I thought they were good. Until I found out they just back stabbed me when Gresham Express called to find out what kind of worker I was the said flakey. I think I deserve a little respect I made over $15,000 last year and $3000 for this Express branch alone. Why are you still sending me out to interviews??? I’m not dumb so guess what you won’t be making another dime off me find another loser.
I signed up with them and had a job the next day..Awesome place
I was lied to about the job description. Thats very unprofessional. They should have double checked with the client about what I was going to be doing.
Efficient and amazing are two of the many words I would use to describe my experience at Express Employment Professionals. I interviewed with Megan and she was resourceful to the highest degree. Although it was a busy day in her office she did not bat an eyelash at assessing my work history and job skills to place me with ultimately the best position I have yet to hold since moving to Portland. After I completed paperwork and the rest of the data intake required to get me into the system I was working by the next morning. They are very reliable hard working people who love working with other like minded folks. Go in with your best foot forward and you will walk out triumphant and with a newly realized career accomplishment.
When Covid-19 reduced the available positions they were supportive and encouraging. They placed me in a position that translated into a permanent position that is perfect for me. The Express team is professional as well as personable. Thank you everyone at Express for a job well done!
I have worked with the people at the SE Division branch off and on for the last year and some change. My experience overall has been pretty positive between the assignments I get and speaking with the staff. Sometimes the information you get isnt 100% correct but that is usually due to the the people they get the information from and not a fault on their part.Honestly as long as you are willing to earn your money, not blame others for stuff, and show up regularly and on time they will do what they can to get you a job you can do. And probably hired on fulltime or whatever your desired hours are. If you are a reasonable, respectful, and responsible you WILL get a job.
13 yrs ago I was laid off from a job I had for close to 3yrs. I was a single mom raising 3 children so I needed a job fast. Express found me a temp to hire job within a few days so when I was laid off again due to Covid-19 Express came to the rescue and was able to find a placement for me in a day. They are fast, friendly and always willing to help. Thank you Express for always being there in my time of need ❤️
The lack of professionalism will be reflected with a response because the typical response of this company is feeling sorry because of how I feel about the company. I was previously with this company in Ocala Florida, and the difference is huge. The lack of professionalism is shown with the receptionist with a short temper when dealing with people who are having trouble with the software and throwing microaggressionss as a response. Making fake promises of a job, instead of being professional and calling ahead to let someone know know they dont have a job available, they make someone drive and waste their time. I am very disappointed with this company and Im rallying a lot of people to give more reviews so people can see the true rating they deserve which is below 3.0I waited 2 months for a job, I called weekly until I was told to not call and that theyll call me, but I waited three months and received a text saying a job is available, they asked me to come in and fill out an application, do a drug test and after waiting 2 hours was told the job is no longer available. They asked if Im good working with Excel, I dont have professional experience, but again Im stuck waiting. Also the fact I called again, told them I was disappointed with the situation and the person got an attitude and told me to call every day to make sure if theres a job available. This is a joke, and it feels that theres a level institutional bias that oozes out of the company.
I joined express employment about a month ago and the person that helped me is Megan. Megan she great and will get you a job at your request. About 3 days later I had a job that I enjoy to be at everyday. Express employment gets a job you want and there program is very easy to get the hang of. Megan is a great advisor ask for her!
What to say about this place its a sub par temp agency in a pretty bad area. So its pretty much what you expect. So 1 star for being predictable.
