I started off as a temp then converted to a permanent employee. Ten years later when that job ended I came back to West Sound Workforce, and I started a new job the day after my interview. The staff is excellent and very kind. I've referred friends and family here. The next time I need a job, they will be the first place I look.

This company from the start has delayed giving me information about the job I was getting started to work for. on top of that they rather have you come in sick and get other employees sick by the looks of it. They will have your position terminated if you call out sick for at least 2 days without hesitation. so if you are sick and are working under their wing I would suggest you just go in sick. Also expect complication with your time card for recording hours, somethings on the line of only half the week showing up, so you cant record your full weeks hours.

This hiring agency will give you all your information at the last minute possible, even beyond the date it was suppose to be done, messing up on several things like your time card and work hours, on top of that they will do next to nothing to help you with your employer, because your sick for 3 days. wouldn't recommend doing any hiring with them or the companies they hire for.

I applied online and went in for a interview. I completed the interview and all the needed paperwork. They never called me back and when I called them weeks later they were rude on the phone. I am a 20 year Navy veteran.

Working for WestSound Workforce was amazing. The site I worked at was also amazing. I felt like family. The online documents you fill out on the employee portal, simple, easy.on line time card. I can't say enough how amazing the experience is
