Since 2011, Priority one staffing has been there for me and has treated me like family. I can honestly say without the hard work and dedication that this staff has shown me, I would be unemployed and with few options. No matter how many times I come back to Priority one they have my back and for that I am eternally grateful!

I had incident with this company that could easily been settled in professional manner. Instead the receptionist accused me of not showing up to work and was very rude. I called and reached out to Ronnie the owner and she was very indifferent! They also took extra money out of my pay and said it was for some sort of taxes but the money is not reflected on my w2s. This company is not worth the stress and little pay. Stay away!

I've been working contracts through P1 for a decade and have had nothing but good experiences. The staff are excellent with communication, expectations for contracts are always clear, and payroll is always on time. The team at P1 have further always been flexible in working around other contracts or responsibilities I've had.

I got a call about a housekeeping position, did the background check and filled out other forms online. I was told all I had to do next was get a flu shot then I could start that next Monday. I got a call 2 days later from someone name yasmine saying I didn't get the job because they're looking for people with experience. I had asked the person that FIRST called me about the job if I had to have any experience and she told me no because I would be shadowing somebody! A waste of time

Priority One has greatly helped me get my feet grounded here in Bmore. I moved here on a whim and was working a part time gig when I found Priority One. It didn't take long at all for me to find a placement, and I am still working at the gig they gave, 5 months later. Even after I got a full time job, they were flexible enough to move me to part time until I'm ready to step away. Tracy was my point person and has been nothing but kind and helpful to me the entire time.

Shout out to Anne as well for calling me in case I forgot to enter my time for a week (I was actually off) I'd like to thank Priority One for getting me stable and a supplying me with a great job and good skills I could use going forward in my life.

Very unprofessional, was offered a job in their office so I turned down another job, I was told to be at the office at 9:30 by shamone well come to find out I was suppose to be their at 8:30. Previously she followed me outside the day I was offered the job to tell me about her coworker Tracy an how I should watch out for her if I work there because she was sneaky and tries to sabotage people but whole time she was the sneaky one.

I thought Latisha was nice but she had the nerve to tell me I shouldn't have turned down another job and ask me why was a dwelling on what happen, because it's irrelevant. I could say more but I'm not, I should have listened when I was told by someone else not to deal with this company. It's sad that it's always your own kind that chooses to be unprofessional or vet a position and think they are better.
