I applied for a job on their website. I was called...

I applied for a job on their website. I was called the next day for an interview and went in the following Monday. I met with two women who were very nice and asked the regular interview questions to understand my needs and abilities. Then I was told they didn't have anything open (odd considering I came in to interview for a specific position) but said they knew of a different department that might have something and asked if I'd be willing to interview with the recruiter for that department. I said sure. I met a man named Brian who asked a lot of the same questions but didn't really listen to the answers. He also said he didn't have anything open but that he probably would have more jobs at the end of the week. He then had me take the standardized tests and said he'd call me the next day to discuss my results. He called the next day and said he hadn't gotten any jobs in but hopefully the next week, then said he'd call the next day and talk about my test results. He called the next day, said my results were good and then asked for the name of my supervisor at Wells Fargo (I had worked there through a different temp agency),information that I'd already given him and the original women who interviewed me. He had a position open at Wells Fargo and wanted to see if it would be a problem. I'd had an issue with that supervisor and I knew he wouldn't give me a very good reference, information that I told him. Thing is, that position was from 2 years ago and I had 2 other positions since then, one that I was at for a year and a half and that had kept me on for a year longer than originally planned, he wasn't interested in that one though. So he calls back and says that the manager didn't give me a bad reference but that it wasn't a good reference either (which didn't surprise me). This position was with the same supervisor so he said, because of that he couldn't place me there. That was fine with me as I had no desire to work with that supervisor again anyway. He called the next day and said he had another position in a different department at Wells Fargo but that he would need me to give him my supervisor's information from my last job, a position I was only at for a month and a half because work slowed down, again not interested in the previous position where I'd been for almost 2 years. He also said that he couldn't place me until I had called the rehire number and why hadn't I called it yet, this was my first time even hearing about it. When I tried to call it I couldn't get anything because it asked for an employee number, a number I didn't have because I wasn't an employee. I told him this and was told to try again, and of course it still didn't work. I get a call back the following day stating that this manager had also give me a bad reference (which was news to me because she had told the temp agency that placed me that I was a wonderful employee). He said that she told him that my production was low, considering I was only there for a month and a half and I was the only temp, I'm not even sure who my production was being compared to, and that I had attendance issues. I told him I didn't understand any of that because she'd told my other temp agency the exact opposite and she'd told me the opposite as well and that it didn't make sense. He basically just talked over me, didn't listen to anything I was telling him, and kept rushing to get off the phone. He then said that because of the 2 bad references he wouldn't be able to work with me anymore and hung up. He nevef called my supervisor at the job where I was at for over a year and he never called my other temp agency to ask about their experience with me or to verify what the supervisors told them. I feel like the whole experience was a waste of time and I got a lot of run around and then a brush off
