Comments:
This agency was a complete waste of my time. I spent 3 1/2 hours at this place, filling out a lengthy application, taking written and computer tests, and waiting forever for a counselor to see me. I scored very well on all my tests, and didn't get a single job. I called a few times to give them my availability and check if any work had come in. The counselors have all their calls screened and never pick up the phone.

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. I take no responsibility for what comes up when you google yourself.
