Yup, worked doing filing for a bank. The great thing was that finding the job was easy. The disadvantage is that the temp agency gets paid a lot for the work that you're doing, instead of you. Also, the company you work for doesn't have to follow the same labour laws like they do for regular employees. That was in Canada though, so it could be different.
It's not a bad way to get your foot in the door or get some experience, but it's not an ideal long-term employment situation.
