I had an appointment with Kimberly Smalls for a job opening, unfortunately I will say. Not only was she late to the appointment but she then hung up on the third ring. I was cooking in the kitchen and couldn't even dry my hands off fast enough to answer the call. I immediately called back and emailed twice for no answer, super unprofessional. I do not recommend
