Comments:
Rand has been pretty good to me. They've kept me steadily in work for several months (with off spots of a few days to a week here and there). They seem to have locked me in at $16 / hr. Not sure if this is fair or not as other temps I've talked to at these same jobs were getting $18. Of course, for the amount of work I've had to do at these jobs (usually no more than answer phones) $16 is probably more than fair!

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.
