This place is so unprofessional the front lady at the desk miss jenetta Miss J smokes weed and drink liquor on the job early in the morning before 12 I witnessed this with my own eyes. Very ratchet and ghetto over the phone she use profanity at her clients does not do her job. Miss Harris always talks about your personal life and she doesnt do anything on the job all she does is talk about her riches and her mansion . Not once have I seen a full group of angermangement people nobody goes there they do it in a house . DO NOT GO HERE AT ALL . Worst place ever. Planning on sueing them
