Comments:
This agency is the worst.i signed up with them for a job on the first day and they assigned me to work at a sample sale for Escada. I went towork- assigned to work for three days at 10 bucks an hour, 9 hrs per day. That first dqay they cancelled the rest of the week and told me to leave after only four hours. in addition to this i was working with another temp who was an ivyh leaguegraduate and fullbright scholar (she was getting her PHd) and Forrest had assigned her this shit job. Please! they are teeeeeerrrible. i switched to another agency a temp suggested while I was at the sale ( RJL), and RJL is WONDERFUL! they are everything you look for in an agency, small personal inviting caring responsive to all yiour needs. Props to RJL- BIG THUMBS down to FOrrest Edwards. RJL makes temping WONDERFUL!! Dear Forrest- You SUCk,
Sincerely,
An Ivy League Student
