If you pay up front, and they reimburse you through the year in your paycheck - then they are paying for the uniform
If you don't pay upfront, then if they make a payroll deduction - then its coming out of your pocket
Which is it? You pay, or Company pays? Or maybe it is you pay the entire amount, and Company gives you a partial uniform reimburse every year?

I don't know if that was an unusual experience or not or if it had to do with ordering the slim fit coat vs the regular fit (I swear I'm not a fatty!). If you happen to find a coat to try on before placing the order, definitely take that opportunity.

what language is "slim fit" I am not understanding - no habla - please to explain slowly.

March 6th class date!!!! Thank you all for your help and information in helping me achieve this goal!
So I guess next question, anyone commuting to Charlotte from PHL? How are loads and where do you recommend the best place in or around charlotte for a family and kids in elementary?? I have seen most of the highly rated schools sit outside of the charlotte area (surrounding areas). Anyone with info feel free to shoot me a message or respond on here.

You are only there a month. Then you'll be a gypsy through sims because there's three locations for those and then you'll be Philadelphia based. Or did we open a new base?
