Tacoma, WA

Former Employee – worked at TrueBlue full-time for less than a year

ProsI worked at corporate as a temp in the legal department. True Blue could be a great place to work if they got a handle on office politics. The people are great to work with. I got caught in the crossfire of office politics. My red flag should have been my first day when I was told my upper management that they all love to gossip. If you just want to go to work and get your job done, I'd steer clear of any citrate environment. My biggest advice would be to keep your nose clean and don't get caught up in the politics. The people really are great though. They pay decently and management is eager to help you develop your knowledge base. It would be great for an entry-level legal professional.

ConsPolitics
Gossip
Too many outings - distracts from work

Chicago, IL

Current Employee – been working at TrueBlue

ProsMany job opportunities across the US. Variety of diiferent jobs throughout the company, including jobs that are promoted from within the company.

ConsCurrently unstable work environment. Company is "top heavy" with management staff. Temporary labor jobs are very susceptable to local economy, causing job loss through branch closures to be very common in the cuurent job market in mosr areas of the country.

Advice to Senior ManagementDownsize upper management, upsize branch and field operations staff. Many branches are undetr staffed, creating a situation where we don't have the resources to get the work, but we need the work to keep the workers. It seems a mystery to many field staff just what some upper management people actually do. Don't cut back on the essentials in order to keep the expendables.

ProsTrueBlue provides any level of challenge you desire in a professional position within IT. Every opportunity is given for individuals to explore other positions and opportunities within the organization. They are leading the way in there market segment and continue to embrace new and emerging technologies.

ConsAs with any IT oriented position the hours are not consistent. Also, due to the pace and rate of growth the organization is experiencing change requires a significant investment in off hours work.
