I recently went to a NS hring session. I've been to several NS hiring sessions before, about 50 of them---all a big waste of time. These big cattle heard calls they have, and then they tell you how terrible the job is, then take stupid tests, and then these matermind idiots from Human Resources, who don't know good people when they see them, make a decision of who they want to interview. I've noticed their training pay has went up to $600/week, but the 1st 8 days in Atlanta, you get $120/day. They give you a debit card now with $20/day on it to eat for what and however many days you are in Atlanta (McDonough). They pay mileage if I remember too, now at .58 and half cents a mile.Oh yeah----the only 2 women that was at that recent hiring session I went to, both got interviewed. They've gotto make that quota of hiring so many of everybody! Screw whether if you have the qualifcations for the job.
SO, ADVICE FOR EVERYONE---TO SAVE YOURSELF TIME, HASSLE AND MONEY, STAY AWAY FROM THE NS.
I can't believe some guy drove 8 hours to this hiring session, paid for a hotel room, only to get burned---when a few days earlier he interviewed twice in the same area he lived.
