Notifications are still a major problem with my app. If there’s anything that can be done to revamp or remake this app, it would be great because nothing that has been done has resolved the issues consistently! Whenever you don’t get notifications properly you lose money, you lose opportunities and I’m not happy with that! Please someone in a high ranking authority position that has the ability to make things happen concerning this app please either fix or replace this app with a properly working one I would be greatly appreciative of that. Thank you so much! **Developer response:** Hey there, We’re sorry to hear you’re experiencing issues. We value your input and are dedicated to providing the best possible experience for you.

The notifications don’t work properly and the option to refer workers sometimes doesn’t show anything on the receivers phone. Rate and confirm also had glitches. You have to log out of the app and power your device off and back on and then log back into the app or sometimes your pay will get stuck in the system and you’ll have to call the branch for them to payout. This is problematic! With notifications not working properly you will likely miss jobs! And with rate and confirm glitching you will likely put a burden on the branches if they are onboarding or otherwise busy! I’ve put in several bug reports with no fix or response! I like working for People Ready and when the app is working it’s ok but it’s an ongoing set of issues with JobStack! **Developer response:** Hey there, We’re sorry to hear you’re experiencing issues.

There’s several different branches that staff different types of job from warehouse to cooking. They always CONSISTENTLY PAY EVERYDAY or THE NEXT DAY. That’s something you can always count on. My biggest problem with this company is no matter what job position is posted the pay rate is always the lowest amount of money they could possibly give you on top of wanting people to travel hours to get to and from a job site.. If your looking for something FULL TIME STEADY AND RELIABLE this is NOT the ideal job. ### 3/5 — simple 1 day jobs normally *2022-08-14, version 14.6.0* If you’re just needing extra cash, this could be helpful as most jobs last for a day - though some have FT/PT opportunity. Despite the job preferences I listed, I continuously get recommended jobs I have no interest or skills in which is quite annoying. The past couple of days they’ve been giving last minute job notices (i.e, job starts at 9 and they send a text at 8:40) which is ridiculous. Would personally prefer to just stick to job sites then this app. ### 4/5 — Networking at its finest *2022-01-18, version 14.2.2* Pros:This app makes it no man can ever have an excuse for not being able to work I love this app it is all the connections you just have to pick the Plug Cons: Here at job stack they are very very strict because they want employers to understand that they are professional and only will hire professionals on their teams, therefore too many times of picking a job and not following through with it will result in temporary suspension with the app. Good Luck! ### 2/5 — Long as they like you *2021-10-05, version 14.1.0* The moment you can’t make a job they start forgetting every job you did make and will make sure you can’t find work. I’ve been dealing with having new born on the way so I’ve been bouncing around a lot and working when I can. Not when I’m forced. Nobody works in the office so I’m trying to see what do recruiters even get paid for ? I have zero felonies and I’m 27 years old with over 10 years work experience I don’t need people ready as much as they would like me to. I just want to work when I can and they don’t like that. Fals advertising ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-09-22, version 14.1.0* I am so impressed with JobStack. I was having problems finding employment because I am almost 70 years old and People Ready found me multiple job opportunities the first day and now I’m working and JobStack makes it so easy to keep my finances in order and getting me to the job site. ### 4/5 — Good for those who have other things to do besides work *2021-09-01, version 14.1.0* So far this app has been accommodating to my needs. I wouldn’t say my jobs are super close to where I am but I can usually catch an Uber back and forth with makes things smooth. The next two jobs I found on the app are near bus lines so I shouldn’t have too many problems getting there. I’m planning to use the money I make on this to travel pretty much and reinvest in my businesses. But I also needed something that allows me flexibility. Traditionally your main 20 American businesses want you to weekly work for them. You won’t have to necessarily take a weekly temp job on here which makes like easier for me. ### 5/5 — I would recommend *2021-08-02, version 14.0.5* I love that we have a company like this u can work when u want what job u want u select it ! You in control of what ur work day looks like because you can select what job you want if u to not want something extra between a full time job then this is perfect or even this fits while looking for employment! Or make this is ur employment u get paid same day most days depending on shift and end time but it’s also cool instead of waiting two weeks for a pay or a week after u been there for ur two weeks ! Plus the people are friendly!! Just don’t select