Comments:
Good agency for a while when I was new to game and willing to take whatever was offered. Tendency to get nasty if you won't do what they want, also they don't like you working for other agencies. Watch out for one of the staff! Very rude & nasty, also totally inacurrate information from her. She even ticks off the employers with her pushiness and can mess up your situation. They don't like to give the rate when offering a job, you have to ask and then they'll say "have to check" or they'll state it with a question mark attached, so you have to wonder if you're getting a decent rate without haggling over it. They like it best when you just act like a puppy and are grateful for anything and have no goals of your own.
