Comments:
I think I could be getting more money, but I am new, so I think it is easier for them to get me work for cheap. Also, when I went to Bear Stearn, I was supposed to be there for 2 days, but the woman who was sick came back-I walked in and there she was. I was not notified or paid--I was told by Bear Stearn I would be paid, but my counselor said I would not be paid- that they do not pay anyone---hmmmm Am I being dealt with crookedlly? I also spend a lot of hours on stand-by getting nothing. very dissappointing.
