Comments:
In the beginning I would say this was a Temp's dream come true! But eventually that failed. This company does not listen to what you have to say , they are phoney and some of the counselors are very dishonest with work. They always say there is no work available but, whenever you call to speak to your counselor you are informed that he is on the phone with a client or in a client meeting! I would not recommend this agency to to others. :(

Note that all reviews are individual contributions and do not represent the opinion of the site administrator. They have not been independently verified, so there is nothing to stop someone from posting a pack of lies. Some agencies with great reviews may be really bad, and some agencies with bad reviews may be really great. As with everything online, be careful and don't believe everything you read.
