Comments:
Its a very small agency.
I go in and the receptionist tells me to fill out my name and number and the positions I want and the pay I want. Thats it. And when I am done since its so quick to write down, she makes me wait! and for nothing, since she is only online looking at HOTJOBS.com and not doing anything important.

She makes me wait till she feels like she wants to take my information on the paper. Like 10 minutes and then she tells me that they will call if they have anything. !!!!!! So, what was the point of waiting??????

The next day they call me with a position that I obviously do not want , and had nothing to do with what I had put down, and the pay was about 5 dollars less than what I wanted.

They are a very NOT personal agency, and just throws people in to jobs that they do not want, and do not even interview you to see whats your best fit. VEERY BAD!
