Comments:
Do not go to this agency!!!!!!!!! It is the worst one out here in NY. The agency is a scam!!! 1st of all when you walk in, there is like a million other people there too, trying to get work just like me. After taking tests, and seeing different counselors, and waiting again (total time there is about 3 hours), they take you in this room with about 30 people each sitting in front a computer, then you are asked to stand in the middle of the room and say what kind of job you're looking for, etc., then someone from the 30 poeple may ask you a question if they seem interested in you, then you go back out and wait, and then leave without a job. Essex Temp Agency is the worst!!!! I warn you stay far away from it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Note that all reviews are individual contributions and do not represent the opinion of the site administrator. They have not been independently verified, so there is nothing to stop someone from posting a pack of lies. Some agencies with great reviews may be really bad, and some agencies with bad reviews may be really great. As with everything online, be careful and don't believe everything you read.
