Comments:
I had a really bad experience with this firm. First of all they never returned my phone calls. After getting me an assignment and agreeing to pay me a specific amount they never paid me correctly. I spoke to them a number of times regarding the incorrect rate and they consistently told me they would fix the problem. Two months AFTER the continuous promises of fixing my rate they turned around and said that they never agreed to pay me said rate, and whatever was on the check was the correct. I then told them that that wasn't possible because I would never have agreed to the lower rate because I would then be making less than my previous job. At that point they told me they would be gracious enough to meet me halfway. While this would seem to be an isolated incident two of my other friends (all of us signed on at the same time)at this agency had similar problems. My advice is to STAY AWAY from this agency.
