Comments:
This agency is pretty good as far as getting work with their major
client, NY Presbyterian Hospital. The assignments were interesting and
help you to get a sense of working in a medical atmosphere.
The
counselors Meg and Danielle are excellent to deal with.
However the
counselor Pascaline pretends to be nice but the
fakeness eeks through her pores. Several of the temps that I worked
with complained about her nasty attitude. So consider yourself
warned.
They pigeon hole you into working for the same rate
even if you have worked with them for a long while. They say they
offer raises based on client review cards(attached to your weekly
timesheet). LIARS!!!
If the client doesn't send in the cards, they
use that as an excuse not to give you a raise.
They also
require you to mail your timesheet to their New Jersey office. If it
doesn't get there on time, you won't get paid and they don't
care.
However, still sign up with this agency. You will surely
get work.