These guys r the very best as far as Im concerned
Very unprofessional hiring process. I stated with the standard filling out the application and made sure it was very informative so one could read it and have the questions they had already answered for me. The first day Andreas pushes aside my only request for to work a job close by the office and really pushing me to work towards the airport. Im very displeased by him already. Luckily I needed to call back and I spoke with someone else who then set me up for a phone interview (I thought at least) waited and I received a call and the person asked me the same questions as the person who set up the phone interview. On top of that they were all questions in the application. At this point this is my 4th time completeing these same questions 1 online And 3 times to separate employees the. I again had trouble getting to understand my only request of having work nearby my house. Im told that the person will call me back with information on places nearby after they figure out where they are first. They come back with one and apologize saying there might be others nearby Im unfamiliar with which jobs we have at the moment.vthe job was within 30 mins and I was going to accept it, I wanted to check the Gresham office before I commited. They were much more helpful and streamlined it was a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately I wanted the position at the other office. I tried again the following morning to call and accept the job. I was met with more disappointed service. 1 star I wouldnt let them represent my dog. Harsh words but pick a different place.
I went through a career change and Sara the franchisee there took me under her wing. I worked for her as a recruiter and she equip me with all the tools that I need in order to be successful. She also provided professional growth and is a great mentor. Express Employment changed my life as I moved out of the state and was able to connect with one of the hiring managers that I helped fill an administrative position for. The hiring manager brought me on in her organization and it was a great transition. Working internally for Express Employment specifically for the East Portland location provides you with many opportunities to build relationships with hiring managers in a variety of organizations. I owe it all to them for helping me lay the foundation to being a recruiter.
Don’t waste your time, they will have you come in and talk to you about your work. Then said “we’ll call you when we find a job that’s a good fit” this is a flat out lie. I when in a month ago and never got a call or email after the women who I spoke with (Megan Drain) went out of my way to contact her directly and I was still ignored after she told me I was a perfect candidate. All they care about are numbers, if they can’t put you in a job right away they don’t want you.
The owner Sara is such an awesome person! She is very professional and she definitely hires great people that work very hard for their employees. Her staff ALWAYS went out of their way to do whatever was needed the entire time I worked for them. After working my first temp position I wasnt even out of work for 3 days and they already had me back to work, doing something I loved to do, because she knew how important it was for me to get back to work asap. They always searched hi and low for jobs that I wanted and that fit my background, which was a plus. Even though I was hired on permanently at a job I was working through them, I will always consider going back to work for them if I ever need to because I know they will always be there for me. Thanks girls!
I cant explain it, but the Scorpio charm of Megan hypnotized me into writing this reveiw. If you are a Scorpio I would recommend coming in and asking for Megan if possible...just beware of her hypnotic aura.very cool group of girls working here. Sabrina is the best front desk clerk in Oregon, mabye even the universe... I only got to talk to Riley for 4 minutes and 37 seconds but she easily ranks among the best female beings in the Galaxy.The best in our solar system for finding work!If you live on Earth, you must come meet these women, as they represent the best of the human race!Reminder: Megans Scorpio charm is VERY powerful! And her beauty can be VERY hypnotic to the weak minded... Only speak with her if you are either 1. A Scorpio 2. Strong minded 3. Ready to begin work soon!You are warned..
Your team help me find work suitable to my needs in a timely manner. I never felt pressured to accept a position but that all the opportunities out there were being diligently sought out. Communication on opportunities suitable to me was forthright so I never had to worry about it. It was a great experience. Love my new job. Thanks for all of your hard work and professionalism.
Yes! I Would Highly Recommend This Express Location. I Was able to get Placed Very Quickly Due to the Hard work of Express and Andres, Andres Was Super Nice, and Asked the Right Questions to Insure the Right Fit, I am very Content with My New Job, and My Experience with This specific Express Location. Thank You Very Very Much, And If I could Give a Star Rating 10 Stars, The people here Care about Your situation, and Honestly Will Help You. :-)
Awesome place to work! I went in to Express on Friday and was sent out to work on Monday. Super amazing and helpful staff. Would highly recommend.
Ive worked with this Express location for a little over a year and they are amazing. I told them what I was looking for and they delivered. The staff stays in contact with me and is always available to answer any questions I may have. Sara M is over this branch and she has worked with me and my crazy schedule without complaint and for that I am thankful.
