Agency is worse than useless and handles hiring for most of the good jobs in my town. Always posting standing job orders to generate applications when no jobs exist, are never taking applications or even in the office at the start of the normal workday, deduct cost of drug testing, background checks, etc. from workers' first paychecks, make would-be workers reapply every six months to stay active. Who knows how one actually gets a job through them. I applied and reapplied and even got a little pushy over a few jobs and never got called about a job once in three years of being signed up with them. Once I got railroaded into interviewing and getting instantly hired for a job they admitted didn't exist AFTER I had quit and been replaced at my previous job. If you want temp work, you're way better off standing in front of Home Depot with the Central Americans than signing up with Ambassador in Tuscaloosa.
