Comments:
This is a joke in the name of employment. The assignment they offered me has no end in sight, it was disguised as a long term position but I soon find out it is a way of exploiting people by not having to pay them benefits by the hiring company and a way of pocketing the difference by the new age slave loaners.It is a job that no one wants to do. The agency has made no attempts at finding me a new assignment despite repeated complaints about this position. But in this economy, I guess having a job is better than none at all.

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.
