Comments:
One good thing is that this agency allows walk-ins (between 9AM & 3PM. The receptionist was very pleasant (for a change!)Spent minimal time with the counselor who actually called me the minute I walked in my door with this assignment. She agreed the hourly wage was kind of low (It is retail!). However, I needed the money and the people here are very nice--UNLIKE FINANCE.

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.
