Job Requirements
Hiring requires a minimum of an Undergraduate degree in a
business field i.e. BA/Finance.
Requiring preference is for Caucasian, Indians, and Asians with
3.5 GPA's or above. African Americans are only required if quotas
are needed regardless of GOA or degree. Most African Americans
deemed as hard to manage. The exceptions are attractive females
that do not mind using their feminine wilds to be persuasive.
No applicants over age 50 need apply.
Career Path will be developed based on internal managements
needs, not yours. The Career Path for business is done via
competency development mapping and Performance Management forms.
This is an extensive overkill and in most instances is never
followed. This is mostly for show, but you have to follow the
rules to stay in the game.

Uppers
Flex schedule or potential 4 day work weeks. The less time you spend here the
better.
Vacation time is good.
Meet and Network with interesting people.
Training and Travel can be rewarding
|
Downers
Potential racial profiling and harassment. Midwestern small-time way of
thinking. Lack of global experience and professionalism, lack of cultural
transformation.
Appearance is more important than intelligence, i.e. overweight
and intelligent verses slim and lack intelligence.
Management can not be trusted.
What you are told to get there is totally different than what you
receive once on board. Ask questions, get all things in writing if you
can.

Lifestyle
Lifestyle should be flexible, depending on position expectation is 50-70 hours a
week to be successful and on a management track. Global travel within the first

Advice to Jobseekers
Find another company to work. Or use this company for the
training, travel, and resume experience entry. Do not stay longer than 2 years
maximum and then move on to a real career. I did but unfortunately I spent 11
years here, 9 of which could have been better spent. Do not get caught up and
become complacent to your environment. Remember, another person can not define
your career, only you can.
