Comments:
Very disappointing experience!!! I was told the second assignment was a 4-6 week job....they stuck me there and did nothing to get me into another position. The job was horrible!!! Lots of box lifting and tons of filing...no phones, no meet/greet people..it was like working in the basement of the company. I have a degree in Finance and have not done such mindless tasks since my first job 16 years ago. They obviously don't look at your past experience and try to fit you with a job that matches your skills. Ann was very unprofessional. She would not return phone calls. They just ignored me when I tried to contact them to see if there was anything else available. Michelle is very nice but will "yes" you to death and do nothing.