This office lacks attention when it comes to time cards,keeping track of employees hrs and the biggest of all having checks ready on payday!!!Come on people do your job!!!Update: this place has not fully paid my daughter for the hrs she worked one week ago plus they took her off the schedule at the place she was working for no reason.She loved the place she was working and they liked her work and want her called back so what gives Express??
This place was a joke. First I was informed per the email they sent This is a professional interview, please be sure to dress appropriatelyBe sure to be on time as this be a good indicator of your reliabilityFollowing the interview, a skills assessment may be administeredPlan on being at Express about an hour to an hour and a half.I was well over 30 min early and was still late being called back for my interview. I dressed appropriately while others wore dirty street clothes with their pants around their knees. I was informed that the assessment would be sent to my email rather than take the assessment while I was in the office and I was in and out in about 5 minutes.I met with Justin, and I was excited about it based on the reviews I had read but was let down big time. He never smiled, hardly made eye contact and never offered his hand for a hand shake. He rushed through our meeting and left me feeling like an inconvenience rather than a potential client.He mentioned a possible job, but I never heard from him after our meeting nor received the assessment he was supposed to send me.If youre looking for a quick 4 hour job, and you dont care about professionalism this may be the place for you. If youre looking for a little extra help fining a career, I would stay clear of Express. There are many other recruiting and staffing companies out there that are far more interested in helping you find a job.
Express Employment in S E Portland gave me the assignment within days of my first contact with them online that led to my present full time employment with a great company and good benefits. My case manager and all the staff were always there to give me answers and direction when needed. Five Stars ExpressKeith H
I likecthe fact that they are very busy at getting people employed temp to hire. But theyve never kept me waiting when I needed help or information on with something. I also like the fact that if things didnt work out with an employer they ask why and didnt hesitate to find me employment in another field Im qualified in. Ive had no problems with them. More people looking for work should look into them if they looking for a permanent job. They do their best at finding local work too due to the fact not everyone has transportation of their own. They are a very very understanding company 😊
Maggie and her team at Express East Portland are phenomenal! They helped me lock down an outstanding job within weeks of applying. I couldnt have asked for better job placement assistance! Since that time, theyve also helped me tremendously with all our company recruiting needs. Express East Portland is a great place to start your career or employee search! Highly recommended!
Absolutely horrible experience that I had with Linda Nguyen. She was excited to bring me in since they found a job that fit my creative drive along with some office tasks that I was looking to gain experience in. When I came in she told me that the employer called her a few days ago saying that they just needed someone for just the office tasks which according to Linda I was too inexperienced to preform... then why was I still asked to come in? Linda was rude and disrespectful and made me feel absolutely terrible and not good enough for an office job. Well the jokes on you Linda because I found myself an even better office job with higher pay and I didn’t have to go through an agency to do so. Just generally unimpressed by the whole establishment, the receptionist seemed very childish and like she had somewhere else she’d rather be. The chairs had weird holes and wear marks on them and the whole place had a certain.... aroma. Take my advice, you’re better than this place, keep searching on your own and you’ll probably find something better and you won’t feel degraded in the process :)
Pleasant experience, Megan is sweet and knowledgeable, great client service, cant wait to work with her in the future.
This Express location has been the best Ive experienced so far! Not only did they get me set up with a job I love, but they have also been understanding of me occasionally not being available for overtime shifts because of needing to be available for my family. Every interaction I have had with this location has been helpful, professional & welcoming.
I got a full time job paying $15 an hr in no time at all the staff was reall helpfull and went above and beyond i already told a couple friends about express
Working for express makes everything easy for me, the staff are super friendly. And getting g paid every week is a good bonus. Really like the job placement they gave me.
I am a CDL truck driver and have used Express for many years now in times of real need and also in times of just searching for a new great job. Carlos is fantastic and everyone there is so nice and professional and really willing to go over the top. If I wasnt pursuing a new career, I would still be using in Express and really appreciate all they have done.
