TradeSource, Inc.

I worked for Tradesource on and off for twenty years. I've seen a lot of  recruiters, managers and workers come and go. The flexibility is what is good about it. Pretty good pay and benefits too for a staffing company. However, the last time I worked for them a few years ago, I got hurt on the job and got on worker's comp. They would ask me ocassionally if I was ready to go back to work. When my recovery was done, I told them yes and as soon as I was off the insurance checks,  all of a sudden they didn't have any work for me at the busiest time of the year. ???  Fast forward a few years, after getting laid off from a direct hire job, I inquired with them again. I spoke to their Master Electrician and had a good conversation with him. Now a month later, nobody has answered my calls or responded to any of my attempts to contact them. 

Many different jobs and different companies. A lot of prevailing wage jobs. $58-$70 an hour. Matching 401k. Group insurance policies. Most of the time working with very good companies that give you many opportunities to advance. They will place you where you're needed the most and if there's certain things you don't know you don't have to do them. You can take time off if needed. There is no strict policy for that. If I ever needed a vacation which I never took I would be able to take one. Management is very courteous and very caring about your needs. It's actually a wonderful company. The Company is in RI but I usually worked within 30 miles. Only worked in RI Once but it was $63 per hour. 

The work was good (When there was work).
Once a job is finished you will not be working for three days up to two weeks. You’ll have to wait for the manager to find work and call you. They will not keep you updated. No holiday pay. Benefits suck. The pay rate per hour was good. But that doesn’t matter when you’re working less than 40 hours a week (Typically 28). You’re not allowed over time too. I do not recommend this place. 

Management caters to certain brown-nosing individuals as oppose qualified seasoned applicants! It would suffice to give workers everything needed beforehand to perform the tasks at hand in a timely manner and ability to acquire documents needed to perform tasks.  

Working all over the place you get a lot of experience in a short period of time. You have to be able to adapt to different atmospheres and be able to travel. The pay is good most of the time and if you don’t like where you are you can relocate. 

I started out as a first year apprentice electrician. Great place to work if you’re just starting out as a tradesmen. Management are good people and will have your back if you are a good worker. Must have a vehicle and willing to travel/ commute an hour or more to stay busy. 

Best all around company to work for. Not all job assignments are the best, or ideal. But you got to take the good with the bad in this business. I would recommend working for this company to anyone.

Good place to start if you’re hurting for work, but not a good career choice.  You are a disposable temp worker and will be treated as such by most companies who source workers from Tradesource.

Great company to work for never had a problem BUT.....like any typical staffing company it's not consistent and when job over you don't know when you going back out too another job site 

good pay, not alot of work todo if you wanna stay busy year round. office staff was nice and helpful. Only issues where time off and the wait for any holiday pay,
