"That you are just like a number to them. Even after contracting for them solely for 4 years, I wasn't treated very well. I ended up switching to another agency who treated me well and paid a lot more. My very first job with the new agency ended up going permanent. The whole 4 yrs. at Accountemps I never did. They also lied about what a temp-to-perm position would make when it went permanent so I wasted 3 months at a client that tried to hire me. We were too far apart on the money so he said he would never use Accountemps again."

They only give you the minimum income they can get you to agree to so they keep the difference that they are getting from the employer."
