Comments:
At first it seemed like a good agency for accounting spots. They spent a half hour telling me how great my resume and skills were and that I had the "perfect background". However, they were very misleading. They called me about a position at Macys by mail. The rate they quoted was lower than my min., I did however, agree to take the assignment, and see how it went. They left out one detail though, that I didn't know until the day the assignment was supposed to start. It was in downtown brooklyn. I live in queens and for that money it was too far to travel. But they didn't say anything so I assumed it was in manhattan, since the address was on fulton St. which is downtown. When I got to the manhattan address, I saw this building # did not exist. I called the agency, and then they told me it was in Brooklyn. By now it was around 9:30, and I told them they didn't tell me but I went on the subway to the brooklyn address. When I got there, the supervisor told me that the assignment was canceled. I couldn't believe this, it wasn't my fault. I was so mad, I called the agency and said what I thought as well as some other words. What a waste of time
