I received no contact from them to let me know of any delays. I was very unhappy when I contacted the owner. He had no real excuse other than they were behind. And he acted like he didn't have the power to get his staff to do the work anytime soon. Who knows if they even have staff? He made no apology or promise to get the work done by any date. I called him out on all of it and he told me I was snotty. He's a thief. I asked for a refund and told him to have it to me within a week. I'm told the check is in the mail. Yeah. There's still a few days left in the week but I fully expect I'll be at small claims court. His contract says all work must be paid for in advance and he gives no timeframe for getting the work done. If you do take the risk and do business with this place - get a deadline in writing and do not pay in full up front. Obviously, I can't speak to the quality of their work because they didn't do any. Zero stars and a possible trip to small claims court.

I was going through the process and due to my current circumstance I decided to stay with my current job - but I can say that I was extremely pleased with the entire process and ability to put my resume out there to see some opportunities I never would have known about. I definitely recommend Walrath Recruiting to anyone who is looking for a job. It's not a 1 or 2 day turn around and BAM you're hired.. as long as you understand what this company does (provide a filtered and relevant list of applicants for businesses looking for the right fit) you can understand that this is a fantastic tool in addition to looking for a job in other avenues. My experience was very rewarding and if my current situation changes I most definitely will be dealing with Walrath Recruiting again.

They claimed the mugs were on back order but will be in the next week. it is now 11/16/23 still no mug, and no communication or replies to my emails. This companies website states fast service, fast shipping and fast/professional communication This is a straight up lie. They do not initiate any communication they do not provide tracking numbers unless requested, even though their website says they send them immediately. This company is a joke and a scam. They deserve negative 5 stares. I have never dealt with a company or service like this that wasn't a scam. If this company is legit, their business practice mirrors a fraudulent company. Do not do business with them. I never will again, besides they are way over priced.
