Let me ask you a few questions: Are you recently out of college? Are you desperate for a job? Why are you going to ERAC? Are you unable to work elsewhere?

See, its easy to get a job at ERAC because they need employees really, really bad. They don't turn as many people down as they say...the people who don't end up working at ERAC do their homework and realize how bad it is. And you want to believe them because HR seems really nice. But when Sylvia (or whoever higher up) offers you that job, it is only natural to feel good about yourself.

Basically, the smarter you are, the worse the job is...at least most of the time. The manager and area manager's you interviewed with will constantly tell you with a big smile how much money you can make and how the job is filled with new challenges every day, and how everyone gets promoted all the time. But during this time, know that it will be a long, long, long process and you will become a different person (and not necessarily for the better).

It's up to you what you want to do. Are you willing to sacrafice your personal life? And I truly mean "sacrafice."
