Trying to get through to a tech support specialist and I've been on hold for 40 minutes now and still counting. Pointless to email for help because it takes 2 days for them to get back to you.

Report
Would not reccommend this business for employment to anyone. Very crooked company. Was employed through an agency, seemed to use its employees until contract is up and find things to nitpick on and will fire you or lay you off like nothing. Has very little regard for their employees.
