At first they are ok, they got me a job and everything was going well. Then I get a phone call from the agency saying that the people I was working for didnt want me anymore and that the agency would contact me if there are any jobs near me but they never do. When I found out why they didnt want me and they were lying, I told the agency and they wouldnt do anything. So when things go wrong they just dont bother with you anymore. Im only giving 2 stars because they did get me a job.
