I would think twice before taking the job. Not to say I wouldn't take it, because there are a lot of other jobs that are worse. Too many companies in my area that were once big have gone under or sold out, so I'm grateful for the fact that I work for a company that is still in business. And doing well. I know it's not all unicorns and butterflies here at Brown, but we could be far worse off. Back during the strike, I remember seeing a lot of jobs advertised for $6/hour, and that made me appreciate what I had more. I would recommend the job to someone, because as bad as it can get, it still is a better opportunity than is available to a lot of people. I think that after we have been here for a while we tend to get spoiled in our thoughts and behavior. If I recommended someone I would certainly let them know ALL of the positives and negatives so that they could make a good decision. It has worked for me, but I've seen a lot of people over the years who never should have come to work here. This place is definitely not for everyone.
Kmart sux. So does Walmart. And Orion.