100% positive experience. From application to interview to finding a job. I hope you get the pleasure to work with Christafien because she did a great job helping me find relevant work and responded quickly to all inquiries. They worked their best to find the best fit for me and thats all you can ask.
An easy and employed opportunity. Thank you Express for assisting l with placement.
I am truly surprised that express is currently getting four stars here. After working for them for four years (full time jobs) and making a ton of money for them in the process, I went to school. While I went to school I even referred a couple people to them. After finishing school, I called them a number of times, and after speaking withe the receptionist, who said that they will call me right back, never got a reply. After this I truly got disappointed.
Justin Flintoff was really great to work with. He was very fast with finding jobs that were fitting and also great with communicating through the process. He was always there for support when you need it and will call to check on you during your new position(s). I would recommend going through Justin anytime for getting a good job placing and an all around easy, good guy to work with.
Express East Portland is a team of true professionals who have a passion for finding individuals in their community meaningful employment and helping companies find top talent to fit their needs.
Very prompt, attentive, flexible, and responsive. Linda was very easy to work with, and had a temp assigned promptly to my office.
I love this Express office. They have been great to work with. They got me work right away and are always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this office!
Dannie!!!. From express is amazing carlos is awesome!! They will help you work its just all about if your willing to put the work in. Express is where id go if i needed. Work in portland for suree😝😝
East Portland Express Employment Professionals has proven itself to not be just another temp agency. They called me for an interview within hours of inquiring and now they find me plenty of work thats right up my alley. If Youre looking for temporary work but are wary of temp agencies, I suggest you Give Express a try.
I recently lost my job and checked with Express to see if they might help me find work during this challenging time and They Are!!!
I highly recommend Express for finding your career. Express takes great pride in grooming individuals for professional success. Jobs ranging from office to light industrial and many things in between. Express has working relationships with hundreds of Portland companies and puts people to work everyday.
I met with Justin Flintoff here and he got me to a job within days of my initial application! Now Ive been hired on at a job I love and I have Justin to thank for it! If you go there, try asking for him, he will get you what you need and is very attentive to your needs. :)
This is a great place. The staff are very friendly and super cool. They have helped a lot of people and I believe will help lot in coming days.
Best team working to get me a job fast and great job for me also, I thank Carlos Andreas to get me a job fast really appreciate it.
Express is such an amazing company. The team is constantly working to put as many people possible to work. Great company to work with!
These guys are so friendly and good at what they do! They communicate well, and have a talent for finding you the RIGHT job fit at a place that you might actually enjoy working. I worked with aerotek previously, never again. Express is the place to go.
The crew at the east Portland Office are exceptional. They care about finding work for people, and on top of that work that fits. Christafien, in particular, was amazing through the whole process.
Payroll is incompetent. 50 hr week and they FAILED TO PAY ME the overtime! I started crying and Kayla tried to shame me for being upset and had zero compassion for her mistake! She said she has been doing payroll only a week=what!?! Ive done bookkeeping before and its not that hard to read a time card. So totally unprofessional how she reacted. Kayla has no accountability and should not be in this position if you care about your clients otherwise your temps will quit due to her neglect, she had a terrible attitude as receptionist always scowling, not sure why anyone would want to promote such negativity in the workplace. Her response and I quote was well thats why I work an office job as if to say shes better than the job I work, screenprinting, which is a skilled trade she could never do. There apparently is no HR to advocate for employees, she said someone would call to sort it out by the end of the day and of course no one called. Also, express scouted for me because they couldnt find qualified people for this client I took a chance and accepted this job assuming Id be paid for hours worked, so beyond disappointed with payrolls incompetence and now how can I have confidence to be paid for work??
Very understanding staff, can help you find a job that suits you quick and easy. Highly recommend for new job seekers
Have no complaints!! Recently moved out here and Express had me working within a week. When one job didnt work out Carlos had me on the next job he saw suitable to me....Great staff!
