What if I dont stay with Swift for a year?

You should stay a year if you hope to get on with a better company. Swift truly does suck... I started out there back in 93. It is amazing how much they have grown thanks to fools like you and me. You know we're just hard working smucks looking to make a decent living doing some good and not doing crime.

I am so far removed from Swift's bullsh7t that I can not begin to say what they are like now. You have already started the process so hang tight and know that things do get better. Keep your nose clean and those violations low. Do your year and then move on to better things. Peace!

 

now in new york where i live if you take out loan money for school it takes allmost 5 months to get thru school besides if you stay the year your paid for and it looks better on you that you stuck it out

 

If you don't fulfill your contract with them, they'll take away your birthday and send you to a black-hull in Alaska.

Oh.. wait. That's the Coast Guard.

I agree with the others here - if you finish the school, stick it out for the year or whatever the contract says. If you've not started the school, look REALLY hard into paying your own way - either out of pocket or via a grant.

 

Your recruiter should have sent you a letter in the mail with the rules of the contract and general company rules and the pay scale. and an email. Long post so:

If you didnt sign anything or leave yet here is the important part:

i am going with swift as well. read your packet closer: that's 3900 + INTEREST, collection fees, legal fees, etc. if you even think about bailing before it's paid off.

just something to think about. it's probably better to stick with them for a year at least. besides, according to you, "Swift isnt my dream company just the only one willing to take me" then it'll take you a year (possibly more) to get experience that someone else will deem credible.

just stick with it for a year ... it's only a ####### year anyway. besides, you sound awfully choosy for someone who got accepted at only one company.

good luck to ya.
