Be sure to get sled dog to pull you to work."

Trying to get my 401k and profit sharing resolved with the H.R. person is impossible. It's been a month and a half and there still no closer now then they were the day I left. Checks were consistantly short every pay period. They wanted to blame field staff for that but when it came out it was 99% of the time the office staff who messed up the checks."

Mileage is only paid at 25 cents per mile, so if you drive your own car you will lose money for each mile you drive for the company."
