Not good to work for this agency. I work as a labor for them and they did not pay me. The man who didn't pay me introduced himself as Mark.

Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness
I would just like to thank Apex for all of their hard work in helping me secure my dream job. I have tried a number of agencies in the past and Apex were by far the most professional. They kept me posted throughout the whole recruitment process and were polite and courteous throughout. Thank you so much!
