Comments:
I love this agency, and I love the women I deal with there. They seem geniunely concerned with finding me work, and are wonderful to talk to. They are really good with finding the sorts of assignments I WANT to get (I asked for short term, creative, casual environments and that's what I've gotten so far), and they move quickly. I went in on a Friday, and had work the next Tuesday. That Monday was a holiday or I have a feeling I would have been working then, too.

Note that all reviews are individual contributions and do not represent the opinion of the site administrator. They have not been independently verified, so there is nothing to stop someone from posting a pack of lies. 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. I take no responsibility for what comes up when you google yourself.
