This is by far the worst, most parasitic company I have ever worked for. This is a company that preys on employees by offering "staffing solutions" to large companies, undercutting wages and allowing companies to not provide benefits by labeling everyone as "contractors". They are enabling companies to misclassify workers, and are in complete violation of Common Law Employment guidance.
Allow me to enlighten you on some of BCforward's "benefits" that they'll provide you instead of the company you will actually be working for:
- Outrageously expensive healthcare you'll never be able to afford because you'll only be paid about 40% of what is considered median wage.
- Fractured systems that make employment information about as transparent at a brick. Do you like having to email someone and waiting 48 hours to find out how much PTO you have and then just take their word for it? Then boy, you sure are in a treat with this company. Profile information, benefits and paystubs on the same account? Don't be sill! BCforward gives you FOUR different sites to use all with separate login information for you to keep track of!
- Have a parent die and you want to attend the funeral? Well you better get moving then because BCforward only offers two days of unpaid bereavement leave. Don't be late or you may find your contract terminated!
- Did I mention the wage yet? Well you certainly don't have to worry about EVER having to negotiate your pay, because the great people at BCforward will do so on your behalf! You see, BCforward is in the business of providing companies with GREAT staffing opportunities! And what makes staffing solutions greater than cheap labor?! Rest assured, with BCforward you will receive the absolute minimum possible for your role, with zero chances for raises, and that will assuredly devalue your resume and career prospects for years to come. :D
- You can also expect to work every single Holiday with no pay or any extra incentives because you're "'contractors' remember? Teehee!"
Again, if you EVER see this company in any part of the application, interview or job offer process, avoid, avoid, AVOID! They and the companies that use them know full well how bad their reputation is and will hide themselves until the very end of your job application.
If you are currently working for them here is my advice: RAISE YOUR VOICE! File your S-88's and contact your state workforce commission. What BCforward is doing is not okay!
