Comments: I love this agency. They are very decent people who genuinely care about the people who work for them. They are upfront about pay and have always responded well to my occasional need for time off. The clients they get are big names in Broadcasting and other media. The other people I know who work for APS are equally satisfied. We always recommend that friends go to them when they need temp work. I have been steadily employed for the past 7 months and am now in a great job that I'm considering staying at permanently. They are however very good about screening their temps; which is great if you have good job skills. This is not an agency for slackers. They are what they say: Absolutely Professional.
