      Pros

      Awesome co workers, love the travel benefits

      Cons

      Very low pay almost poverty wages, lots of unpaid work like during boarding, no food for the crew even if the flights are long so you're basically wishing that some 1st class passengers will not eat their meals. They sometimes want to ignore the rules to accommodate the passengers.

                      Free flights when you can actually use them

                      Cons

                      Once they merged with United it went down hill from there. Flights are always oversold, no way to commute home on standby. Best luck is jump seating with US airways or American. Good luck trying to plan a vacation and actually use the perks of free flights. Flights are always over sold so it makes it impossible to plan a trip because you can get stuck & waste 2 days just trying to get to your destination.

                      Do you experience that how long the hiring process would take at Thermo Fisher? I got my second interview with hiring manager at the beginning of November but I haven’t heard nothing from them. When I’ve emailed them to check in they just said that the process would be slow, no time frame. I would be able to get an offer soon from other company but work as contractor. Should I wait for Thermo Fisher?

                      Booz Allen Hamilton Recently applied and I've been referred for an interview! Any tips on interviewing with Booz Allen? And if I am being asked to complete clearance and background upfront, is this a good indicator for being hired?

                      Alex L.

                      Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
