Comments:
I went to this agency yesterday and I was appalled at how incredibly unprofessional and rude the woman that I spoke with was, and she was the Executive Director!!
When she finally got to me, she essentially told me that the job I had come in for is filled. She didn't shake my hand, and didn't even bother to read my resume. She saw my title, and asked me a completely irrelevent follow up question that made it painfully obvious that I was wasting her time. She took personal calls on her cell phone, and then her office phone. Not only was I disappointed at the position already being filled, but I felt insulted and degraded as well. It is hard enough to look for a job without being treated like trash by those who are supposed to help you.

Anyway, there is no information anyway about them, so I wanted to provide some. Hope this helps.
