SOS Staffing

SOS will tell you that Ruger will hire you on as a permanent employee after 6 months and give you a raise.  It is more like 7-8 months and the "raise" is around 25 cents if at all.

They also say you will be working 6 12hr shifts.  You start at 5 10hr shifts and it is up to Ruger how many hours you get, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to how they make that decision.

The highest wages you can get through SOS is $10.50 an hour if you become a CNC operator.  Most CNC operators get $16 to $20 an hour elsewhere.

If you think you will get promoted due to your great work ethic, experience, or hard work; forget about it.  My supervisor had been there 5 years and made a whole $12.50 an hour.  He was one of the hardest working and quality people I met there and he was making half what he could make elsewhere. 

Ruger announced record profits this year yet gave their employees raises way below industry standards; 1.5% to 3% raises.  I saw 6 people that had been there for years quit and walk out in disgust.

Ruger is not a company you want to work for.  They don't care about employee health or injury prevention.  The air quality is so bad inside the plant that several employees wear masks.

And you would think a manufacturer that relies on it's employees physical ability to handle parts would at least have an ergonomics person on staff to make sure employees aren't making repetitive movements that will cause injury.  Nope.  

That explains the astonishingly high employee turnover rate.  If you need to work somewhere for a month or two to get on your feet, it may be OK.  But don't try to make a career out of it; Ruger would rather just use you up and send you out the door.  They know there are a lot of people in the area hurting for any job they can find and they are willing to take advantage of them.

The stars I gave reflected upon SOS Staffing; they are pretty decent folks.

SOS staff people have been great; the pay goes into my account every week and they are always friendly. 

Ruger would get 1 star in every category...

Typical Day:

Arrive early for meeting at the beginning of shift before change-over. Met with person running the line I was assigned for the night. Verbal exchange of line's activities. Cleaned machines. Replaced slurries, tubing, water, and oil buckets. Swept and cleaned around machines. Called machines in to dispatch if they needed to be fixed. 

What I learned:

How to make explosive initiators for air bags. Also, that if you are working for SOS Staffing/Autoliv do not expect to be hired on to the actual company if you can be claimed high risk for insurance purposes. If you are "too much of a liablilty" they won't hire you. But get this: They will keep you working at the same job, doing the same thing, for as long as you want to work for the temporary service. 

Management:

They're okay. Pretty much just come and observe or get people back to doing what they're suppose to be doing.

Co-workers:

Very cooperative. Help each other out to meet quota if possible. 

Hardest part of job:

Trying not to fall asleep babysitting machines until their rotation comes around. Not being able to listen to music to keep you going.

Most enjoyable part of job:

Weekly paychecks.

This is not SOS Staffing as listed above.  We have small groups of people in each department that worked well together as a team when necessary. We were usually working separately as most of our jobs didn't depend on each others. My daily job there was to process the bank deposits checks, wires and ACH that came in each morning. I was also responsible for invoicing our office, Texas and for Canada on a daily basis. I also had to invoice for intercompany memos and if we recevied any payments for invoices to our office for them. I worked with Tricare (government)to process any contract billing on a monthly basis. Communicated with sales on issues with invoice requests and tried to resolve any billing or collection issues or application for special invoicing.  The most enjoyable part of the job was to put together the pieces of incomplete information as it also was the most difficult. 
Management was changed over the last year so it has been challenging. Some are great to work with some not so much.

I would transcribe notes from a recorder from meetings, enter data into the computer for projects that were to be reviewed.

I learned about historical homes and the restrictions that are placed on them. Any changes that the homeowner wants done, including painting, must be approved by Ogden City Planning Department.

The management was outstanding. They were very patient with me while I learned what to do as I was filling in for a fulltime permanent employee who had been in a car accident.

My coworkers were also awesome and very helpful. If there were things I didn't understand she would explain it to me or she would take it to do herself if she had time.

Learning what the job entailed and trying to make sure that I did what was expected of me.

The people that I worked with, the help that I received and the appreciation I received when my placement was complete.

At the beginning of the day we would discuss any changes in our process or work instructions and if there were any ways to help improve them. The work was repetitive and we had to keep up with a high demand, keeping us very busy through the entire shift. I learned how to do simple tasks in an efficient yet quick manner and to help any members of my team if they ever needed it. Management was easy to deal with and talk to. They checked on us numerous times a week to ensure the team was aware of standards and ask about any questions or concerns we had. The overall culture was easy going and hard working at the same time. As long as all rules and standards were followed, there were no problems. The hardest part of the job was learning to do things quick and precise, making no mistakes. The most enjoyable part of the job was we had numerous areas to work so we could do a different process once in a while.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working at SOS.  The collaborative and inclusive culture here fosters a sense of belonging and encourages innovation. Leadership is for the most part approachable and genuinely cares about employee development, providing numerous opportunities for professional growth. The work-life balance is okay, allowing for some flexibility without compromising productivity. Colleagues are supportive, and teamwork is highly valued, making daily tasks enjoyable and rewarding. The company’s commitment to diversity and continuous improvement is evident in all aspects of the business. Furthermore, the open communication channels ensure that everyone’s voice is heard and valued. Overall, SOS is a good place to work, offering a positive environment where employees can thrive both personally and professionally. I am grateful to be part of such a dynamic and forward-thinking organization.

SOS Staffing had me working multiple different jobs while I worked through their company. I gained a lot of experience and knowledge with each job. I worked for hotel maintenance for a short while and cleaned up debris from an old church later on. I also worked for a local company that dealt with sanitation and such. They had me cleaning the main building where the offices were and where the crew ate. I also walked throughout the property and killed and removed weeds for a while. Did a little bit of shoveling to clean a bin out for the dump trucks so they could haul rocks. I got along great with all of the other employees including the bosses. I learned a lot about the field of maintenance. I actually enjoyed walking around killing and pulling weeds, it was nice to be outside doing stuff like that.

A security guard takes on the responsibility of protecting the personnel and concessions of which they are assigned. They are required to respond and act accordingly to a wide range of situations. This includes crime, fire, and medical emergencies. They have to make rounds to ensure there are no issues to be deal with. They will need to know what to contact in the case of emergency. They need to anticipate trouble and be prepared to intervene where their talents are required. They will have a keen eye for detail as it will be the security guard expected to supply needed information to ascertain how reinforcements should respond. Security guards have to be alert, attentive, and vigilant at all times. This is a position that requires a good temperament, flexibility, and quick thinking. When submitting for the wide range of jobs, a security guard resume has to carefully showcase a candidate's skill at all these levels and more.

day started at 8am and ended at 5pm checked messages and returned calls,set appointments for interviews file paperwork and greet new customer with a welcome smile, I've learned that running a staffing company is hard work and how to deal with unhappy customers, the manager of the company would come in once a week  just to make sure things were going correctly the coworkers all walked off the job my second day on the job because of something that has taken place before I have started the job, the hardest part of the job was when everyone walked off and I didn't know where to start so i did all that I knew how still did the filing answering the phones setting up appointments or interviews when i had to leave the office I would forward phone line to my cell. Helping people  get work

I've worked 3 jobs through SOS in the last month. Recent assignment called to say they didn't want me back for reasons I am baffled by. Said I wasn't fast enough, though I kept up with many of the other workers and even surpassed them in speed on one project, getting nearly twice as much done in the same span of time. Was also accused of being on my phone "all the time" when I hardly touched the thing except on break and to check the time every hour...I wonder if the supervisor confused my ipod with my phone, but whatevs...I watched the workers around me constanty texting or showing off photos from their phones. Can't do anything about it. The clients have all the power and SOS won't even listen to your side of the story.
