Comments:
Essex Temporary Services pays their applicants based on a 100% mark-up meaning, if you are paid $8 the company who placed the order stated they wanted to pay $16. Therefore, they give their client an $8 applicant for a $16 dollar job. Essex Temporary Services only cares about making money for their "upper-level management", and does not care about their applicants, clients, or their own employees. My advice is don't work with Essex and don't register with Essex. Trust me I worked at Essex for 4yrs.
