In Reply to: companies that do not post line rate... - enlighten me.

The big companies want to spout off about how terrific they are in OTHER ways and then make you feel like they are giving you SO many other things (besides the line rate which is what we are all really after).

What I love is the companies who test you (tell you they can't give a line rate until testing is done) and you find out later that the line rate you were offered is what they offer EVERYONE regardless of testing or your credentials. That really burns me up.

I don't respond to companies with no names, no pay rate and limited ad information. They are usually trying to hide something, IMO.

It is one of my pet peeves as well
I would rather just ask questions first, and then test. This company is apparently small in Tennessee, but I don't have the time to waste only to find out they do not want me or worse make me wait until they get paid to pay me kind of thing. Oh well, I didn't take the test, so nothing lost I guess. I'm sure they'll find someone!! At this point, I do not need the work bad enough to take that long of a test and follow templates. Most tests will let you free-type, but not this place. Oh well.. thanks for listening.
