Spike,

It wasn't a bad place to kill time till something better came along. Things started to go sour in 2005-2006 time frame imo. My health insurance is currently $500 a month now when it was originally $50-70. I know people who were given occurances while on maternity leave/IFMLA. If you call in fatigued and the company don't like your reason they give you an occurance.

I have been actively pursuing other jobs and applying like a madman since 2007-2008 timeframe and haven't been lucky so far.
