          Pros

          The only pros I can think of are the benefits and pension..

          Cons

          They didn't train me AT ALL the first 4 months. I sat in my cubicle listening to music and doing crosswords... may sound great for some people but I come to work to do work... Management only cared about themselves and complained about the workload and would not train me and the 4 others who started the same time as me.

            Atmosphere isn't always positive. Can be stressful on high radio traffic shifts.

                      I had an panel interview(which seems the last interview?) on Nov.21st, sent thank you email, and received response(look forward to our next step) on same day. but have not heard back from them afterwards. I understand that we had Thanksgiving weekend but should I send follow up email? or should I just wait?

                      Digital Marketing Coordinator

                      I am having an interview on Monday. Any tips or suggestions? I am finally getting back in work force after 1and a half year of break. I feel like I have lost the touch with current Digital Marketing landscape.

                      I was recently laid off from a small cap company and worked as a data engineer for 2 years. Interviewing with another company started off today with the HR round. How and when do you guys negotiate sign on bonus? Is the rule of thumb is 10% of the compensation?