a job and not go they won’t be happy ### 5/5 — Jobstack People Ready *2021-06-02, version 12.1.5* Awesome Employer to work for always have your money the same day or next day! Love the company excellent people to work for! I only had problem with one of their contractors at Chagrin Hunt Club fired me as do not return and also downtown Nautica Boat event that fired but other than that! They always have hospitality jobs and motel jobs! ### 5/5 — Lynchburg Virginia office is great *2021-05-12, version 12.1.4* I’ve had a great experience with the people at my local office! Extremely friendly and helpful throughout my visit. Because of Peopleready I ended getting into a career position with a big company. I got in as a production mechanic by solving a problem a mechanic was having and got the interview but I wouldn’t have gotten in the door without Peopleready having the contact. If you are willing to work and put your best foot forward it’s a great place to find your opportunities! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sexually discrimination *2024-03-18* How can you post a job that states can lift up to 50 pounds and then remove women from the job ticket? And state that corporate won’t allow women to work there. It’s a warehouse- last I checked women are permitted to work anywhere a man is. I’ve been removed from two separate job tickets after accepting them thru this app by Cathy in plant city and Lakeland, Fl stating “oh you can’t have this ticket, you’re a female, you can’t do this work. I have to remove you, I don’t have a choice; this is a corporate account.” At first I thought she was joking. Also, why was my pay sent to a pay card when I never authorized for that to be done? I still haven’t been paid for the work I did in January 24. Where’s my work history in the app JobStack? Its empty. Please fix these things. ### 1/5 — Avoid this place *2023-07-20* Too much information to get hired through an insecure app. The staff will forward you to voicemail. You need to wait for recruiter to contact you before hiring, or designate someone to identify you. Bad impression from this company. Lady on the phone seemed very unprofessional, just an “answer and hang up” type of call, but that’s if they answer. It seems they rather hear voicemails than deal with people directly. They look for professional workers, workers with experience, flexible schedules. The clients can request you for a day and say they will need you for a week and suddenly it’s only 2 days. They are inconsistent, unreliable, and they use workers from third party to not deal with anything they should actually be paying for. The clients don’t abide to OSHA standards, and PeopleReady does not support anyone who complains since it’s a common trend with every temp-hire agency. They simply will stop giving you work and you are left to look for work elsewhere. They need you to submit all your hours which is fine because that’s how it’s done. Though, who knows what else you need to do that the staff should actually be doing themselves. The app itself ran quite smoothly so props on that. Sadly the staff itself was the reason you get 0/5 stars. **Developer response:** We take your concerns seriously and are sorry to hear this. Please give us a call at 253-573-5063 so we can help make it right. ### 1/5 — So far... so badd *2022-07-16, version 14.5.0* Have had this app for about a month and a half. Cannot get in to the local branch to finish onboard application. Called for 3 weeks straight got the same Awnser they are not taking new applicants at the moment. Call back next week. They have had no work for about 3+ weeks. Leave your name and number we will get back at you by the end of the week. But nothing. Should i delete this app that has several third party permissions??? Is this app a hoax??? Are the branch personnel out looking for new clients themselves?? Will give it till the end of July then i will give it my final rating and review. ### 1/5 — Lack of care in Austin, TX *2022-07-16, version 14.5.0* Do not work for this company if you live in Austin. I showed up to a job twice and was reassured that the job would occur the second day. After showing up the second day, I was informed the job was cancelled and that my time would not be compensated for. It took me two hours round trip to get to the job site. Complete lack of care for my time. Not only that but I didn’t pick up other potential jobs because I was committed to this one. I just started working for this group and this is the second job in two weeks that I have been screwed over on. ### 1/5 — Horrible Company to work for *2022-07-09, version 14.5.0* This company has went downhill fast. Dispatchers play favorites and give the good paying jobs to their own family and friends and lovers . They have bad attitudes and can do whatever they want, so they don’t treat workers very well. They’ll adjust things on the backend of the app to only offer certain people the undesirable jobs that are the furthest distances(30-50miles away). You don’t always get paid when you’re told or expect to, they’ll hold your pay for no reason, other than to be spiteful towards you, but will pay everyone else that worked the same shift as you and have you calling and begging them for the money you’ve earned while they ignore your calls for days. Wonolo, swipejobs, veryable, instawork all are better options with less stress . You’ve been warned ... ### 1/5 — Bad company to work for period *2021-12-31, version 14.2.2* Complete waste of time I wouldn’t recommend to anybody..hard to believe these guys are still in business …the jobs will give you a start time but not a finish time…most jobs Are not what the description says..all jobs don’t leave a call number so call if anything happens you’ll have to call the branch and if this happens be ready to wait over an hr and a half for a answer..be prepared to show up to a few jobs and get turned around because they have already sent enough people out you’ll be promised show up pay but will not receive it..this app or it’s people don’t not care about their workers at all avoid the hassle and go to another app not worth it at all .. ### 1/5 — PeopleReady is a Scam *2021-12-12, version 14.2.1* PeopleReady is NOT a company that allows the worker to choose from all jobs available. The post jobs to this app that they choose for the worker. The worker can choose if they want the job. Sometimes staffers will post jobs in the app that are deceptive and do not disclose what the real job is. For example, if you take a job thinking you’ll be doing janitorial work and when you arrive you discover you’ll actually be moving and lifting heavy objects. THEY WILL AND DO LIE about what the job is on the app the to get a worker there. STAFF WILL AND DO ABUSE COMPANY RESOURCES BY REMOTELY ACCESSING AND CONTROLLING THE JOBSTACK APP ON YOUR DEVICE!!! Use caution if you choose to download this app or work for this company! ### 1/5 — Worst app ever invented. *2021-09-21, version 14.1.0* After reading other reviews it goes to show most of them is from the staff of the company that uses the app. I however am not an employee nor do I chose to be for the simple fact I used this app for the company as a day labor & after accepting a job offer then having to let the job go due to an family emergency I have been blocked from using JobStack & can’t seem to get the block removed. The company picks & chooses who uses the app & how they want to run it. The company keeps sending text messages to except a job on JobStack but sadly it can’t be excepted because I have no access to the website. Plus as high information about this company they aren’t allowed to hire family or friends into the company but every manager post’s on their Facebook, Instagram & Snapchat about jobs they have & if anyone is interested they will pay a little more if they take the job which if the pay more for friends & family then they should pay the same amount to everyone else. But say a company is willing to pay $15 an hour for light duty construction clean up, this company pays the laborer $9-$10 per hour but you still pay $15 per hour. But then this same company will pay someone else the same amount to do very extremely heavy lifting of debris. Which is garbage. Beware of this company when hiring people. Craigslist is some much more better then this company ever could be. ### 1/5 — If you want to work, there’s no excuse not to *2020-08-22, version 11.4.9* I’ve experienced racism in the West Valley City office... steer clear of the old white lady who sits at the rear desk. My rating reflects the entire company of (People Ready,) only because they hired her. The company is actually a great place to work but one bad apple spoiled the bunch. Please get rid of her! I live in Salt Lake City UT, so I really don’t expect much from this state when it comes to prejudice. When it comes to job placement, it’s plentiful. I really dislike giving you guys one star because like I said, “It’s only one bad apple.” I repeat... please get rid of her before you guys get a lawsuit against the company. ### 1/5 — Notifications haven’t worked for months. *2020-02-01, version 11.1.0* The app would be great, if it worked correctly. Used this app for a long time without issue when suddenly I noticed a single badge notification that refused to go away, even after reinstalling, so I submitted a bug report in app. Never received any type of response but after sometime I noticed the badge was gone, but, and here’s the kicker, I no longer receive any notifications from the app whatsoever. I have tried everything under the sun to fix this, from reinstalling the app to factory resetting my phone. I’ve submitted a bug report this as well, but still have had no response. I’ve even contacted Apple Support and after exposing the situation, was told the fault lies the app/developer. Without notifications working properly I can’t respond to time sensitive alerts before they expire, I don’t get notified about job invites or new work in my area, this is literally messing with my livelihood, I hope somebody fixes this soon. PS. Jobs saying “so and so ONLY, all others will be removed” is also a huge issue, as well as being removed from tickets for no reason, or whatever BS the office tells you, like the above, or they claim you don’t meet the criteria, when jobstack shouldn’t even be showing you jobs like that. