Comments:
This particular location has both good and bad points.
GOOD - Anyone can get a job, even if you have no computer skills. They are willing to work with you and help you build your skills. This was first temporary agency I started with 11 years ago fresh out of high school.
BAD - Most their clients are in Queens NY. Which can be good if you live in the area. However, because of the location the jobs rarely pay anything beyond 10-11 an hour. Also the administration is not always professional. For instance, my paychecks were delayed because they were sent to my old address. When I investigated I found out that the updated paper work I filled out was still at the Queens branch. After 4 weeks it was never sent out! Neither was my direct deposit, a month after I submitted it.
