    I worked there 9 years ago and could not afford to feed my family. Only lasted about three months before I ran away screaming.

    In the big picture nine years isn't that long. But I thing a lot have things have changed in the industry in that time span.

    That's true but let me give my 2 cents on them anyway.
    When I got there the old man was still around but the kids had just got their hands on the reigns. All the old timers would cry to anyone who would listen about how the company was going down. Obviously time can heal all wounds so it may be different, buuuuuut in my experience when the kids take over it rarely gets better.

    I start orientation with McElroy on January 15th in Ennis, Texas. They are paying $750 a week during orientation and training in Texas, so I think that is pretty good. The company seems like a great place to be and I have done my research. We will see.
