Comments: I have mixed feelings about TAD. They have placed me on quite a few nice long term assignments (including one where I went to a contract situation with United Engineers in the same department of the company I was placed at).

However, paychecks have a tendency to come late or not come at all. Despite the million times I have been in their office, I get the "I'm sorry, your name again?" routine.

They tend to forget about you rather quickly -- you have to keep pestering them for work.

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.
