Comments:
Their registration process took over three hours including tests and interviews. I was looking for a permanent job and was informed that most jobs were temp to perm and that during the first three months they keep roughly half my salary. I mentioned this to people at two other agencies and was told to run the other way. It is unconscionable to take half my hard earned wages for three months. They are getting paid by the companies and I don't see why they want to exploit the unemplyed.
