Report
I called to ask if they had any available positions. She was so rude, she got mad that was asking questions about the position that they currently have open (I wanted to know information about the position before having my resume sent over to the client). I let her know that and she said she was going to hang up because that's not how things work. She then hung up the phone. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! And all of their positions are very low pay.

Place sucks actually. I've applied a few times with multiple jobs and these people have yet to get me a job anywhere.

Receptionist is rude. They can only find work for one day and they'll only know when the employer calls them. They have no knowledge of work for next week or the week after.
