Comments:
This agency had too many tests, and the pay they offered was too low for AA work. I was given $10 for the one day I worked for them and when they offered me $10 for the next job, I never called back. Then the job counseller I had left to start his own agency and kept calling to get me to come down and take more tests for them, that seemed so outrageous to me. I mean, they already tested me so much, why would I want to take more tests for another start out temping place? No thanks.

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.
