Comments:
My interviewer showed up looking like she was going to a clam bake (tie-die t-shirt, jeans, etc) but said "you look great!" Thanks, I'm here for an interview.
Despite telling me to come in "dressed and ready to go!" she wondered why I did come in, twice. She'd apparently forgotten over the weekend. When I questioned it (the 2nd time) she disputed my test scores, made excuses for her extreme disorganization, had the nerve to e-mail me later to ask me to help her fill a permanent position she was working on.
Horrible. Avoid!

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.
