Comments:
The people here are very friendly. That being said, they are not a good temp agency if you hope to not have to sit around at home not working for weeks on end. It took forever to get my first assignment, which was only for one day, and the last three times I've called they've told me, "things are pretty slow around here." To say the least. I only got the good job I have now by accident when another temp didn't show up at the assigment they'd given her, and apparently I was next in line for the coveted temp position. Then I've had trouble with getting paid. Not something you want to worry about as a temp. Your contact should definitely know if there's a telephone number to call to make sure the main office has received your faxed timesheet, and mine did not. And they should also tell you if you are not going to be paid when you're expecting to be paid. Like I said, nice people, very friendly, just not entirely competent.
