Her assistant Kayla sent out the rejection form with no feedback. I even requested some sort of feedback and never heard back.

All corespondences through Kayla, an assistant, which is cool. Got rejection email after 10pm...just seems unprofessional...I don't know. Just my opinion. Also, when it all comes from an assistant, does the agent even read until it's upgraded to full?

"Your work has been carefully reviewed, and it has been determined that Holloway Literary will not be pursuing representation of your manuscript. We regret sending you this information in a form letter; however, due to the volume of emails we receive daily it is almost impossible to send customized letters to every author. Thank you again for thinking of Holloway Literary, and we wish you every success in your writing career."
Isn't it standard practice to send a personalized rejection on a full request? Oh well...
