I originally applied in June and didnt interview until Oct. I will begin training in Feb. The people I have talked to that work there seem to be pretty happy. The contacts I have made that currently work there dont seem to frequent these forums. Upgrades based on company need/employee capability. Some have upgraded in 3 months, others a couple of years. Previous experince and total time when hired will come into play as to when you will be eligible to upgrade. Seems like a good place. I hope I am not wrong.
