Comments:
I registered with Choice and was delighted to have a human experience! Agencies are often the victim of circumstance, and I am here to state that this one is different. They were upfront and honest, stating the market is tight and competetive and registering with an agency is sort of like playing lotto "you got to be in it to win it". I got an assignment after 3 weeks and they are happy I work with other agencies because it is important that I keep working! I met with Lisa Zanardi who is an absolute gem - even when she is busy she had the time to pick up the phone even when I am "not" on assignment. They are small, not national and can give their employees the attention they need. I highly recommend you register with them - Bravo Choice!

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.
