Since I'm I'm highly rated reviewer I'm going to say this. I have been going here for years to fax/copy use computers. NOW they have changed everything up its super time consuming, you already have to sign into the computers in the lobby NOW you have to stand in line after that, get a paper and then after I made 2 copies which took all of 2 minutes I had to fill a paper out. Why? I already signed in with my social, talk about government keeping tabs (state run) It's a NOPE for me now, if they're trying to discourage people from using the facilities then this is the way, job seekers are already under alot of stress who wants to jump through all these hoops now to make a copy and or jib search.
I'll just go to Fed ex and pay it's quicker.their stupid thought process let's make things more complicated for the public. Career Source soon will only need one employee to run it because nobody wants to go thru a long drawn out process to use a free computer heading to the library instead and in the future.

OMG had a employee name RC Davis help me, he had no idea what I was talking about or no idea what he was doing. Needed help with claiming my unemployment. He kept telling me there was a Glitch (something wrong with the computer) and they(whom ever that is) hasn't fixed it. I didn't get no help and he was the only employee that there, BUT it was lunch time. So you know what that means (forget everyone there HUNGRY) I kept raising my hand no one else came to help and I seen about 4 other employees that just kept walking by. RETRAIN RETRAIN RETRAIN.

I'm not too happy because I feel I'm being lied to because we have to sign a ARP form stating we have to submit hours weekly to be in the program and to receive cash assistance but on the arp paperwork it clearly states we are provided with a gas card and the amount next to it and we are required to sign that form we are not receiving any gas cards that makes me feel uncomfortable because I'm required to sign something but I'm not receiving those benefits they need to change that. Other than that customer service is great!

You're far better off standing in the parking lot kicking rocks than trying to accomplish anything whatsoever with the people who are getting paid to work here. Absolute total waste of your time and energy. They will not help you whatsoever in person with anything ever or respond to your calls, voicemails, or emails. Do yourself a favor and don't even walk through the door. Don't say I didn't warn you.
