        Pros

        Almost free flight benefits. People are really nice except for upper management.

        Cons

        Communications are non-existent. Pay is really low and it's hard to get a raise. No vacation your first year only state mandated sick time they call PTO. Turnover is extremely high so information is lost. CEO cusses at people for not getting things done because of short staffing.

                      VP of Sales/director of Business Development

                      During the first screening interview I have been asked at times about my job search status and if I am talking to others. While this is probably a question they have no right to ask, I wonder if there is a right or wrong answer. If I say I am interviewing with 2-3 companies, they may feel it is not worth the extra effort to continue the discussion. If I say I am not actively interviewing, it may be a negative sign. Any idea about where they are coming from? (WFH & free agent for a while)

                      Recruiting Coordinator

                      Hello! I have two interviews, one tomorrow & another one on Friday. I'm preparing cause I feel that I'm not very good at them & I hate that. So, I'm researching, taking notes & praying a whole lot lol! Is it okay to refer to notes during an interview? Should I ask interviewer if it's okay? I wanna do my best & feel it'll help some ... a little more confidence I guess!
