Comments:
This agency got me work very quickly. However, when an assignment that I had to interview for was not working out, and I told them I couldn't work there, they wanted me to work the week out and then phoned me three times a day and left numerous messages (all of the counselors) to see "what they had done wrong". I had signed on with another agency and realized that they were too concerned.
They also kept asking me why I chose the rate that I asked for and even though they knew I should make more, they didn't suggest that I receive a higher hourly rate.
I know that they are used by many law firms and have been around awhile, but when I went to cash my check at two local check cashing places, they refused the check saying that they had bounced in the past. This would be a problem for people with no bank account.
