Send you to a shift at your own time and expense, the shift wasn't even available, when you contact them they ignore you. I wouldn't give this agency the time of day avoid at all costs.

1. Did not pay me according to my hours. Started chasing them a week ago and still no results. Do no recommend, unless you are searching for problems! 2. They ignore me whatsoever, and do not bother about underpaying me almost half of what I should have received.

Not professional, not organised and rude when they deal with the employee.

The manager was so rude! Told him couldn't do a test for the next day and got annoyed. He asked what my plans were and I told him. But still wasn't happy. He was raising his voice at me saying I will have to give your job away and I replied well it's not ideal as I am keen but I understand. He then didn't like that response and started raising his voice even more.

I have been a manager myself and I assure you he couldn't spell manager. I have never been spoken to like that before. Very unprofessional in every aspect. Glad I turned down the job!
