Comments:
I called this agency to request an interview and they told me to come on in. I made the half-hour trip to their tiny and strange-looking office, and when I arrived there I was told that there wasn't any work. When I protested that I had just called and been told that I should come in to interview, I was very rudely told, "I don't know who YOU talked to, but we don't have any work." When I (politely) expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that I was told to come in, only to be sent away, I was talked to rudely and dismissively. I do not reccommend dealing with this agency.

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. I take no responsibility for what comes up when you google yourself.
