Comments:
For the first few months I worked with Accurate the staff was more than sweet and supportive. They listened (kind of) to my needs and sent me to Hearst Corp. Closer to my entertainment background, unfortunatly some strangeness has happened and suddenly I am in the Morgan Stanley pool...lots of work but not really what my background is. The mid-town office, handy for payroll pickup, was suddenly closed with no pre warning and now either the check are mailed or one has to schlep to Wall Street during lunch...very uncool. There have also been recent screw ups with the payroll causing a week without a check...the check was made up but still...the point of working my brains out doing data entry is because I am in serious need of money... no real apology...no hand patting...guess I'll find another agency!
