Comments:
Kelly Services is a rather poor quality agency considering their size. I've been with them for about 3 years, and they refuse to raise my pay rate. Despite the fact that the in-house rep for the company I work woth is both inept and just plain unqualified (dare I say Lazy also).

Not only do I and other "temps" find our own assignments at this company, the above said rep will try and get you to take less money if you're stupid enough to let her.

Adding to the ridiculousness is the fact that my qualifications and references are stellar. It's not tooting my own horn, it's simply the way other have referred to me.

This particular company is in Purchase, NY but the actual agency that services them and hosts the manager to the above said inept rep is in Danbury, CT.

Watch out is all I can say.
