Originally the company went through a work agency to contact me. But because they are so cheap and unscrupulously underhanded at this place, they ended up bypassing the work agency and made an employment offer to me directly. This cheated the agency out of their finder's fee or other cut of the pie they rightly deserved! I should have used this as a signal not to work here. I am so glad not to be working at Hands On Labs any more.