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — People ready Communication skills and my life situations *2023-08-28* I chose this app not for just a reason but it’s a good way of getting money yuh know opportunity and I’m well known of all situations and not from just experience this app is good app because it’s crazy I did talk to a good good women that works with people very well with a good soul and ready to work for Devon the first day I talk to this man name I forgot lol but I was really up on my phone the whole night while I was sleep and it was like I was getting treated like a slave off the road like Cotten so rn I feel really disrespected from Devon Gibbs to peoples ready **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to leave us feedback. We’re glad you’re having a great experience with JobStack! ### 5/5 — My experience. *2023-08-09* I’ve been sent on a few jobs that I’ve accepted and so far they have paid me o time and daily. But I do have one concern: The Start Time only states the Start Time but not the End Time. Or even give us a certain amount of time in a day to work. Example: Could work from 5 to 7 hours or 8 to 10 hours daily. Because I do have a full time job as well. That will help me a lot to determine weather I can take more jobs or not. ### 5/5 — Be professional *2023-02-16, version 14.9.0* when sent out on a job, be professional and help the supervisor fill in where the help is needed. make sure you get good reports and give People Ready a good name. so that the people at People Ready at your local branch know what kind of job tickets to put on your app so you can always find a day to work and get paid the same day so you can count on working when you want and count on the money you need to survive. ### 5/5 — Current employee *2022-12-14, version 14.8.0* People ready is an awesome company they work with your availability which is awesome for me working around kids and another job it as been a great experience and when you think all the jobs are gone keep checking your app something is going to show up thanks people ready also when you call the office very professional ready to answer your questions efficiently😍 ### 5/5 — Wonderful App! 5 stars just minor change or two *2022-10-16, version 14.7.0* This app is great! I cannot say enough about it. First off, I work with People Ready in Fayetteville, NC and they are amazing! So I guess it helps that the real people on the other end of the app are so friendly, professional, and a joy to deal with. One change I would make is that I would like to see the app show how many workers each job needs. My fiancée and I like to work as a team and it’s just helpful in us planning, with one car, if we work together or how to coordinate transportation to 2 separate locations. With that said, approximate hours of the job and/or ET of job end would be helpful. I have seen this information posted on other job apps. The other change I would make is to be able to expand in mileage radius. Sometimes I would be willing to take a job in South Carolina because I have family there. I could take a job then head to visit them upon completion. So that’s about it…I love the People Ready app! ### 5/5 — JobStack - Daniel Padilla *2022-10-06, version 14.7.0* Finding work has never been easier, thanks to JobStack. It is so convenient, and very simplistic in regards to determining on which job works best for me on any given day. The simple ease of getting daily assignments for the right amount of pay, and the fact of getting paid at the end of every day, is what I love about JobStack. I’m not sure if it could get any better… Thank you JobStack/PeopleReady. Daniel Padilla ### 5/5 — My idea *2022-10-02, version 14.7.0* Its a reliable source for money some jobs are far but not all it’s a waiting game at times for the right job but this app is definitely worth trying out it keeps you with a busy work schedule at moments, You can works days you want and get paid sometimes that very day, Remember don’t let the job work you, you can work the job. . . ### 5/5 — The Overall worth of this app. *2022-07-20, version 14.6.0* This app is excellent to manage your work life balance. Being a new user of this app, and this type of work scheduling, It would have been perfect if the app had more details as to the tools you would need to have on hand before going to the job site, along with the amount of hours you will be working for each job. Nonetheless this app is worth 5 stars, hands down. ### 5/5 — Top five favorite app *2021-11-28, version 14.2.1* One of the best apps around if your looking for great pay and a good job you have chosen the right app for that matter no hassle at all you simply put your information where it directs you to and pick your line of work and how far your willing to travel and that’s it when you finish work go back on the app toConfirm your hours and you get paid instantly after that! I recommen this app to everyone looking for a fresh start and seem to be down on their luck hard work does pay off especially when you get to pick it at JobStack ### 5/5 — Michel Bonenge review *2021-11-20, version 14.2.1* A first impressions of the app is that it works so 5 stars. The staff helps all the time I’m making more money a week than I have ever done before in my life (23year old btw) no college degree. I’m gaining skills for jobs I would normally not be able to find on my own and broadening my skill sets by being challenged to learn and adapt to new things. Not the app for you if you prefer office jobs. Definitely the app for you if you want to make big bucks with basic skills as long as you work hard communicate and show up on time and are willing to take instructions and follow them and get the job done. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
