Comments:
This is a good agency if you are looking for temp to perm work. I have not had as much luck with their purely temp department. The staff on the temp side is not as thorough, or professional. They are out of the office alot...I have waited between asignments quite a while at points. Then they would give me like 1 or 2 day long things, or call me at the last minute. For a while they were sending me on these weird gigs for one of the agents brother. They sucked. They were for things a highschool kid could have done. They tend to send me to reception jobs although I have been a Executive personal assistant, executive administrative assistant etc... I think they do this because I am a young cute woman. So if you are too, even if you are a college graduate with great computer skills they just might stick you up front.
