Pros

- Finally focusing on better technology - Brand recognition in Southern California - Some very friendly people in the organization - Refresh of brand

Cons

The reality of Eastridge is that the company is very far from its glory days (in terms of revenue). The latest attempt to turn things around involved rebranding each division as Eastridge Workforce Solutions. At the end of the day, this is a family-owned company, and this is non a place for someone looking for a long-term career. Management sings a good tune, but people are completely expendable here. The owner is about doing everything on the cheap, the benefits aren't very good, and I just wish they were able to see how their words are out of alignment with how they actually treat people.

Thank you for your feedback. As you know, one of our core values is communication and we truly value open, respectful communication. Our purpose is to provide opportunity and enrichment through work. I do feel bad that you are not experiencing this at Eastridge Workforce Solutions, especially after 6 years. With specific feedback, we can always do better. I would like to address some of the comments in your review. Regarding revenue, we are proud to be #1 for 9 years straight in San Diego according to the San Diego Business Journal, and we are once again a top 100 staffing firm according to Staffing Industry Analysts. We also expect to hit record revenue in 2015. Regarding your comment on our company doing things on the cheap, again, we can always do more. But, we are proud of the significant financial investments we have made in our rebrand (including a new website, office signage, business cards, marketing material, and more), new VoIP communication system, new applicant tracking system, new Vendor Management System, and more. We are also proud that in the last year we hosted our first annual all-employee conference for 250 employees, are hosting our first annual company-wide sales conference in March, planning our second annual all-employee conference in December, added an additional paid holiday, doubled our referral bonus, and on the day your review was posted, announced a significant enhancement to our 401(k) program. We are also proud to have launched a company-wide incentive program and based on the final results, we will either be rewarding an employee $25,000 or perhaps (likely) a brand new TESLA. Also, you mention this is not a place for someone looking for a long term career. Perhaps we could have done a better job of communicating those who have been promoted in the last year. Here is a small sample of internal promotions in the last year – Operations Manager in Cerritos, Operations Supervisor in Anaheim, Operations Manager for Safety and Workers’ Comp, Branch Manager in Mira Mesa, Director of Operations in Mission Valley, Marketing Manager, and our CAO for Workforce Recruitment. With a Glassdoor rating of 4.9 out of 5, your review certainly indicates a disconnect and we truly want to help. You have an open invitation to speak with your manager, our HR/Legal department, President, or CEO so we can discuss how we can help meet your expectations or otherwise provide you with opportunity and enrichment. -Seth Stein, President, Workforce Recruitment

Pros

In my 25 years in the staffing industry, I never thought there was a company out there that shares the same core values and love for the craft as I do. When interviewing with our CEO, i knew within the first 5 minutes I wanted to work for him and his company. #LOVEMYJOB The workplace culture is like no other I've ever been in. Their business model is truly built for full collaboration among all divisions with an open door policy by all management. To have our CEO mentor and collaborate with our internal staff is priceless! If you're of a 9-5 mindset then this is not the place for you as one of our core values is "do whatever it takes" to get the job done and meet both our candidates and client needs. We all work hard and play hard. If you're seeking to work for an organization with heart, commitment and transparency then Eastridge Workforce Solutions is the place for you!

Cons

Would LOVE a desk side massage once a week...just putting it out there! LOL!

Pros

Management team treats you like you are family. They are always asking you how you are doing and coaching you on things you want to improve on. In this business, you can experience a roller coaster that can scare you or a roller coaster that can make you laugh and smile through good day's and bad day's...the Newport Direct Hire Branch is a fun roller coaster to be on! The opportunity to cross sell other lines of business is what I look forward to. One stop shop to create endless workforce opportunities for both the clients and the candidates we represent!

Cons

This is a fun challenge. My team is loud and fun so sometimes it can be too loud but for me, I learn to adapt to this challenge and work around it.
