Comments:
I found Quantum to be one of those agencies where you are lucky if you get an assignment. I worked for 2 assignments for Quantum before I was given the cold shoulder. Jennifer who was my counselor was not particularly into her job. She gave me the cold shoulder from the start and was always phony in her approach. I waited for 2 weeks before I started to register at other agencies. I would not recommend Quantum to others. They offered no real enthusiam as to wanting to see you employed. And you have to wait forever to speak to a counselor when you come in for a visit.
