Comments: Advantage has been great to me. I never thought that I could have the job that I have without them. They work well with my college schedule and gave a girl who was straight out of high school and a lot of ambition a chance to bloom and shine. I thank them for that and definitely recommend people to look at this agency. It is one or the best agency out there.

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.