I applied with Express, in hopes that they could be an additional resource for me, in my job hunt, as I was looking for a new job. I had worked with temp agencies in the past, but Express proved to be, by far, the most efficient, fast to respond, and helpful. In fact, I was back to work within a couple weeks! I really appreciate the opportunities that came from working with them!
Express Employment Professionals in East Portland provides exceptional customer service to their clients and provides opportunities for employees in the Northeast and Southeast Portland area. It is truly an honor to help over 300 people earn a paycheck each week.If you or someone you know is looking for work, send them to Express!

They are amazing here. They understand if you can’t do something, work wise and they are always willing to give you advise or put a note in your file about other jobs you might be interested in so they can call you and let you know that they have one.
Express Employment Professionals in East Portland truly care about the associates, clients, and community. As an staff member for over five years, I can confidently say that you will not find another staffing agency with the same level of compassion, urgency, and customer service! Express East Portland is THE BEST!
Dannie was wonderful and got me full time employment immediately.
During my interview with them I was asked to take some computer based tests which I agreed to, however after I was finished I learned that the person I was interviewing with had left without finishing my interview. I was then asked to send them my resume for some jobs they thought I might be a good fit for, several emails later and I have not received even one response from the office. In my case they were VERY unprofessional and I cant currently recommend this office based on how they treated me.
Staff is awesome and was there when I needed help in finding work.
I love working with and for this company!!! Express pros is great! Their entire staff is super friendly, very knowledgeable and very helpful in your process to successfully finding job placement!! Thank you express team for a wonderful experience!!!!
Express is a great company to work for, regardless where you live. I have used them as a stepping stone in places I have lived and they have never failed me. I have used them to fill positions at companies Ive worked at as well, and they always send me exceptional people!
What an amazing company!! Love all of the employees and associates I get to work with each day.
I emailed Sara saying that I wasnt a good fit for the job I am at & would like to try another job out. No response, I applied online for another job that I think would be a good fit & once again no response. I will be checking out other temp agencies. I try not to complain & stuck it out at this job for 1 1/2 months to see if it will grow on me, still dont like it. Still working there until I find another job.
Fast acting employment site. Fast for initial visit, and then the lightning Interview. Now just waiting for a job.
Great customer service I was able to get in and out very fast and was able to get my hiring Process started same day of interview.
I am very dissatisfied with the place. When went there looking for a job a few months ago, the person I had interviewed with was talking at me loudly and impatiently 10 miles a minute like a robot and couldnt wait to get rid of me. I think she is considered the lead there (??!)A very poor communicator! It became obvious to me that she saw that my education and skills( I have a University degree, btw and years of professional work experience) dont match their wearhouse positions that they hire for ( I had no idea!), and so I wasnt a potential candidate who would make them money by being hired. Thus this type of treatment!Now, 10 days ago I asked them for a letterhead to be mailed to me. I called TWICE, one initial call with the request and then the next day a follow-up call to make sure it was mailed to me. I was told they mailed it that same day. Well, its been 10 days!!!!! AND NO MAIL FROM THEM IN MY MAILBOX!!!-- Should I say more??!-- I DONT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL!-- I WILL UPDATE THIS REVIEW WITH THE NAMES SOON!
Great staff, helped me find a position that fit.
Started my first job with ExpressTheyre awesome in terms of helping everyone looking for their career .Thanks express !
Ive been with Express (on Division) since October, the staff and job where I was placed has been a good experience. All jobs and interactions are what you make it but Im glad I chose EE instead of Labor Ready. Theyre professional and respond to emails/calls/texts quick. And they gave out breakfast sandwiches for the holidays! Merry X-Mas!
Express East Portland has great jobs and they find people work fast! I have interned for the office several times and learned a lot of great skills. They are the best staffing agency in Portland.
They do a good job have helped me out many times and in many ways providing the most polite and friendly experience they could.
Excellent folks. Everyone is very helpful, and Justin has been an absolute delight to work with!
