Boy, I didn't think I'd be the one to kill the thread! XD Well, here's something to get this topic revived.

So, I used to work at a sucky place which only paid me $8.25 an hour. The reason why it was sucky was because I ran main register and customer service, I almost never had back-up, I constantly had to look up and print tickets because our stockers weren't doing their job, I had to do work for the managers that I wasn't supposed to do and could get fired for, then got yelled at when the system timed out and I had to pester the managers to redo the permissions for me because I was busy ringing up customers when it timed out. And here's the icing on the cake, with doing all of that the stockers were being paid $8.00 an hour, never even touching the registers and the assistant manager that was hired instead of the furniture manager getting the position had never run a register in their entire life and would talk on the phone with their friends half the time instead of doing something productive, like stocking when he had no work to do like the other manager that didn't sit on their a** most of the day.

So my new job pays $12.00 an hour and I get commission bonuses for services my company provides (installing and repairing certain things), and all I do is walk around a store all day talking to people and giving information about our services and products in a store location since I work for an office and they don't have a store.

Well, at the store I do announcements for my company's services on the intercom, and it apparently sounds so good that at first the people in the store thought me talking was a recording, like for a commercial or something. Then everyone found out I do them myself and its not recorded, so now the manager wants to hire me at his store to do work like that for him but in other things than just what my current job does. They offer benefits to part timers, they have a tuition plan, they are willing to compete to get me to work for them, and on top of that I'd be saving on travel expenses because right now I have to do a two hour round trip for meetings once a week and pay an $8 toll on the way back for my current job. The only thing I was afraid of was that since this job offer is in a different state I'd have to pay two states for taxes, but I found out from my professor its only to the state with the higher taxes because the other state will take their part from the higher tax state anyways. So all around they are better, and they are willing to work around my schedule too! I've put in for it and hopefully I'll be talking to the manager about it and discussing the paperwork there and what all my job would entail.
