The owner is a lovely woman who I believe is all about the business she built. I've only spoken to her once and would have preferred to work with her from the start. Her name is Nancy if you ever get the chance to speak with her. On the other hand: a ridiculously unprofessional VP who does most of the placements. She doesn't reply to emails or phone calls unless there's some piece of info she needs from you. Working for an agency is a business. Most of the time we get the short end of the stick but it's still my contractor business and I don't conduct it that way. My new hire paperwork was ignored by a woman who was quitting. Therefore, my paycheck wasn't processed. I had to go to the office and insist they cut a manual check. I don't work for free, so no, I won't wait until the next pay cycle because it's easier for the office staff. I also couldn't get my W-2s for taxes. There always seems to be a huge lack of communication or crossed-signals. The operational part of this office lacks the discipline to keep up with hours being worked by its contractors. I've recently moved back to this area and was referred by a friend to a job that this company is desperately trying to fill and originally approached her for. I saw the thread between the office and my friend and the VP said, "Yes I would greatly appreciate any referrals." I submitted my resume with a note saying that I was back in town and could work without any schedule limitations with regard to the position via referral. I didn't hear a word back from this ofifce, which has been my experience in the past. Could someone be on vacation? Possibly. But I would think that anyone in the business of taking a cut of the money being earned by another person would be quick to snatch up a professional person, with skills and a completely open schedule. Yes, I insisted on getting paid on the date corresponding with THEIR guidelines back in 2010 but that shouldn't be grounds to blackball me from getting another job through them. I believe in Corporate Karma. If the tables were ever turned on this VP I'm pretty sure she would insist on getting her pay as well. Anybody would. The job search continues... read more
