    Oh yeah.. I really want to go back to corporate,, I kinda want to get involved with the marketing team.. Thats really my interest right now.
    But not a bad company, They take care of you thats for sure aslong as your shit is right.

    I worked for QT before I went to Racetrac.. I started at QT when I was 16 PT and started going to college.. Saw the potential in the Retail business.. left college went full time with qt when I was 18, Became a 2nd assistant with them, back in 97 made 38 k that year, at 18 thats alot of $$$ Thats the lowest Income I have earned since.
    But QT had to much politics for me.. RT offer more money.. and damn they are much more laidback and take more care of you.

    Dude, i am on the road that you were back then... i got hooked up with a job at QT (where i work now) at 16, and i have no complaints... and yes it is a lot of work and it is very fast paced! but yeah i am 17 now and i will be hanging out with QT for a while, considering that next year will be time for college... and at 8.25 an hour, that is plenty of money being in school and overall a very competitive pay for my age as a PT clerk... cool to see someone's opinion who did what i am probably going to do

    Wild Wing Cafe, I work as a cook and food prep. When cooking I work in the wing section and make the marinades for the wings, and get to bucket chicken (yummm...not) I am working my way to the appetizers section. During days that I get to prep, I make all the food for the coming days. From the ranch you dip your celery in to the salads you eat...along with the cole slaw and brownies....the rack of ribs to the chili and tomato soup...

    I work for 2 companies but 1 job...Newell Investigative Services Inc.-Which we are Fire Cause and Origin Investigators for mostly Automobile Manufacturers, our biggest client is Ford Motor Co., but we work with them all...As for that company my job is that I learn as much as possible from my boss and one day become a investigator for the company...We have 2 investigators locally(Gainesville) that travel 5 and 6 days a week year round working cases and 1 in Montana and 1 in Las Vegas, Nv...They handle as much of the stuff on the west coast as possible. The 2nd company I work for is Litigation Storage Specialists, we collect, store, and hold inspections on evidence involved in litigated matters, mostly vehicles that are wrecked or burned, and some that are exemplar vehicles for some of our cases. My job with it is to basically make sure that the warehouse runs smoothly and to take care of everything and handle inspections...Anyways I know that was pretty long but figure I would give some explenation
