        Business Outlook

        Pros

        Great opportunity to work in various environments with various people and materials. Real skill builder position. Allows you to work and grow independently. Success is based off of how hard you work.

        Cons

        Sink or swim position. You either do really well, or really poorly. If you get proper training you'll do well but the key word is IF. You will need to tell upper management when youre sinking or else no one will know. Requires a lot of communication on your part.

        Thank you for the feedback. Training is very important. Please check out our Training Center to see all the training offerings.

                      Cons

                      CEO does not care about employees or rewarding said employees. the process have changed becoming more time consuming with no added benefit to employee or the company. No raise will be provided for 2 years but executive upper management get their toys and bonuses.

                      I interview with this place about a week and a half ago. I think it went well and in the interview she said the next step would be a writing example, so I did that. Sent it to them the day it was due and haven't heard back since. She did say any next steps would be after thanksgiving since everyone was busy and their calendars full last week. I followed up on Monday with an email, but haven't heard back. Maybe it's taking awhile or should I try again end of week? I would at least like feedback.
