Texas Workforce is a joke! They never really help anyone, and I'm sick of the run around with them. Childcare assistance is non existent, unemployment makes mistakes on their evaluations leaving you owing money you didn't have to begin with, they refuse to help you find a job and instead always tell you just look at our online listings and apply. what are these people even here for? Someone please enlighten me, because I'd love to know!

I was completely blown away by the level of customer service and professionalism i received from CARMEN. I spoke to her over the phone. This is my first time ever requesting unemployment it's super stressful and hard to fully understand but CARMEN was super informative and helpful answering every question I had and guided me through my online troubles with the workforce website. I don't know what the other people are like there but I'd just ask for CARMEN just to be sure you get amazing customer service! Keep up the great work!

This place is very friendly and efficient. I was amazed at how big and comfortable the interior is, although the parking lot is rather busy. From the instant you walk in the door you are greeted and your needs are acknowledged, I was quickly interviewed and out the door for a job. I will be very blunt: if you need to work for whatever reason, this is the place to go.
They make you feel appreciated and they have many options to meet your skills and abilities. This is not what I had imagined- it is big and clean and classy and helpful. I was concerned it would be a packed place with sweaty people staring and yapping and coughing and sniffling and that I would be there forever but that is not the case at all! I was actually so cool and comfortable I didn't want to leave.
I never thought I would give a place like this a 5 star review but they certainly deserve it. The parking lot is huge but there are other businesses so I recommend that you arrive early and you will be very happy.

This was an amazing workforce solutions! They were very helpful and ensured that I got the best help possible. I visited multiple times, and although they have a lot of people coming in for help, they work efficiently. This Westheimer Workforce Solutions is great. If you are looking for academic help, scholarships, or jobs, I encourage you to visit this location.

They were very helpful and courteous in answering my questions and assisting in applying for financial aid assistance for school. I have been helped by various counselors and they were great. One of them was very honest about the application process and that it's a long process because of the lack of funds they receive from the government but to keep trying. The requirements to keep the scholarship are quite manageable. The customer service is great.

Extremely rude front desk staffs, no help, long lines. It feels more like an interrogation than a interview or "assessment". I needed help applying for a scholarship for school and the front desk lady said "you got to register online as a job seeker". I said "okay, but I'm just applying for financial aid". And she rudely exclaimed, "do you KNOW WHY you apply for financial aid, to go to school, get an education, and get a job, so you can be part of the working society!" She gave me such a nasty attitude, absolutely disgusting.
I don't appreciate the unprofessional tone of voice. I KNOW my role in society, I know why I go to school, I don't need her to tell me that. It was blunt, unnecessary, and unprofessional.

Workforce Solutions allowed us to use several of their computer stations to host our Houston area job fair! The facility is spacious and clean, and there are probably on the order of 48 computers available for job applications. The staff, including Melanie, Jaime and Carlos, all did a fantastic job of keeping things running smoothly. They were all highly professional and cordial, both with ourselves and with the many clients we processed. I definitely recommend them to anyone in the job hunt. I would also like to thank them profusely for letting us set up short within their facility.
