My beef with temp agency is that they take your money. If you're making $10/hr, for example, the company you're working for is probably paying the temp agency $15/hr - the temp agency is keeping the $5/hr.

I know at my work seeing "XYZ Temp Agency" isn't nearly as impressive as seeing that the applicant spent the same amount of time elsewhere.

I don't think temping is a good idea if you're starting a career, intend to stay in the same city, etc. (I understand there are situations where this works - you HAVE to fill in the gap, money/employment wise, you're a pregnant woman and no one will hire you with benefits, etc.)
