Comments:
I felt that this agency services was not good. I have had better: all the things I was promised as far as placement was not met. While I was in the office which is very small I over heard thing that should not be said in and I took as an insult not to myself but to others. The statement was made that so and so would work like a dog so I'm placing her here. I also had a bad experience when I got sick. Jenny Mack was very nasty to me when I was hopitalized and couldn't return to an assignment for a few days. I did not understand why she was so rude because I did have documentation. I will not work for her again. Also, for some strange reason Federal and State taxes were not taken out of my wages. I know I filled out the forms correctly because for other agencies that year I did not have this problem.
