Thoughts on working for EMGL (or in Guyana)?
WAEM is a joke. No one works together and everyone is out to get you.
I am at one of the most vile disgusting sites in the companies arsenal. No one is friendly or helpful. The groups are formed and they are against me. I tried to help out another group and was told that In was bothering them and my help was not... — read more

401k vesting?
Experienced hire here, and just realized the 401k company match apparently has 3 year vesting. So if I leave after 2.9 years all of the company match gets clawed back, resulting in a 0% 401k match? WTF. 401k match isn't a cash bonus or stock... — read more

Dental Benefits
DW: “Our employees are our biggest asset” “Our success and record profits are because of your hard work”. Then he cuts our dental benefits, a-s h#le, how does everyone like paying for a cleaning these days?
Promoted Outwards
