Subject:Needing info on contracting (and a company) From:"Buss, Jason A" <jabuss -at- cessna -dot- textron -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Sat, 21 Apr 2001 11:43:54 -0500
Hello everyone,
Does anyone here have experience working for either Princeton Information
(consulting) or Sprint telecom?
I am considering a very good offer that would require me to relocate (which
is completely new territory for me, having grown up, lived, and worked in
this area all of my life).
Anyway, I have heard horror stories from some people who have worked for
contracting firms (slow payroll, unscrupulous negotiations, general
unpleasantness). I was wondering if anyone has worked for this firm and how
they felt about the experience. I have researched everything I could on the
net about them, I would just like a testimonial or two. I have to let them
know Monday, so if you could mail me off the list at jabuss -at- worldnet -dot- att -dot- net
(my home address) I will summarize and post to the list anything I find out.
Please don't respond to the general list, I don't get this at home.
Also, if anyone has feelings about working for Sprint, those would be
appreciated, too. Everything I have seen and heard is pretty positive, I
just want to make sure I am doing the right thing.
Thanks everyone!
