Comments:
I recieved a job with the agency on the same day within minutes.

But I was told that it would be a temporary job, looking for 75-100 customer service reps for call center, that would last 2 months and 40+ hours if you wanted, MON-FRI 9am-5pm only.

When I got to the assignment, They wanted the hours of 8am-6pm any day of the week including weekends and no overtime.

After the first week, over 30 people were fired and another 40 were fired the following week. I was a good worker with good work ethics so they didn't let me go. And the assignment is ending now after 2 and 1/2 weeks when I was told it would last two months.

I don't mind the work or pay and the people at the agency were very friendly, but all the deception truely wasn't neccesary!!!
What ever happened to "HONESTY being the BEST POLICY"????
