The Park Avenue Group has been a truly amazing place to work. The CEO, Stacy Stevens, has been extremely helpful and very encouraging. The office culture is relaxed and everyone gets along. There is a work/life balance and everyone is always there for each other. I highly recommend working or using this firm.

Report
Called me during work hours requesting org-chart. Woman was very pushy and quite rude. Typical phishing staffing firm.