Theres a lot of issues going with the girls that work in this place. Issue with getting emails. They have issue with losing time cards. And youll be lucky to work one day a week. Over all. Not a great place to find a career..
They are very, very respectful and helpful people with so much kindness and concerns for others.
I was at Arbor view dental but thanks
They are the worst company to work for and they discriminate against woman, and there pay sucks and when your supposed to get a raise it takes weeks for them to give it even after numerous attempts to tell them about promotion, even though they say theyll go back to when the promotion was given and pay they dont. I worked there months when I pulled a muscle in my chest, the same injury a co- worker sustained a month earlier he was never uaed and was accepted for workers comp getting 40% of his wages paid to him for all the days he took off, me on the other hand when I asked to get help with workmans comp to go to Dr. I was told they would have amr come to my home, evaluate me to see if I needed to go to ER and if not Id be transferred to there clinic to be evaluated, when they showed up the only thing they wanted was a UA from me and feeling I had rights since I didnt hurt myself I was injured due to repetitive twisting and sure to the fact my co worker never had to give a ua so I refused. And than I lost my job Ive had for months they said that the place I worked didnt want me back than told me my assignment ended when it didnt.
Very helpful, Directive and insightful staff especially Emily :)
A very warm, inviting place. Service is quick, and the employees are very helpful.
Express pros helped me get a job I loved the same day I came in to sign up, Justin was so helpful and when I told him what I liked to do an my experience he knew the perfect place and got me hired and started working that same week. Thanks express I still love my job months later.
Hands down the best at getting you hooked up with good paying jobs
Express Employment Professionals have helped my family find temporary jobs for many years. I’m so glad that there are services like these around. Especially when you don’t have a permanent full time job.
Theyll find you jobs that fit your work experience and schedule needs. Plus theyre super friendly and professional. Express Employment professionals rock! 👍👍
The staff is real friendly here and they are willing to help.
I had a good Experience with this Express location. Very helpful in finding a job asap.Justin Flintoff was good to work with and helpful on finding a job for me right away.
Really nice people and they will put you to work I love my team of employees they are amazing and helpful
By far their worst office one person called me and I returned her call haven’t heard from them since I’ve left messages calling about jobs no call backs that’s super unprofessional to not call people back
Not one of the best agencies that i can think of from the top of my head for reccomendation, Northwest staffing & People ready are better.
I love them, they have been very nice and helpful
The staff takes such pride in finding the right people for the right job. Excellent training that keeps people working!
This is more of a question. I was wondering if you guys offer same day pay job opportunities?
They will try to assign you a job you already told them you dont want to do, these jobs are the bottom of the barrel that nobody wants, if you tell them you are Un happy with the place and want a different position to bad. They will send you places where you would obviously start above $10 but tell you that its 9.45 to start. Example= new seasons pays temp $12 unless through express its minimum wage.. theft. Scandle..
Honestly, they are great other than the receptionists. They are rude. Short answers. Not helpful, speak to you as if you are below them and unintelligent. I cant stand it
I called to ask about a job opening and the male representative that answered my call asks for my name so I answer with first name and he answers with one of his clients last name and gives me her Social Security number. I said no that’s not me and you won’t find me because I don’t have a file and he asks for my ssn there is no way I would give it to him said thank you and hanged up! No ethics in clients privacy!!!
Ive been with a different temporary staffing agencies this is best Ive been with.
Got me a great job.
Really helpful with the scheduling and finding relatively jobs
Great place and staff, very helpful in helping people succeed.
They had me a job in less than a week
Showed up early and was kept waiting for almost half an hour after the time of my scheduled appointment only to be told AFTER that they would not give me any work. Do not say you may start a job or may have a part time job with a flexible schedule because they will waste your time and then tell you to come back when youre for-sure jobless.
This is gods employment agency he put this place here in a Christan that says something anyone who wants a life change get your head out of your legs and come here
