Does anyone know anything about this company? Most of the jobs that I would be looking for in the paper are through this company. I've never heard good things about these kinds of agencies, so I thought I would see if you guys know anything.

What do people in Mobile think about paying $185 to "maybe" get a job through them?

Thanks.

You shouldn't pay somebody to get a job. That's more than likely a scam.

Don't do it! Classic bait-n-switch at it's finest, and they have this scam down to a science. This is how it works: You see an ad in the newspaper that you apparently qualify for. The ad lists the job's minimum requirements, so naturally, you assume you qualify for it, right? More on that later. Anyway, you call them to get more information about the job, and they convince you that this is your job. You make an appointment to speak with a recruiter. Again, another sales pitch. You get excited, so you sign up with them (after handing over your $200 - that you can't afford to lose, given this shaky economy, and your tight financial status). Ater you pay, you are then lead to their computers that contain their job databases. After you log in, you look up your job number, read it's more detailed description and requirements, and low and behold, you find that "your" job contains more qualifications that you DO NOT qualify for! Remember, they listed the MINIMUM requirements!! After the initial shock wears off because you know you've been suckered (and you compose yourself - which is hard to do at this point), you are then instructed to browse through their entire database (over 300 entries), which contains more jobs that you most likely do not qualify for, or are meager employment opportunities at best. Their main objective is to get you into their office! Their charismatic, well-rehearsed sales pitch takes over from there. Don't be fooled by their awards, plaques, and alleged testimonies. Save you $200. If only there was someone standing outside giving warnings to other potential suckers. Hey, that's a thought.
