   They cost me a lot of money, time and trouble. I won't go into the specifics on this site but do not allow them to place you in an "exclusive" contract, where they do an "in house" interview and then send you to a facility without you ever having the opportunity to speak with the on site manager.

   Hi Rod,
   
   Could you elaborate more on this phenomenon? In general? For example, why do you need to speak with manager on site? Newb here.

   That way you are sure what information is given. I agreed to a specific position to the company rep. When I arrived the manager had me slated for another position. Traveled many miles to get there only to leave without completing the assignment. Charged for housing too. Will not work for cctc.

   I see, so the "in house" / exclusive interview bound you to an agreement with the travel company, and the temporary employer and travel company had a disconnect regarding your assignment? Seems like the contract is null and void to me if the assignment changed. I bet it was the tiny type.
   
   Anyways, thanks for the tip. I will keep my eyes open if I ever travel.
