That is, I am undecided whether it is worth going to a company where the atmosphere is certainly better (I know because a few friends work there), but neither is the pay significantly higher nor are the benefits significantly better? I believe that... — read more

Has anyone heard or do anyone know if we get anything for Christmas? I’m leaning towards probably not, but I’m hopeful that they do.

How can a place as disorganized as this still function at all is beyond me.

Does anyone know if we will get paid tomorrow since. Friday is black Friday and Thursday is Thanksgiving
