Comments:
The only reason I got my first assignment with Tiger was due to the fact that I lived geographically close to this assignment in NJ. That assignment was fine. The next assignment, however, was not. I worked at Smith Barney for one day and the client told me to come back. But that night Tiger said that they canceled, leaving me with nothing lined up. The want you to spend about 40 hours over two weeks (without pay) training to work at Goldman Sachs when it doesn't pay that much for the investment in my time in the training. I regret that I ever registered with Tiger. They were the biggest waste of time because the tests take so long, and they don't know you from all the other temps working for them.
