The lady I spoke to on the phone about a slight issue with my application was very kind and helpful. Bless her.

They’re always nice, in my experience. Nicest and most helpful public servants that I’ve dealt with. Not saying others aren’t but the CFP is batting 1000

My experience is 50/50

One time I'll call and the person kn the phone would be kind courteous and very helpful, for example I was calling kn why my PAL is taking so long and the woman pretty much said "it appears to be in progress of approval, it should be mailed in about 2 weeks, if you don't have it by the end of the month give us a call back and we will see where it's at and if theres anything holding it up!"

Well the next time I called I got a different person who was the polar opposite, just crass, agitated and like she was angry the whole time. When I asked her what the status of my PAL was I was told "we don't know, we have no way of checking that. It will be mailed to you when the process is done I can't give you a time frame"

And they seem to alternate, I'll get the nice one kne time then the aggressive one the next. I'm so glad I haven't had to call them in over 7 years
