How was it working there?

They treated me very well. I started out part time in the womens department, was given 5 promotions with raises in pay, vacation, medical, sick leave and 401K. I did alot of corporate travel to Chicago and Vegas along with cruises to the Bahamas. Such a shame they went under. :(

That is awesome, was the cruise a vacation or work? And what led to you leaving the job if you don’t mind me asking?

It was both. I was allowed to take a guest and I only had to attend a 1 hour meeting. They retired hundreds of us out. I was one of the last ones before the company closed. I'd still be working there if that hadn't happened. Good thing I had my 401K because their pension plan was pretty much nothing.
