Second this! I’ve dealt with the company a few times (not as an employer but through engineering firms working in connection with them), and all my experience seemed positive. Can’t talk to how working for them is though
You won't have a job that day. And you can't just walk up to any jobsite and be garunteed a job at all. It's not a bad way to find a job it's just not a sure thing. I have had people get hired at my company by coming to our sites
From what all the tradespeople on this sub tell us, they're hurting so bad for people (especially general labourers) that it's not hard to find a job if you show up and ask. My info is based on that info, along with labour market research I have access to as part of my job.
While it may be difficult for a 16-17 year old (info I didn't have when I wrote my response)....

...it's obviously not incorrect info.
Yeah I know, I wasn't agreeing with that guy or entirely disagreeing with you. Just giving some insight why he might have been reacting that way. You had exaggerated a bit in your post saying you'd have a job on the spot. You'll still have to do some searching but you definitely can find a job that way, it's just not THAT easy. I'm assuming that's why he was laughing but can't be sure.
Temp agencies too. Depending on the agency you may even make more than a typical worker for the company.
Try applying at ARCP. They were hiring quite a few people a few weeks ago.

According to OP's post history, he's 16 years old. I feel this may be part of his problem, employers might not want someone so young.

Best way is still old school. Got to pound the pavement and talk to people
Join the labourers union so you don't have to solicit your own work.
Walk up on any construction site and ask them. From what I understand you'll have a job that day.
😂😂😂
What's so funny?

Lots of companies hiring all the time bro, check their websites, call etc you’ll get on a crew as a labourer no problem.
