DO NOT GET A JOB Thru Synerfac!!!
They were not honest and upfront about the employer that they worked with.
Turned out that the department head was an a@#$# and made everyone's life in the department miserable, he loved having the power to jerk people around and make them fear for their jobs. Any little thing he could find to critisize he did, including flat out firing people (this happened to four people) instead of laying them off when the work slowed down.
I will never work for Synerfac again due to the types of clients they work for.
Synerfac is a low rate company and will say anything to make money off of you. DO NOT TRUST THEM!

I've personally worked for Synerfac, and landed a long-term (5 year) job through them. They were among the more friendly, open group that I've dealt with, and were willing to get me information about the company, like medical, benefits, schedules, etc. before I made my decision. Other companies (Hey, you people in Cincy hiring for the filter manufacturer! Wonder why I didn't bother calling you back?) aren't as willing to do so.
However, I do agree partially. They didn't tell me that this company has a history of laying people off, nor did they mention the incredible internal politics and nepotistic attitudes this company has. Looking back, I don't really expect a contract company to tell me this type of information, as they are there to fill positions. It should have been up to you to determine if the environment was good to work in. Pay attention to small details. The company in question had a huge cabinet filled with every type of headache rememdy known to man. There was a reason for this! The company I'm with now has a medicine chest filled with everything you need to treat cuts and burns (we work with metals and electricity) but only has one bottle of painkiller...
I will admit that the people at the office I dealt with seemed kind of vacant. I have no idea why.
