They wouldve gotten zero stars if I could, rude and disrespectful. Kierra is always getting smart with potential workers, but when the energy is returned theres a problem. Nobody is going to want to work at any temp service with recruiters like that.

Just called to see if they had any jobs, the guy act like he couldnt hear me, then hung up the phone, I called back to see why he hung up, he answered the phone sounding aggravated , i asked if he had any jobs available and he responded with we dont open until 9 (it was 8:35am when I called) and clients dont call us with jobs until 10am so call back at 10am . Who ever is working the phones is rude and should work behind the scenes if you dont have any customer service skills. And if you don't open until "9am" then you should update your time on Google so people will know that. Its that simple

Very unprofessional. Over the past 3 months they have shorted my hours 4 times different times and each time, I have to go through so much unnecessary obstacles to receive the money I've worked hard for. This place is a scam and needs to be shut down!

This place is a joke, they are liars and scammers, Don't, I repeat don't look for employment here, my friend worked one day for this company, when he called for his pay card the lady at the front desk told him, that he don't get paid cause he only worked one-day, talking about it's their policy, there's no such thing as free labor, especially if your not incarcerated or on probation, and my friend has no record and has a high school diploma. My friend continued to call they tried telling him a 2nd lie that he picked his card up already which he hadn't, another guy by the name of Alex called him
