Comments:
The agency is ok. I've been with the same assignment since May. I
started in April. Was on day assignments. The best thing to do is to
call them everyday (or email) and nag them. Even if they said "we'll
call you," still call them. The pay isn't great. I tried to get the
assignment permanently and it was a no go. I am currently trying to
get into an assignment that is better pay but this is a no go. So
overall you are pretty much stuck. Another thing that isn't good about
this agency is the recruiter leaves (meaning they leave the company so
you are passed to someone else). They were late in paying me and that
was a hassle to get fixed. I'm not sure how other states are but NY
isn't the greatest. Currently looking into other temp agencies.
