The first time my brother went through this agency everything went fine. Mariah helped him and she was very good. This time around he spoke to her and a different woman named Destiny answered the phone and basically didnt help him even though days before the woman Mariah told him they had some offers but could not release any info because of 4th of july. So he called the next day and the woman Destiny answered and gave a big sigh as if she didnt want to deal with him telling him that Mariah was on break but he called an hour before and she told him the same thing.
She then asked my brother why does he keep asking for Mariah every time he calls. The simple answer is because she is the one who was handling his case and the one who said she had some stuff for him then Destiny tells him no we dont have nothing for you. Shes a liar and has no patience what so ever. Dont speak to her when you call because she cant do her job and you will get no where. smh she hates her job.

I like Tempstar a lot. I work here on my breaks from college and both times when I went in, I had a job the next day. Work was work, but not too bad, and they are always available to reassign me when I don't want to work somewhere I've been assigned. Always flexible and nice.

They were very helpful and insightful in finding help for me. I will always use them first when I need something filled. I recommend them for anyone looking to have work filled reliably. I always ask for Tiffany when I call.
