    Ok Lilrap, I don't have any real info on WS, but I would like to advise to either do two things or both. One call your recruiter, any questions like these should be answered before you agree to go to orientation in my opinion. Also type in the company name in the search box, you'll probably find some good info on your company somewhere on this forum . Good luck and be safe!

    You are going to spend all day in class and when you get back to your motel room you WILL have plenty of homework to keep you up all night. They have changed the orientation process since I went through it. But let me forewarn you, there is no communication at this company. And being fresh out of school you are going to be treated like crap no matter where you go. Orientation isn't going to be as easy as you may think. Just keep your cool and if you have any problems don't make any excuses just say its a lot to take in all at once.
    Matt has a dry personality and may come across as an ###, but he will give you help if you just ask.
