I had a disappointing experience with LEAP Employment. From the start, I felt stereotyped when I was specifically told to come in “sober” to my appointments—something I found unnecessary and offensive. Even after addressing this with the receptionist, I never received an apology or explanation. Additionally, I found their staff to be quite pushy despite making it clear multiple times that I didn’t need their help. I didn’t gain any real benefit from their services, and while others may have a better experience, I personally wouldn’t recommend this organization unless you’re okay with being
