    Good luck in orientation! Buckle down and prepare for a firehose of information. Honestly it isnt "that" hard, just lots being tossed at you. And.......its worth it. No matter what my daily mood is, i still love working here!

    Just stay calm...You're not going to hear lectures on quantum mechanics, you're going to hear "information" as you show them you're able to be on your own out the gate...Be decisive and confident when driving, they're not there to teach you to drive(although they will offer many techniques and help all along the way and if you need it) they're there to make sure you learned the basics in school, that they can build on it and that you are open minded...Confidence is also key...If they think you need someone to hold your hand, you may NOT be there long...They're not expecting a million miler's skills, they're expecting you to make good decisions as you learn and improve...

    Great company, I was there almost 2yrs, and have nothing bad to say about them!...Well, I wish they had a terminal closer to me, I'd go back in a heartbeat but I'm spoiled on hometime now...It would have to be convenient...
