Comments:
On the first assignment that i had with this agency, they promised me $9 per hour. Desparate i took the work. When i go to pick up my check for the six hours that i worked, i found that i had only been paid $8. Silly me, i decided to continue to work with them. They offer me a job for $13 as a Sales Assistant. After being here for a month, i called for a raise, since i have made $16 per hour in the past. They tell me that i have to ask the people that i am working for because they are under contract with this client. They know that i do nothing all day, which is how i am able to sit here and write this review, so how would i justify asking for a raise. i am going to leave here and go to an agency that at least uses vaseling before trying to screw you.
