  This is my first and last experience with PeopleReady. I was assigned my first job this morning and it was cancelled an hour before it started. I called and spoke with Shannon who was very short, dismissive and rudely hung up. I do understand what she was saying but I am not going to deal with unreliable and rude management or whatever she is. Either she is the owner or her dad is because that is not how you talk to people.

  A worker was sent to a 4-hour orientation at a local factory through PeopleReady. A name badge was issued, the full orientation was completed, and they were then told they would not be hired and would not be paid for their time. When PeopleReady was contacted, the representative stated it was "not their problem." Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, orientation time is legally compensable regardless of hire outcome. PeopleReady has already settled a $9.6 million class action lawsuit involving approximately 13,700 workers for failing to pay for required orientation sessions, the exact same situation described here. They were court ordered to fix this practice. They clearly have not. TrueBlue Inc., PeopleReady's parent company, has accumulated over $14 million in penalties across 74 violations since 2000. This is not a company making honest mistakes. This is a pattern of preying on workers in financial need and counting on them not to fight back. Complaints have been filed with both the federal Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division and the appropriate state labor authority. If you are considering using PeopleReady for work, know your rights before you walk through that door because they are counting on you not knowing them.

  People reading in Nashville are very childish. And are very hostile to talk to. Got up at 6 o’clock this morning to go to my job site was on my way and because I had a dead zone I could not answer my phone. They canceled my shift on me even though I confirmed it the night before on the app and this morning on the app and it’s for a company that has requested me and only me to work for them and nine times out of 10 because of that and stating that I was gonna call corporate, they’re probably going to try to suspend me even though they had no consideration or compassion that sometimes there’s just no foam service to take their call even though all you’re supposed to do is confirm on the app. They were calling me before 7 AM to confirm the shift while I was driving so please beware of people ready in Nashville.

  I am posting this review to request corporate attention regarding my experience at the PeopleReady location at 408 Royal Parkway, Nashville, TN. On 2/1/26, I declined a job assignment because the rate of pay did not work for me. After declining , 2-10-26 I was removed from an entire week of work that I had already booked and confirmed. Shortly after that, restrictions were placed on my account, and my local office was changed to a different location without my request or consent. When I asked about the office change, the branch manager, Shannon, told me it was done by the other location. However, when I later spoke directly with Josh at that other location, he stated that they did not make the change. This conflicting information made the situation even more concerning and unclear. In addition, every time I contacted the branch for clarification, Shannon’s attitude on the phone was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. I believe these actions were taken in retaliation for declining a job based on pay, which should be a worker’s right. This situation directly affected my ability to work and earn income. Anyone working with or considering working at this location should be aware of the risk of retaliation for declining assignments. I strongly encourage PeopleReady corporate or Employee Relations to review how this branch is being managed.
