heh heh.
actually. i went in their and they were all over me. 'we only accept 2% of applicants' blah blah this and that. a year and a half nothing. NOTHING. went through 6 contancts there in that time frame. eveytime i'd call to see what's up (of course while i was working on my own or fulltime) 'oh yeah, so and so isn't here anymore, can i help you?!?' sure, then a month later they weren't there either.
good luck though. maybe they are better now.

i had a really great experience with them in one city...they kept me in work for months and found me a hot position at a studio i loved.
then i switched cities to denver, and here they SUCK.

2% my ass, that's total BS, I know guys that have received jobs with those foos that couldn't programme their way out of a box.

let me ask you this then JazX, how do you programme your way out of a box?

totally depends on the city. I've had great experiences. One key that I think has made a difference for me (and I've worked with them in 2 major/1minor cities) is to really connect with one person and make them want to work with you. I've had my agent in each city give me a personal introduction to new cities and its made all the difference. Good luck.
