Comments:
Of the half dozen temp agencies I visited this was the most
cattleprodding by far. They are way too busy for their
facilities. Your counselor sees you for about five seconds after you
wait in the lobby (forced to watch Mariah Carey videos at that!). The
assignment they gave me was not of the length they said, nor was the
work what they'd said. They still haven't handed over my paycheck
because the condescending snots I worked for at the museum haven't
deigned to fax them back my timesheet confirmation. At United, they
treated me rudely and told me I have no options. Really bottom of the
barrel temp agency.
