in most places you can’t even rent a crap hole for a $1,000 bucks a month, 🤦‍♂️, my bad a $1,000 before taxes...
I heard today that the hotels aren't in a very good location for getting food. Also that the hotels aren't set up to cook so you have to basically eat out of a microwave for a month.

Of course... With that training pay ramen works well from that microwave

When I went through 3 years ago the hotel had a microwave and a mini fridge. I bought a small crockpot, a George Foreman grill and a breakfast sandwich maker. You can get pretty creative with those appliances but I’m glad it’s over. It was difficult, 1st year pay with training pay sucked. I’m glad I came here and don’t regret it one bit.

I've heard that from every single person I've personally spoke with. I'm looking forward to it

If they’re still using the Sheraton Plantation, there are several places within walking distance to eat. There are also grocery stores and a Walgreens. And the shuttle will take you within like three miles. However, the part about not being able to cook is correct. Only a microwave and a mini fridge.

I had a bunch of vacation and sick time accrued at my previous regional, and used that payout to cover my training/first year pay gap. It’s not that bad if you plan ahead.

Theres a Publix within walking distance, and if you don’t have them clean your room everyday they’ll give you a $5 credit. You can stack them and after a while you’ll never pay for a meal at the bar/restaurant.

I made sure I could afford the transition. I am way out of training pay and I survived. Couldn't be happier. I also go lucky with hotel. Free breakfast every morning, free dinner Mon-Thurs, rooms with kitchenettes. My hotel bill was 14k. haha. I got points even. I am diamond Hilton Honors. Not all will be this lucky though.
