Comments:
Manpower is one of those agencies that appear to be helpful in the
beginning, but the client they send you to is trying not to keep you
on past 3 months and make you take a week off so they don't have to
hire you permanently. If you are not satisfied with an assisgnment
you are out of luck. They will not reassign you until it's over. My
last assignment was just reaching the 3 month mark, after they
extended my assignment, and about two weeks before they would have to
put me on the payroll they let me go. My assignment end date wasn't
until the end of Feb. They (both Manpower and client) are
sneaky. Don't waste your time. It's been a month since last
assignment and counting.
