Comments:
Staffmark has a professional and helpful staff. Not too much attitude. However, they have jobs that I do not care for. They have too many 1 day placements, or they might say come in dressed at 8 am and just wait for an assignment. This may work for some of you but does not work for me. I do not chose to spend the day in their office waiting. They are a helpful bunch but do not count on this staff to get you good jobs. Especially if a good job means a long-term job paying $18 or more. If you apply make sure that your skills are the best they can be and insist on your preferred pay rate and job length.

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.
