We have received the best customer service today at the drug testing station. We very much appreciate what you have done for us, especially because we caused the inconvenience. Mr. Lance was so calm, friendly, and understanding! Thank you! You made our day!

Worst unemployment office ever. The career coach refused to help me. Work essentials is a complete waste of time.

Do not send your child to this driving school. Instructor told my son that people kidnap children and drink their blood (can't make this stuff up). The driving instructor cancelled one of the 2 actual driving sessions the day of, with no notice. When he did show up for the (2) two hour driving sessions he showed up late and left early. For $375.00 this class was a joke!

This was by far the worst service I have ever had. I waited 2 months to get my driving days in when it was supposed to be within that week. And when we set up an appointment date no one even showed up. I would never recommend this place

Rude to people when being drug tested. If you don't like your job. Get another one. Geeeh
