    Tldr: Sheldon was incredibly rude to me about supposedly ghosting an interview years ago. When in…read moreactuality I had contacted him and he failed to respond to me. Completely unnecessary and unacceptable behavior. Bad customer service. I submitted a resume and was asked to call back for a phone conversation to start the process. I was matched with Sheldon. When we were beginning the registration process, he realized I was already on file and his attitude completely changed and he became very rude. He informed me that I had been asked to do a video interview with him two and a half years ago and I logged on and out and didn't respond to his voicemail asking what happened. He was confrontational about this and asked me if I remembered this. I apologized and said I didn't (it's been 2.5 years) and told him it had probably just been a connection issue. He rudely said "well what can I do for you now?" as if he's been holding this grudge. Maybe he just had a bad day, but it felt very unprofessional and he ended the call with this tone that felt like he wasn't going to assist me because of this, which is unfair. Being the professional I am, I sent an apologetic email about not following up 2.5 years ago. Then I went through my texts with him and saw that I had actually followed up about the technical difficulties and had asked to reschedule, and he never responded back to me. Even if I hadn't, it would have still been incredibly unprofessional for him to talk to me like that. I'm sure having people not follow up is frustrating, but it's recruiting. It's part of the industry. And it definitely does not mean that you get to talk down to people because of it, especially if years have passed. And I was communicative both 2.5 years ago and today. They are an agency that doesn't respond to emails and doesn't respond to their own sms messaging system even if they contact you in that way first. Looking for employment can be frustrating but being demeaned (especially for something you didn't even do) is not something anyone should have to deal with. I would not recommend this place. They need to learn better communication and customer service.

    If you are willing to work hard *as a professional* at the job in which you are placed, Philly…read moreTemps and Perms will be a great fit. I interviewed and was hired for a week-long convention position which paid exceptionally well. We used an online app to check in each day and to record our hours. I received payment within two weeks. Afterwards, I was contacted numerous times for other work. I found Christine to be sincere and empathetic however, she owns the business and it's her reputation on the line so she's not interested in people who won't go the extra mile. There's an added bonus with PT&P: its office is on Walnut Street, right in the middle of Center City's hustle and bustle. If you're out of work and feel a little low, it's exhilarating in a way to walk amongst all of the busy people on the street, enter the historic building and take the trip up the old elevators.
