Comments:
This agency did not have work for me at first, as I registered over a holiday week. By the next week though, they were callling me with tons of work and keeping me pretty busy. I am currently on an assignment with them that I like and which is very low key for the amount being paid. I agree with some of the other comments that Core staffers can be pretty pushy about their temps taking the jobs offered and it seems that there is a distinct lack of organization between the midtown and the downtown staffers about who called whom for what jobs and so forth. They do have a lot of work though and if you can get over the sometimes aggressive attitude, then you will be sent out.
