being it can be a great experience and allow you to get yourself in order but not all the companies really care to hire you or actually give you a real chance for any advancement

They told me they had no work because I squeaked about that lack of professionalism between them and their customers.  They have nothing  to offer but a pay check every week. The Insurance is useless you pay for absolute nothing insurance. Then had the audacity of being mad at me when I'm out there In The field filling their customers needs. 

A normal shift would consist of coming in & getting prepped (dress) in a plastic suit. Work would include anything from cutting down damaged insulation to sweeping. I'm a very outgoing person so getting along with my co-workers wasn't a problem. The roughest part of the day would be the heavy lifting. The most fun during work is away being with someone & interacting with co-workers.
