Comments:
I am surprised that I am still with this agency given some of the
mistakes they have made, i.e.; losing my resume (several times) losing
all my computerized test results, mailing my check when I asked to
pick it up, etc.
I am not terribly impressed with the office management nor the false way the agents deal with you - we are truly only a $$ to them. Recently one of the agents from my local office came on site to visit with a client in the very next office and yet couldn't make the effort to come by and say "Hello, how's everything going?" I am still with them because I have scaled the full-time assignment I was placed on to 30 hrs/week and can attend school full-time. As long as this continues to work for me I can deal with their ineptitude.
