Comments:
I have had a great experience all around with this agency. I am surprised that the other reviews are talking about the same agency I have been working with!
The interview process: Pretty run of the mill stuff. Take responsibility for stating what you are there for clearly, and you shouldn't have any trouble.
The pay: They offered me what I consider to be a very reasonable rate of pay ~ slightly higher than my last permanent position (however, I was working in a smaller market before).
The assignment: Granted, it was originally billed as a "2-Day" assignment, but when another temp abruptly quit, I had made a good impression and was able to move into her "long-term temp" position. The brokers I supported were fabulous! The permanent employees I work with treated me with respect and I've made many friends here. I also worked with several other temps some from CORE and some from other agencies. All of us from CORE share the opinion that they have treated us well.
Problems: None. Initially, I had some trouble getting paid on time, but once I called and spoke with payroll, I clued into the fact that I was not following procedure. I suspect anyone having difficulty getting paid isn't following procedure correctly. It's not really that it's confusing or anything.
My counselor: A great person to work with ~ and so are the several other people I've spoken with when I've called in for one reason or another.
Would I recommend them: Yes, and I have. Both people I've recommended were placed shortly after their initial meeting with CORE and share my sentiments.
