Ed, a retired Air Force veteran has worked with All Star Labor & Staffing in Bend, on and off since 2004. Ed’s relationship and work history with All Star speaks volumes to how the Bend branch maintains and supports relationships with employees while they are trying to find their forever job or as we call it, their “home”. Ed has been a temporary worker, hired on full-time with the company 3 times! His journey started with temporary assignments including day labor, painting crews and major events at the fairgrounds. The first one that led to a full-time job was working at a local college doing custodial and ground maintenance. After a couple years, Ed ended up deciding to go back to school to pursue a different occupation but he ended up not enjoying that chosen career path.
That had Ed heading back to All Star for another assignment. His second full time gig grew out of a temporary assignment working for a local newspaper where he worked successfully for 5 years. Ed, wanting to get out of an office and have a bit more independence went back one more time to All Star looking for something that might fulfill his needs. He ended up back at the fairgrounds where he had done temporary assignments years earlier. When a county job opened up doing building and ground maintenance for the fairgrounds, Ed got the job!
“Working with All Star has kept me working for the best part of 10 years! Now I am in a job that I actually look forward to going to every morning,” said Ed. “Each day brings a new challenge and I could not be happier. It is hard work but I am happy and I have fun doing it. The benefits and wage don’t hurt either! All Star has been really supportive, always have been. Scott is always so personable, even when I see him around town he stops to check in with me and we chat about how things are going.”
“It has been such a pleasure to work with Ed, finding him jobs that have worked out so well for him. We are all thrilled that he has finally found his “home” and truly enjoys what he does, said Scott Reynolds, Branch Manager. “We hope Ed still pops in every now and then, just to tell us how he is doing. We wish him all the best.”
