Comments:
At first, I thought this agency had potential. That changed fast. They
were just like the others. They got me a job the same day that I
registered. They told me on the phone that they had a long term
position available that I may be interested in. When I arrived they
changed everything and said it was just a l month project. I guess
they felt that I wouldnt take the job if I knew it was only a month
long. Then it turned out it was only for two weeks. They are not
organized at all! When I tell them to keep my check at the office and
I will pick it up, they mail it to my house, and vice-versa. It is
ridiculous!! They only think about theirselves, and really dont care
about your welfare. I am currently on a job from them, and I told them
to find out if this had permanent possibilities ( they know I want
something permanent! ). They never followed up on that! I had to find
out for myself! Then it turns out this position will be ending
eventually. This sucks! After all this, I would recommend that anyone
looking for a job should not count on temp agencies for guidance.
