Comments:
**above mentioned medical benefits are "offered" but not very desirable. The medical insurance is provided through GHI and is EMERGENCY MEDICAL/HOSPITALIZATION and for one person would cost up and around $220 per month in NYC.
**One 7hour "Vacation day" is paid to people who work more than 400hrs (make sure you ask for it)
**No 401K
**TransitCheks are offered (though after submitting my application on September 5th it hasn't gone into effect)

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.
