Report
The staff is very rude all except the owner. The staff just sits at their desk and stuffs their faces with food. I was at my appointment there and when a nice older gentleman walked in because he was having trouble with the laundry facility that they also manage next door and thats when 2 women that work there rolled their eyes and said they dont have to assist the gentleman and told him to get out!! Right after that happened I walked out myself because they were very rude and unprofessional towards that guy!! They shouldnt be stuffing their faces with food when someone asks politely for

Great business that has helped many people over the years. But the company founder is a bigoted homophobe. If this is the kind of people you want to help you this is the company for you.

I have been working with Beacon Staffing for over two years. They have found me work every time I needed work. They followup when you call in and they keep you informed on the work schedules. Good group of Ladies.

Beacon Staffing has been there for my son and daughter. They were able to put my college age children to work after they graduated high school. We looked for different are jobs that would have them making money to support themselves to at least live at home and have their own money. But, there are none out there for them, so we heard about Beacon Staffing and tried them. My children have gotten experiences that they would not get at fast food places. They took care of them, gave them a chance where they got hired on with in months of starting. Thanks Beacon.
