Shannon from express had reached out to me about multiple jobs. Anytime I text her back or even called back. She would ignore my phone calls. She offered a job and when I filled out all the paperwork that was necessary, she ghosted me. I would not go with this company unless you really love being ghosted. If you try to call in and ask for anyone else’s help, they will immediately send you back to the person who ignored you in the first place. The behavior is so rude that it is uncalled for. what’s funny is she keeps texting me that she has jobs available even after I told her that her behavior was uncalled for and I wanted to speak with someone. There are much better job employment places that don’t treat you like you are nothing.

Dear Stacey Snodgrass, General Manager of Express Employment (high school) “Professionals”! I give you one more attempt to stop criminal behavior of your personal that harasses me for over a month just after one my appearance in your staffing agency after it was required by Opportunity Council and Worksource (particularly I don’t like to work with staffing that I clearly explained you in my texts). I would like to caution job seekers considering working with this agency. During my experience, I encountered practices that raise serious concerns about transparency and compliance with fair employment standards. In particular, some actions appeared to conflict with the principles outlined in RCW 49.44.050, which governs fair dealing in employment-related representations. Job seekers should be aware of potential risks and take steps to protect themselves. I strongly recommend conducting all conversations with the agency in a verifiable format — for example, using a voice recorder. In Washington State, it is advisable to obtain consent for recordings, but if you believe your rights may be violated, you may wish to consult legal advice regarding your specific circumstances. It is always wise to keep a record of all communications, agreements, and job offers in writing before signing any documents. Transparency and accountability are essential, especially when dealing with third-party employment agencies. As for jobs particularly this branch is looking for unskilled, low skilled general labor for a local (Bellingham, Ferndale) food industry. UPD. That’s exactly what I was talking about — a brilliant example. I have never completed onboarding with this staffing agency. I simply walked into the office, handed them my resume, and was refused. I’m not even in their database. They decided to have some fun and started sending me fake jobs. When I completely ignored them, they began calling me several times a week, demanding to know why I didn’t respond (especially Keeley Patrick). For the record, I never accepted any job in Blaine — I don’t drive and don’t own a car, so it’s not possible for me to get there. If they believe I accepted that job, I give them permission to post a phone screen or text message where I explicitly said “yes.” I asked about a job in Custer — they kept harassing me with calls and texts for over a month — but that position never appeared online. Eventually, they forced me to go to the EEP office, only to tell me there was a job in Ferndale with IFDF — a company I had already visited in person two months earlier and knew quite well. So yes, this is a misdemeanor, ladies. I’ve saved all your long and bizarre messages on my phone — just in case. Either you don’t know who you’re calling, or you don’t know what you’re doing. Again: record every conversation with them. It will come in handy. Because the main girl handling communication in that office — Keeley Patrick (who only has a high school diploma) — doesn’t even understand that her treatment of job seekers qualifies as criminal misconduct and could be grounds for a formal complaint to the Department of Labor. RCW 49.44.050 is a law that states that any employment agent or broker who misstates or misrepresents verbally, or in any writing or advertisement, any material matter relating to the demand for labor, the conditions under which any labor or service is to be performed, the duration thereof or the wages to be paid therefor, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. UPD2: After posting this review yesterday today – April 23, 2025 – I received a new text from Keeley Patrick with fake jobs. I clearly required her/agency to stop texting and calling me. If they proceed – I will file a complaint with a local police department and Department of Labor.

Express is an awesome resource for job seekers. I recommend them to everyone I know who is looking for work, whether you’re new to the area, want to make a change, or have hit a road block in your job search for whatever reason. They’ve been a part of the community for a long time and have a lot of great relationships with companies in various industries. Whether in person or on the phone, they’re all really nice, treat people with dignity, and display a lot of integrity. Special shout out to Shannon in office services who has helped me more than once—you’re a pal and a confidant!
