Waltham Company = High Turnover

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you can handle poor training, your chances of advancement are great since most employees don't last more than 2 years

Cons

The company is "growing" but that means there is CONSTANT turnover. At one point, in one year, I had 5 different managers.
