Comments:
I was new in town and ended up at this agency. They suck. The pay is
low. they don't give a damn about their temps -- the client is always
right. They have no benefits. We weren't even allowed to fax out
timesheets to the agency -- they had to be mailed or
hand-delivered. WATCH OUT! This company is all about the client. And
God forbid a client actually likes you -- when one assignment ends
they won't place you on another one just in case the client calls back
and requests you. So you do a lot of sitting aroung waiting for the
phone to ring.
After about eight months of the b.s. I registered
with MacTemps (now Aquent Staffing) where I have been for several
years and they are the absolute best. Stay away from Talent
Tree!!!
