I have been in a need of a better job than the one I had and I applied online and Jennifer contacted me asking about my application. That same day I was able to go in and do all my paperwork and the same day I was able to get a match with a good job and paid more. I always appreciate honesty and I have applied to other agencies that have done me dirty but not this one. You can have my word. Don't waste time applying to others and call them today!

This place isn't the smartest, they will low ball your experience in pay and retaliation towards you if you 1st assignment doesn't work out regardless if it's employee doesn't like the environment or employer failed the employee, bad business all around. Also keep in mind if 1 assignment doesn't workout with your standards as an employee, they won't even answer your calls. This company doesn't care about how you're treated on a assignment, Beware.
