Comments:
Started working: 1993
Stopped working: 1995
Types of Jobs: Numerous - primarily legal
Was this Typical: Yes.
Clients: primarily small - medium
Salary: average day
Benefits: NONE (again, even though AMEX listed)
Comments: Found assignments interesting, however, considering AMEX listing sorely lacking in benefit availability. Have the standard fee for referral. Recently acquired Solo Word Processing (fairly good reputation), however the stock isn't doing that well. My requests for shift differential weren't always honored (1993-94) - appears to have been company policy. Letters written to executive staff were ignored. Carol Carlton was contact - fairly good about referrals & jobs. But company had wrong state deduction amount & did not acknowledge shift differnetial. AMEX price seems to fluctuate a little too much. Especially considering potential.
