It's a great agency. Unfortunately their office personnel are underpaid, so they leave just as you get to know and like them. Even from the first they were helpful. They basically saved me from homelessness, so I'm pretty grateful. Sometimes I think if they hadn't made it so easy for me I might be doing better now, but that's not much of a complaint.
Helps a lot if you do well on tests. Go take the test for practice at another agency, then come here.
