You know, after asking the MTs and employees during my observation day, they all said ERAC was fun, but of course the hours were tough. I even asked a friend of mine who worked there, and he said it's fun too.

All this hype about what a great company ERAC is...well until about an hour ago when I found stumbled onto this site while searching on yahoo. I've been reading thread after thread and noticed how many complaints there were about the company. Ok, if there were a few, then so be it. But there are TONS and TONS of people who weren't satisfied, so something must be wrong right?

Anyways, I'm thinking twice now about this job. I actually have a meeting with the HR manager on Friday morning to talk about the training program and compensation/benefits. The actual training will begin on Monday. Although I have accepted, the thought about declining the offer before I actually start is in consideration.

Has anybody accepted, then declined the offer before the 1st day? What should i do? I know i should do what i feel is best for me, but I'm asking other peoples opinions. Thanks in advance.
If you go ahead and start, plan on committing at least a year so your resume doesn't look like crap and so that you can show an ability to perform and assume new levels of responsibility.

As a previous L3 I can tell you that our Group occasionally had MT's bail out during thier first week while going thru the orientation program etc. It usually happened after going over first year compensation or hours etc. The problem was some area managers were so eager to hire bodies that they did not always fully "disclose" all. Get my drift?

Anyway if you decide to quit your first week. Do so after they assign you an employee number etc. Then they take a retention "hit" since you were an employee in the computer system etc.

Good luck.
