Comments:
First of all this temp agency is a joke. I got there tuesday morining at 11am and left at 3:20pm. I think I waited for an hour or two to take those stupid exams, then when I spoke to an adviser for a position for Admin. Asst./W.P. he told me that things are kind of slow right know especially for the summer and that they were offering $9.00 an hr. for the A.A. position( My typig wasn't 65 for word processor)When He told me that I just wanted to slap him so much, I was so upset. I told him that I can't live on that rate its to low for A.A(A.A get paid at least $15.00 an hr) He told me that he understood and that he was going to see what he could do for me. Finally when he got back to me, he took me to see his supervisor I guess and she told me that she can only go as far as $8.00 per hr.
I was upset that they made me waste the whole day there, I gave them the card back and walked away.
