JobStack for Work: Job Search 17+

Good use

Job stack has bin useful in several ways to me, for one I’m saving grates of amounts of money for something special for myself. I hope to keep having my current job and I am very grateful for it. #people ready and lake shore team and staff. Grate people to be working with.

Designed so that that the company has control over what you can work on

This app is not only poorly designed but designed for the purpose of control over workers just like the business itself. They failed to design the app so that you can call/email the office in which the job is in its area for. They don’t let you find other potential jobs for that day especially if the job is only for half of the day. I find it difficult to look for jobs the next day so that I not only don’t have to worry about looking for jobs right away in the morning but can make plans to get to the job on time the next day instead of having not being able to get to the job on time cause having to look for one right away in the morning instead of focusing on getting to a job in the morning and not having enough to get to the job cause the jobs were not posted early enough to get to the job on time. It should be the first person to take the job not the first person who arrives at the job site first. If there is anybody else to take the job after the first person to take the job they should be a backup incase the person runs into problems or doesn’t show up for the job. I don’t know if anyone will be reading this and makes any sense. To me this is just evidence of a app not really thought out well or not having the kind of people who are going to be using the app to get involved in designing the app or having a test run on the app with people who are going to be using the app.

No idea why this has 4.8 stars

Worked for LaborReady for 12 years. Onboarding took over a week to complete.(EVERY step has to be branch approved) Skills STILL under review. Was told once onboarding was completed and after the in person interview more jobs should show up, complete lie. All jobs are 39+ miles away(and the same ones from prior to onboarding completion), most of which are 4 hour shifts. For the next week and a half there are only 4 jobs showing. I’ve never had trouble getting work from this company, but since they started using the app it looks like either they are slowly going out of business OR the app is broken and Branches are using their old system of first to call to sign up for the day. It also looks like devs in here give you customer service numbers FOR the app and not for the company, soo unless it’s specifically an app problem I doubt they’ll be able to do anything.
