American Traveler
I am telling you all do not use American traveler. I have been at an assignment in Tacoma and after nine weeks told me that the company had canceled my contract. What made me angry was that they waited for the holidays to be over before canceling me. If I had been such a problem, why did they wait for 9 weeks to cancel me? Being all the way across the country from my home, it would be a 3000 mile journey home. I had moved all the way from Baltimore to Tacoma. They told me I needed to be out in 24 hours. With the massive floods in Washington which closed down the interstates coming and going out of Washington, I pleaded with them to let me stay a few days and they told me this was not their problem. I still don't know really why I was fired but at this point it is irrelevant. What seems strange is that I had referred a friend to the agency and she was fired under similar circumstances. The last irritating problem was that I had put in all the paperwork seven weeks prior to departure. They ended up calling me while I was on my way to tell me they had overlooked some important information. Seven weeks and they couldn't get their act together? In addition, they turned out to be under bidder for the contract and ended up paying less than my original company which I transferred back to post this fiasco. In addition, My former travel company was offering a bonus. Let me tell you, I am now fighting to get a job and face the potential of having to drive all 3000 miles back home. In addition, they decided to send my check home rather then direct deposit it. It goes on and on and I am sorry for gabbing on but I am extremely upset with this company. To all the people at American traveler, I thank you for making my life difficult.
